Finally home safe, and though I went to the liberal parade today it was still a weighty day.
It takes all kinds so I definitely don't want to tell the #NoKings crowd -not- to do symbolic protests but fuck, I'm racked with angst rn.
It's reported that over 70,000 people marched in the #Seattle anti-trump parade today.
Meanwhile in Tukwila only 200 people showed up to materially stop deportations. They tied up DHS, cops and ICE for the entire day.
Just 200 people.
So if you have 2-4 hours free tomorrow and are able bodied, I think even a few more people in Tukwila just might keep migrants from going to prison. Even if immigrants are arrested, directly protesting ICE operations will raise the costs of these Gestapo assed ICE tactics.
If we make it consistent that kidnapping 2 migrants requires facing off with 200+ protesters we truly will melt ICE under the weight of their impossible quotas.

Stopped by the courthouse today and couldn't help but notice a #pride flag(NB pride, right) was still flying above the court.
Speaking to reporters I got the scoop that activist allegedly stole the American flag on Tuesday annd burned that shit right in front of the court police and replaced 😂
Evidently the cops replaced the flag Tuesday evening so Wednesday the same thing happened and since then the cops just gave up.
Seems like queer antifa land to me for sure.
The protest at Seattle's immigration court house is STILL going. Getting word that activist on the ground have been pursued by riot cops for the last few hours but so far have remained free from police custody. For some reason Seattle's police chief seems to be personally out on the front lines of the riot squad chasing about 20ish blacl bloc protesters around downtown rn.
It sounds like the migrant defense was highly successful this weekend in Tukwila. Only two immigrants were believed to have been kidnapped on Saturday, wish it were zero but thankful it was not efficient for ICE.
Today ICE didn't even bother to show up for work! 🎉🎊🤗
Hundreds of migrants and many comrades showed up none the less. Migrants wanted proof they attempted to attend the surprise interviews.
