Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

To head off the "What's the point" comments. Events like this bring people together. They make contacts and help with greater organization.
It also helps people remember that they aren't alone. In a world that appears to be designed to isolate people, these protests provide a counter.
These protests are great. We need more of them. Three No Kings protests to defend your freedom in a year is pathetic. They should be every day or at least every weekend. They're attacking your freedoms and killing people every day. You need to bring the same level of energy to defend it. If the best you can do is 3 afternoons a year you're going to lose.
Those people are either paid shills or permanent victims of life, either way, they are useless.
I'm so tired of these defeatest, naysaying keyboard warrior pukes shitting on these protest events.
These stupid fucks demand revolution but have absolutely zero concept of organizing or things taking time to execute.
They also won't be the ones fighting in a revolution. They're chocken-hawks eager to send others to die just like Trump
Always ask them "What's your plan?" That usually shuts them up or makes them admit they have no plans.
Their plan is to absolutely refuse to participate in any meaningful movement for change, and instead actively hinder it at every step.
They do this while also demanding a revolution that they themselves absolutely refuse to take part in whatsoever.
Basically, I just described every single .ml user.
Or they'll just deflect and insult you with strawmen, red herrings, and ad hominems...
Them people are for kings. They just pretend to not care, but in reality they are fighting on the same side as evil.
And it’s worked before. The protests largely helped end the Vietnam war. Women got the right to vote because enough people spoke up. The civil rights act was passed. Enough small ripples in the same direction can produce a crashing tsunami.
Mainly because those in charge cared about how it looked towards them. This adminstration doesn't give a flying fuck.
But they've all been quietly moving into military housing on bases just the same, something officials from past administrations rarely did, if ever.
Last fall it was Miller, Noem, and Rubio; earlier this month it was Pam Bondi, and that NYT article mentions that Hegseth and other highly-placed administration officials also have or are now moving house onto military bases.
It's interesting what giving a fuck can look like, once you let go of the idea it means a positive fuck. In fact, it almost looks like they're all hunkering down for an extended hate fuck from The American People.
It's an election year, and primaries are fast approaching...
And you think Nixon did?
The same people who say, "What's the point?' are the same people who say, "I don't know any leftists in my area. I don't know how to meet any any other "real" leftists irl".
If they went to local protests, they'd meet those other leftists. Networking absolutely occurs at these events.
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying
