No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Won't happen. While I think all this institutional resistance is good. All of the lawsuits and judge rulings should only be seen as a way meant to delay. Fascism is here. You don't unravel it using the existing institutions and systems.
Delay and prepare. Learn who all your neighbors are. Make sure you can contact all of them quickly and that they can contact you. Your neighbors and your coworkers are who you should be organizing with. Talk to them. Find out who might be a target by ICE. Find out which one of them you can't trust. And of course. Arm yourself.
Elons not getting arrested but we don't have to let them arrest us either. If there is no justice for Elon we can't allow anymore injustice to us.
He’s actively this second openly buying a Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin. I mean obviously nows the time to do it or never do it.
Nows the time to throw all the knives in the air.
Absolutely. And it has my full support. But he won't ever see any consequences. The system made to empower oligarchs isn't going to somehow tear down Oligarchs. But they are still absolutely worth doing as a form of resistance. I just don't yhink people should be naive to think that that is the only part of resistance. It's simply a method of delay to give us more time to organize.
There is only one thing throughout history that has brought people in Elon's class position to justice.

They gotta eat. Persona non grata.
He can always use his money and connections to run away, and leave America, and never return. I strongly encourage him to do that.
Then we can turn on Big Ballz and the Boys and take care of them next.
My neighbors literally called my landlord because I let my homeless cousin who lives in his van stay at my house because he had a stroke and they thought he was getting high in his van when he was just smoking cigarettes and sleeping.
I'm unemployed.
