Summary
Thousands protested in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday against a surge in ICE raids under President Trump’s administration.
Demonstrators marched from Olvera Street to City Hall before blocking lanes on the 101 Freeway, leading to major traffic disruptions.
The California Department of Transportation confirmed freeway closures, while LAPD reported gridlock across key streets.
Trump has intensified deportations since taking office, prompting widespread demonstrations in major cities. Authorities have yet to confirm arrests or further enforcement actions.
The UAW’s working on one, but they’re targetting 2028 to get around solidarity strike laws.
We need unions to spearhead one, trying to organize a general strike without union backing is doomed to fail because it’s basically impossible to organize enough people without structures protecting them.
Good luck to them having the same laws in 2028, I guess. I agree it won’t happen without union coordination.
