I’m so proud of the San Diego community that stood strong to protect and defend the ICE kidnapping that happened on May 30 at a local restaurant, Buona Forchetta.
A video of the ICE raid showed heavily armed and masked agents (modern day Gestapo) dressed in full tactical gear surrounding the restaurant. A large crowd of community members pushed back at the ICE agents, surrounding their vehicles and yelling. The ICE agents deployed flash bang smoke grenades which broke up the crowd.
A local politician questioned why ICE agents were carrying machine guns and “aggressively shoving people against the walls,” handcuffing all the employees. He said the warrant for the raid, which was signed by a federal judge, instructed ICE agents to arrest everyone and detain all the employees.
“I don’t know how a federal judge signs off on that,” he said. “What about the rights of those citizens?” He said the warrant didn’t indicate reference to any of the workers having committed violent crimes.
Another politician said that the TWENTY armed agents who burst into the restaurant traumatized the staff and the owner.
Can you believe this is actually happening? And THIS, too…
The orange POS has planned a military parade in Washington, D.C. for his birthday on June 14. This display of might is intended to intimidate opponents and solidify his image as a strongman on our dime—we won’t stand by while that happens.
Instead of allowing this military farce to overwhelm the day, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption.
It’s significant that the new Pope also chose this day to appear in Chicago as hopefully millions of people gather and celebrate the election of its native son — and first North American pontiff — Pope Leo XIV.
Have you seen the news that the orange POS sent the National Guard to Los Angeles EVEN THOUGH our Governor did NOT request their presence?
Did you hear that the orange POS has made it ILLEGAL to wear masks in public UNLESS you’re a member of his ICE gestapo?
Do you understand what is going on? This is not a drill; democracy is in trouble. According to the nonprofit, Third Act, our role is to bring the power and wisdom of elders to this movement, to ensure our voices are heard loud and clear to protect our democracy and our rights.
I think I’ll join my friends and neighbors locally on June 14. Rise up! RESIST!

I’m calling the douchebag-in-chief Chicken and Waffles now. True to all bullies with no self confidence, so much of what he does is reactive (done out of fear), poorly planned (sending in National Guard without logistics to take care of them), and he constantly waffles on everything. I just hope that the DC protests stay peaceful. What’s scary is, the people Dingbat surrounds himself with are as impotent (zero self-empowerment) as he is and will stop at nothing to kiss the ring and be the big man-child on campus, even if it means breaking the law and hurting people. The level of victim consciousness is astounding. That said, he will not last. We will prevail!

I hope no protesters show up at all in DC to ignite his temper tantrums. I hope everyone else is at rallies around the country. We all know by know he’ll seed the true and peaceful gatherings with his violent cultmembers, one more reason to avoid DC. And many kudos to the new pope, too.
I hope it’s pouring rain in DC like the forecast suggests. I’m also proud of our governor for his comments. I don’t foresee any problems in my beachy little town but I’ve already sussed out an escape route just in case.
