More than a thousand protests are planned across the US this Saturday and Sunday after ICE agents shot three people, one fatally, in Minneapolis and Portland, Oregon, 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”.

For the ICE Out for Good weekend of action, events are planned in every corner of every state, from Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, to Machias in eastern Maine. Indivisible, one of the groups behind last year’s No Kings protests, is continuously updating its online tracker to note every vigil, rally and protest. Other coordinating groups include the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Day Laborer Organizing Network and the 50501 movement.

“We demand justice for Renee, ICE out of our communities and action from our elected leaders,” said Greenberg. “Enough is enough.”

      Do you think because they are nonviolent protests you are not going into a Palantir database that is categorizing you based on Peter Thiel wanting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment and therefore trying to tee up global collapse so he can be a technofuedalist king who will not hesitate to just blacklist someone because they showed up for an event against the fascism he wants for himself? And at that point there are no laws to what “blacklist” means, even worse than “Deny, Deport, Disappear”?

        I’m just suggesting living your life in the kind of fear op suggests would lead me to not even protest. They can put me in their database because I don’t want to live in a world that is not only this bad but you can’t even peacefully protest it.

        I think a comment like that encourages people to stay home and we should definitely be doing the opposite. EVERYONE should be in that fucking database. Can’t deport or kill everyone.
