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 only thing that can topple the oligarchy at this point is a general strike. The economy would collapse in a month if a relatively small percentage of the population simply refused to work and stopped buying everything except food.
You want universal healthcare? You’d have it in 1-2 weeks if 20-40% of the population stopped working and consuming non-essentials.
The oligarchs lose all their power when the workers stop feeding their wealth. They can strong arm protesters out in the streets, but they can’t strong arm millions of people chilling at home.

Good luck to them having the same laws in 2028, I guess. I agree it won’t happen without union coordination.
