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”.
Nothing can happen until the November election.
No Kings needs to organize and flip every red seat they can. It seems likely the House will flip. It’s POSSIBLE (but unlikely) the Senate will flip.
If you do nothing until November they will spend that time making sure nothing happens in November: https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/house-passes-gops-sweeping-anti-voting-bill/
That’s just the way elections work. There’s no process for changing things midstream and the Democrats are not in power.
Once the election flips the House and possibly the Senate, then we can move forward.
The #1 thing people need to do before November is organize. Get people registered, get people to vote. Make it clear that the Republican party is intellectually, fiscally, and morally bankrupt.
November is too long of a wait
That’s the way politics works, you get another election and vote them out.
You’re not going to vote your way out of fascism. They’ll just refuse to seat any Democrat that gets elected. They did that for a month already and faced zero consequences for doing so.
No kings is dead. No ICE (or whatever) is gonna last a month. By October, there will be some sort of gestapo set up to disrupt elections. The post office already removed incoming timestamps for one reason—mail in vote suppression.
The future is crystal clear—I dunno how you fools keep talking about “next election” like this is going to ever end.
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.
So what specifically came from No Kings that we can call a victory?
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.
Organizing and voting is the action.
A revolution is a pipe dream, it’s not happening.
