Abolish ICE. GO BIRDS.

This screenshot shows Governor Gavin Newsom responding to a tweet from Pete Hegseth. The latter reads “another “mostly peaceful protest” brought to you by Gavin Newsom,” and included a photo from the LA protest today, in which you can see black smoke and some destruction. The former reads, “are you going to send in the Marines the next time the Philadelphia Eagles win, too?“ and includes a photo from this year’s Eagles victory parade, featuring a fire in the middle of an intersection and folks wearing Eagles hats on the sidelines.

Want to attend the Philly no Kings protest from the burbs? Reserve a spot on this bus from King of Prussia. Folks did this for April 5 and loved the experience. You can park at the bus depot, it takes you to and from, and you can remain with the group if you like.
