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”.

    Not sure what makes you think No Kings and 5051 are dead, they’re still going and will only get stronger as we get closer to election season.

    There will be a next election because elections are run at the state and local levels, the feds can’t stop it even if they wanted to.

        Organizing 7 million people to protest on the same day was a huge feat.

        To put that in perspective, the margin between Trump and Harris was only 2 million.

          And those seven Million people met and then went home… So what I’m asking for is…. what happened? Nothing. What were the gains? None.

          Because as far as I can tell, Trump—the self-proclaimed president of Venezuela—is going to take over another country pretty soon… Pretty sure that makes him a king.

            Getting people organized is the first step, getting them to actually vote is the second. That’s where we’re at in 2026.

            If they succeed in motivating people to vote out the Republicans, that’s all it takes.

              lol. Organization. Voting. Come November you’ll wish you sided with action—but it will be too late.

                  Oh sweetie, there is no revolution. Not with people who silence revolution controlling the conversation of the Internet.

                  The best you can hope for is to stay alive for the next 50 years during the Republican regime.

                    I’ve been alive through this before…

                    1969-1976
                    1981-1992
                    2001-2008
                    2017-2020
                    2025-2028

                    There have only been a few Democratic breaks:

                    1977-1980
                    1993-2000
                    2008-2016
                    2021-2024

                    It will likely flip back in 2028, but we have to flip the House back in 2026, ideally the House and Senate but that’s unlikely.
