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.

Yes if you get out and protest. https://www.mobilize.us/
Protesting is illegal in this country.
Edit: To the downvoters, remember Mahmoud Khalil? That was 3 weeks ago.
Sounds like we should protest more
You should be doing more than merely protesting.
Our enemies get to set the context of any actions we take, so protests can be safely ignored.
Anything that has a chance of succeessfully shifting public opinion can be defused by talking heads calling peaceful protests "lawless" and associating them with national enemies.
Political power is measured by the capacity for violence, the number of people who would kill or die to achieve any given goal. Luigi accomplished more with three bullets than protests have achieved in this country for the last 30 years.
Oh of course we have to be doing more. Just like the recent movements, first few steps involve protesting. Sad thing is as I’m out here protesting, I’m not seeing the other millions of people that need to speak out. We need to be heard, not be negative and give up without trying.
I'm not giving up in the slightest. My opinion is that we should put our effort where it can be most effective, and given the mass media environment, peaceful protest can be rendered inert by simply not covering the story.
The first 50501 protest drew a purported 72,000 people at 67 events across the country, but hardly anybody seems to know that even occurred.
Provocateurs injected into BLM burned down a police station to discredit it as a peaceful movement and streisanded it so hard that people still think that police departments in California actually got defunded over it.
When peaceful protest have been criminalized, activists have nothing to gain by keeping their protests peaceful.
It’s not signalgate. It’s whiskeyleaks. The flaw was that the combined IQ of everyone in the group chat (excepting Goldberg himself) doesn’t even break into triple digits.
