Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Less than 5% of possible voters as a best case scenario in a peaceful protest... Will be entirely ignored.
Fascists will always ignore protests. The point isn’t that the protests themselves will change things, the point is to organize now so that when violence becomes more widespread, resistance groups already exist and can effectively recruit partisans.
This coup isn’t going to end peacefully. It’s time we start realizing that and preparing ourselves to fight.
I can see the value in practice makes perfect, but I still think everything will just be ignored, as they can continue to act via pure policy without obstruction.
Yet here you are
Well, didn’t hit 5%, so time to go home everyone. Many thanks to lemming6969 for letting us know so we don’t waste our time.
Yes but if those same people get on board for a general strike... Suddenly everyone will have to listen.
I understand the Saturday protest mentality right now. We can't all take a weekday off to see if somebody shows up downtown to protest, but we can meet up on a Saturday to stir the pot and make connections with each other. Strikes take a lot to organize and we don't really have labor unions anymore.
I trust, then, that you got out there to add yourself to the numbers? The next big day is May 3. What are you doing to increase these numbers so we can surpass the 5% mark?
