What it says in sub-zero weather many with signs simply saying "ICE OUT."
Simple enough to understand that feeling.
What one word was most striking was the banner sign word "terror."
That is what it inescapably was and might continue to be. ICE terrorized citizens. Full story. No possible grounds to dispute that. In the affluent city neighborhoods, and the overly white burbs, ICE was absent. But the terror, intentional terror, was real and hateful and Trumpian at its root. Trump wants terror felt at the lower economic levels, since his aim is to shit all over the most needly so he and his bums can enrich themselves and serve the aristocricy to have them liking his approach.
It is mean and calculated, and un-American. Long term, Trump is nationally and Internationally killing any and all respect the nation may have. Having put Trump into office the people are suspect. The band of cohorts who keep the lamebrained man going instead of meeting a twenty-fifth Amendment duty, because if they acted Trump's white supremecist base, feeling put upon while many own a cottege up north, and several snowmobiles, would stay home instead of being GOTV zombies as now is the case. While JD is congent, he's not the politician Trump is, and as a disagreeable human, JD needs Trump more than vice versa.
But Trump is now demented, and dangerous, since when sharper minded, he was still mean as hell. Demented, he's got the nuclear launch button where adults in the chain are needed to disarm that worry and instead, there is Hegseth.
Three more years, and then what? Can the Dems offer something real, as reforms and not promised steps which they have no intention of collectively taking if gaining the leadershp positions in Congress and the Eecutive? While the Republicans are beyond trust except for trust from the monied aristorcats whose wants are served by the Republicans, is it really any different with Democrat politicians when in power?
It seems to not be. Just marginally better mismanagement of government and aid to the wealthy and powerful who finance campaigns and get politicians paychecks.
