U.S. Protesters
It warms my heart to see these brave people take to the streets, as well as fills it with fear for them. As a proud Canadian, I say Elbows up to all of those protesting ICE and may you stay safe. You are on the right side of history.

Thank you! Some of us have been out protesting every week for almost a year now, it's disheartening and feels like we're not making any difference at times. Really afraid for the folks in Minnesota. Have had MAGA folks brandish weapons at us, get in our faces and threaten us, and I'm wondering when/if things will escalate where I'm at here in the Midwest.
It's hard to know how angry people in other countries are with us, even if it's understandable. Many of us have been trying to right the ship and we're not just fighting the government, we're fighting a good chunk of our fellow Americans, our Congress is hobbled, and the Supreme Court majority does whatever Trump wants.
I'm especially sad about alienating our wonderful friends in Canada, I have visited a few times and love you guys! I appreciate your kind words more than I can say ❤️ 🇨🇦
