ICE Out for Good vigils and rallies are being tracked online by Indivisible, the group behind the No Kings protests
More than a thousand protests are planned across the US this Saturday and Sunday after an ICE agent killed US citizen Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis this week.
“This weekend, people all over are coming together not just to mourn the lives lost to ICE violence, but to confront a pattern of harm that has torn families apart and terrorized our communities,” said Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible, an organizer of “ICE Out for Good Weekend of Action”.
General strikes and Civil disobedience won’t work now?
Kinda running out of options that don’t involve guns bud.
Oh gotcha you’re just not even wanting to try anything at all. Thanks for clearing that up.
Are they happening now? Or is everyone having another “We Don’t Like Trump Convention” for a weekend before they clean everything up nicely and go home in time to be at work on Monday?
Are you doing anything other than judging others online? You are welcome to organize something.
But in context of the conversation they said that the methods used during the civil rights movement wouldn’t work now. Those methods were general strike and civil disobedience. Hence why I was asking why the commentator thought they wouldn’t work today
Fucking Americans. “Why isn’t somebody else doing this for us?”
Ah so you’re not even American and are basically only familiar with what you get from the news or lemmy.
No I don’t expect you to come here and fix things. Better?
Also totally ignoring what the original context was. So cool
No one is general striking. All to afraid to loose health care.
Again, you only see picket signs vs bullets.
I must not be willing to try ANYTHING because I disagree with you. Despite me saying otherwise this whole time.
Like I said, clutch you picket signs and block your ears.
Have the day you fought for 💋

You’re both right, but seems like you’re both just trying to prove the other wrong. Keep protesting, keep showing up, but imagine how much more effective it would be if those protesters were armed. Openly armed. You don’t even need to bring ammo, just make it clear that the left - that most Americans can fight too.
We’re probably not voting our way out of this, we’ll just vote it back into the shadows. ICE has been around for decades, surveillance state for decades, broken police system for centuries (?), liberal/neoliberal economy for decades, our government more and more a plutocracy for decades which has held the monopoly on violence.
Solutions via option A or B would be great, but the threat of option C must be on the table. If you’re holding a gun and I’m holding a sign, then we aren’t negotiating on equal footing.
Truthfully I feel like I gave them the opportunity several times to state their alternatives. They refused and just said it’s impossible
You never asked me for another option. You told me there were no other options. You refuse to entertain anything. I’m not a troll just because I disagree with you.
