If you guys ever want to chat with an immigration lawyer, feel free to message me. I’ve been doing detained removal defense for 8 years at a well known NYC legal non-profit. @rdrohan

2025-06-25 12:10:08 +0000 UTCAppreciated the discussion of protest, its function and rationale, and how the cops are inherently an antagonist (especially in the case of a protest against the law). Many people, even those sympathetic to the cause of a given protest, really don't understand what a protest is. "If only protests were entirely out of sight, non-confrontational, unprovocative, and completely ineffectual".
