Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.

That's all the rules!

If you are attending protests today - take pictures of the crowds. Discuss with someone who isn't going to upload them to social media. Send the pictures immediately. Take video! Livestream! People need to know they are NOT alone.

If you aren't going to participate IN the protests - record them. Take pictures. Get the pictures from your friends protesting and get them on the fediverse, social media.

We all have a part to play. Fascism depends on silence, ignorance, and isolation. Communication is a powerful weapon against it.

The revolution will not be incentivized

There's plenty of incentive, what the fuck

That's likely the solution--if the media won't do it's job, the people will have to do it for them. Luckily nearly everyone has cameras nowadays, so that's a start

That's why they destroyed twitter and are attempting currently to do the same to reddit.

The Ukrainian revolution was live streamed.

So thats something like 84 protests per day. I really wonder what march looked like tho, im expecting there to be a pretty sharp upturn in the curve. Still this is not that much considering the situation.
