No, it’s happening everywhere. But I’ve also seen some significant resistance happening in other cities like NYC, Newark, Portland, Chicago, Seattle, SF, etc.
Mass protests where people did nothing in particular. That is, in fact, not resistance. People in LA are actually making it harder for ICE to terrorize them.
A mass protest, in and of itself, is not “nothing”.
It is. What happened on June 14th was technically a mass protest, but it has none of the aspects that make a mass protest effective. In essence, that wasn’t a protest; it was a parade. They can, in theory, be used as a launching point for something more effective, but on their own? Yeah, nothing.
You haven’t noticed the National Guard and Marines being deployed there?
Okay and? They were deployed because ICE wasn’t able to do their jobs, and even now they’re suffering widespread harassment and obstruction. Not getting backlash because you did nothing isn’t the flex you think it is.
Is it me or is LA the only part of America doing anything resembling resistance?
I think it’s mainly LA that is seeing a large invasion of federal forces

I would argue the opposite. You haven’t noticed the National Guard and Marines being deployed there?
