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”.

    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.

        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.

                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.

                  JFC, that’s the solution? Wait 10 months and hopefully flip house but probably not the Senate?

                  Then everything returns to the stagnant status quo that resulted in this situation in the first place. Dems continue to be toothless, Republicans continue to prevent anything from happening, continue to face zero consequences, and are further emboldened to go even further next time because why the fuck not? Either they succeeded in the fascist takeover or nothing happens and they just try again.

                  That’s the best you can hope for?

                    That’s the only recourse short of a revolution or a civil war which would be 1000x more destructive.
