    We’re currently at the “Dancing in front of ICE is owning Trump” stage of liberal slacktivism.

      I don’t think that’s fair. Were the civil rights sit ins of the 60s liberal slacktivism? The non aggression makes the violent retaliation all the more stark. Sitting down and dressing like a frog aren’t a million miles apart in that regard. They’re both proving they’re not a threat and trying to highlight the violent response they’re receiving. Being dragged out of libraries, being tear gassed through a vent.

      At least they’re trying to do something.
