In a surprise turn of events, even the most unlikely voices are speaking out against the actions of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). What was once seen as a partisan issue has suddenly become a matter of national concern.
From r/military, where a 21-year veteran of the U.S. Army weighed in on the brutality of ICE agents, to even the community of quilters on Instagram, who have decided enough is enough, it seems like the government's grip on public opinion is finally starting to slip.
Big names in the gaming world, such as Joe Santagato of The Basement Yard podcast, have joined the chorus of outrage, using their massive followings to call out those who still support Trump and ICE. Canadian wrestlers and social media influencers Chris and Patrick Vörös are also among those speaking out against the agency's actions.
Meanwhile, fitness influencers, duck-painting TikTokers, football subreddits, bourbon Instagramers, and even Second Amendment rights activists have all broken their silence on this issue. The only ones who seem to be remaining silent on social media are the 10 million followers of axe man Thoren Bradley, whose entire schtick revolves around chopping wood.
Musicians such as bbno$ have also decided to speak out against ICE's actions, putting his own U.S. tour at risk in order to support the abolition movement. Similarly, manufacturers like Drolo and Chase Bliss have come out in support of the people of Minneapolis, even if it may cost them some customers.
The National Basketball Players Association has also issued a statement condemning the actions of ICE, saying they stand "in solidarity with the people of Minnesota protesting and risking their lives to demand justice".
As this movement continues to gain momentum, one thing is clear - the government's stranglehold on public opinion appears to be weakening. The question now is whether this growing chorus of dissent will continue to put pressure on those in power.
It seems that even the creators who are usually known for staying out of politics have decided to take a stand against ICE. They are using their massive followings and platforms to bring attention to the horrific actions of the agency. It's only a matter of time before this becomes a major national conversation and forces politicians to address these issues head on.
In short, even those who were once seen as unlikely voices against ICE have finally broken their silence, and it seems like the tide is turning in favor of justice and equality for all Americans.

like i never think id see a day where gamers, fitness ppl, & quilters are all speaking out against ICE lol what happened 2 our country?! 
anywayz i thot it wuz cool 2 c people like Joe Santagato using his platform 2 speak out 4 justice its about time ppl from all walks of life spoke up 4 whats rite 
and yeah Thoren Bradley is just... u know, chopping wood 
meanwhile bbno$ & the NBA players association is straight fire 
i'm all 4 this movement lets see some real change happen 
. I mean, who would've thought that people from the quiltering community would be part of this movement? 
It just goes to show how strong our voices can be when we come together for a common cause 
.
, it's great to see creatives like musicians and manufacturers using their platforms to make a difference 
. It's about creating a more just society for everyone, regardless of their background or identity 
. Let's keep pushing for change and making our voices heard 
!
! It's amazing to see people from all walks of life coming together to speak out against @USICE's brutality 
. The fact that even gamers like Joe Santagato are using their massive followings to call out Trump supporters is a huge deal 
.
. I mean, who would've thought that axe-man Thoren Bradley would be the only one remaining silent on social media? 
. but seriously, its awesome 2 see creators from diff fields stand up 4 what they believe in. bbno$ putting his tour at risk 4 this movement? bravo 
. btw, who is thoren bradley tho? sounds like a total edgelord 
. It's crazy that even guys who make videos about chopping wood aren't getting paid to be silent on this issue lol 
. The thing that's really surprising is how many different groups are speaking out - it feels like we're seeing a real shift in the conversation around this issue. I'm not sure if it'll lead to actual change, but at least people are talking about it now 
. What do you think? Are there any issues where you feel like the public is being really silent or just going along with what's popular?
I'm not surprised though, people are getting tired of being silenced and oppressed. The fact that even gamers and fitness influencers are speaking out against ICE shows that this isn't just a partisan issue anymore. It's about human rights and basic dignity for all. bbno$ putting his tour on hold to support the abolition movement is a huge statement, and I hope more creators continue to use their platforms to amplify these voices 
.
. As the movement continues to build momentum, it's crucial for politicians to acknowledge these concerns and engage in meaningful dialogue 
. The fact that previously silent voices are now speaking out against ICE is a testament to the enduring power of grassroots activism 
.
. We need more everyday folks speaking out instead of just influencers & gamers. Also, can we talk about how much ICE has been under scrutiny for ages? Like, when did the silence turn into a collective roar? 
, but now they're using their massive followings to make a real difference. It's all about speaking truth to power, and these creators are doing just that 
. But seriously, it's amazing to see how quickly public opinion is shifting on this issue. I mean, who would've thought that axe man Thoren Bradley wouldn't be speaking out against ICE? 
, and it's only a matter of time before we're seeing some major changes 
That takes a lot of guts, fam. I'm all for using your platform to make a difference 
.
.
. The fact that ppl from all walks of life are speakin out against it shows that even the most unlikely people can make a difference when they stand up for what's right 
. It's time for politicians to listen & take action 
#ICEsucks 
And can we talk about how much courage it takes for people to risk their careers, tours, and even followers to speak up against something they believe in? bbno$ putting his tour on hold for the abolition movement is a HUGE statement. I love that these creators are using their platforms to make a difference - it's about time someone did!
. But seriously, it's heartening to see creators using their platforms to speak out against injustices and advocate for change. The momentum is definitely building here... can't wait to see how this plays out in the coming weeks/months! 
. But maybe this is just the push some politicians need to rethink things 
. Who knew gaming and quilting could be part of the same movement for change? But seriously, it's about time we see people from all walks of life coming together to fight for what's right 
. And I'm loving that these creators are using their massive followings to bring attention to this issue
