RE violence at anti-ICE protests, here is one Substack-er - 'bad cattitude' (AKA El Gato Malo)'s - point of view:

"the whole point is to act badly, provoke reaction, and then act as though the reaction were the story, that self-defense is aggression, and that those trying to clean up your mess or deal with your violence are the mess making bad guys.

"you “lead with sympathetic characters” (like women and children) and you “play to the audience who isn’t there.”"

And:

"the whole point is to be so provocative and violent that only violence can serve to resist or constrain it, then they call you violent."
