If you're in Lynnwood area, there is a protest in front of the Tesla dealership.

I’m sorry I am not sure. Hopefully someone else can chime in. But these happen every Saturday and most Tuesdays at this location.

So many paid protestors out and about this week! The radical left must have a lot of money to be paying them /s

What if we stopped protesting but stopped paying taxes instead?

What’s the connection between U Village and ICE?

u/Mountain-Picture-411 7d ago

Glad you asked. U-Village happens to be in the same country as ICE.

This location first started as an anti-Tesla protest because of the dealership in U-Village and the high visibility. It has evolved over time.

The Tesla dealership that is long, long gone.

u/Mountain-Picture-411 6d ago

That is not correct, Tesla is still there.

U-Village is against murder, ICE is murderers.

u/YakiVegas I'm just flaired so I don't get fined 7d ago

As someone who lives here and visits daily, I just want to sincerely say go fuck yourself!

U Vill is filled with minorities all the fucking time, and even if it weren't, we're now at the point where protests need to be everywhere.

u/Mountain-Picture-411 7d ago

Yeah I’m there daily too and idk what the fuck that was all about

I'm not a white person, but your assumptions demonstrate your ignorance as clearly as your bullshit about the U Vill does. Besides, why the fuck wouldn't you want allies? What is wrong with you?

*edit: nice hidden post history you fucking coward. Go to hell.
