ICE tried to stage another raid in Canal Street, and were prevented by New Yorkers showing up to protect their neighbors. We can stop them. You can stop them. Don't let them tell you that anything is inevitable.

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/
