Oh, cheers to a fellow Austen fan (though I confess to abject ignorance of British Twitch streamers).

A popular theme of today's signs was some variation of:
- "In LA we prefer our ICE crushed."
- "ICE melts in LA"
- "ICE doesn't taste of water, it tastes of FASCISM"

Hope she is doing better now?

Here in SoCal, we're also pissed as hell at having an invading military force of our own National Guard and Marines. Every helicopter that flies overhead is triggering.

But you're also right about how mainstream folks feel about ICE now. I think this sign says it best:

Two I never managed to get pics of were:
"In LA we prefer our ICE crushed"
and
"The reason eggs have gotten so expensive is that all our chickens are in Congress."

There was a wonderful vibe, and great interplay with cars driving down Ocean Boulevard honking and displaying signs of their own.

Anybody have a phone number we can complain to?

No Kings Long Beach stretched along Ocean Boulevard for nearly a mile. It was packed on both sides of the street, and in true SoCal fashion features a lot of "drive-through" protesters who honked, cruised, and displayed signs out of car windows. It was a hoot! Some great signs, too.

I think June 14th there are going to be a lot of Americans celebrating a patriotic holiday (Flag Day) by doing their patriotic duty and protesting a would-be Fascist King.

I hope the punditry is watching.
