I haven’t seen anything about ICE arrests on the news for weeks. America has moved on. March Madness is upon us. Baseball is starting. Cocktails on the patio are in full swing. Hiking, golf, tennis, biking, long walks with the dog, they’re are so many better things to do for your mental health than an angst event with no discernible outcome. |
You see, I can enjoy all of those and still care about my neighbors. |
Is this the new GOP talking point? None of you need to worry your pretty little heads about all the destruction going on at home and abroad. Just try the good old American coping strategy of alcohol and denial. |

Will the cherry blossoms be blooming next Sat.?
I cannot wait!

You should ask your neighbors if they care about the rally. They probably won’t be home, though. They’ll likely be out doing something fun or constructive. |
I'm a neighbor and I care about the protest. It is constructive. This time some of my college and younger kids have agreed to attend. Peaceful protest is an American tradition and they need to understand that and think about the future of their country. If they want to have a fun and constructive future, they need to take action in the present. |
Joining my neighbors is very constructive. I've found it's also beneficial to my mental health to see I'm not alone. Everyone at the rallies has been so friendly. I've gone with friends or alone. |
DP. You may want to acquaint yourself with the first amendment of the constitution. And while you’re at it, you may want to read up on the public uprisings and protests that contributed to the start of the American Revolution. |
I support your right to exercise your 1A rights, but I think it’s a waste of time in this case. Please don’t denigrate the lead up to the American Revolution by comparing it to the Beanie Baby of protests. |
What alternatives do you have to offer? |
They already suggested drinking and watching basketball. The basketball you can follow on the phone while you protest. Save the cocktail for after the protest. |
My phone will be in airplane mode. I will be wearing a hat and sunglasses, and a mask to help with the pollen. I have considered infrared blocking sunglasses. |
Let me get this straight. The worry is that ICE is going to target protesters at the same time that we are all spelling billions and billions and billions of dollars of our tax money to bomb a country over their targeting of protesters? That would make no sense. |
And yet. |
