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!

Unelected shadow government leader Elon Musk ramped up his attack on the U.S. judiciary on Thursday by expressing support for a Republican impeachment effort targeting one of the federal judges who blocked the Trump administration's destructive funding freeze.

Reading these headlines really just makes you want to go ape shit.

Isn't the 50 state protest in just a few days? On the 17th.

Still a lot of people don't know about it. We should also post flyers on the streets on lampposts etc to get large numbers not just on Reddit.

This is the first I've heard about it and I'm chronically online and leftist.

Social media. I know the major platforms are compromised, but even it getting silenced would get more eyes on it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Why not do social media as well as in public places? We want a large number of people to show up.

[–] Sanctus 10 points 1 day ago

Yes. Go to it. Theres more too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Okay, wake me up when people are ready to go ape shit instead of thinking the system will save them.

I wonder if we’re gonna get to the point where judges and governors have to raise their own armies to protect themselves from Trump and then start a little mini wars with each other… terrifying future I didn’t predict

Each governor was the sole leader of their state's national guard until good ole dubya fucked that up in 2007, so no telling what they can do now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Was thinking about the national guard. Thing is, we don't know how much money governors have hidden, in offshore and other assets.

Musk is such great cover to the in my opinion villain Stephen Miller.
