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!

It enrages me hearing and watching the people that passed.
This is getting more people active though working together in and out of state. We need big group buddy systems in place put too with everyone having firearms to deter threats.
By the end of all this we all will be working together way more than before being isolated from each other. So lot of good things will come from that
I'm working with like-minded family and friends to get them armed and trained on how to use their firearms. I'm thankful that I was taught all this years ago and can provide assistance to people I care about who want to be able to defend themselves.
We are all also being very loud about the atrocities being committed and are doing what we can to support and help one another, whether that be financially, by sharing different resources such as medical and mental health stuff, helping with groceries, or just lending and ear and shoulder to cry on. All we have is each other. Our leaders have abandoned the people and actively try to tear down any resistance.
I'm disabled and unable to go protest, so I do what I can to make a difference and fight the good fight. It isn't much, but I'm doing my best. If it comes down to it, if I need to hide people in my home because they're being hunted by the government, I'll be more than happy to provide refuge.
I love where I live, despite its flaws. It's a beautiful place and is my home. I don't want to leave it. I want to fight for it to become better.
