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!

Look deeper. There have been underground resistance groups that have formed and taken action using new tech to organize and communicate.
With those tools and groups in place, and with their practice using them to organize group action, they are in a key position to lead more overt resistance operations going forwards... As well as provide guidance and support to other groups that form in other areas as they naturally will.
A similar get up to the underground railroads and zines of years past, that, in those days, provided platforms for organization, expansion, and brought up the historical resistance leaders we can still read about today.
Those leaders and actions don't just pop up and happen spontaneously, even though it may appear that way when you only read about them and the outcome of those events in history classes.
There's a whole process to the buildup that has often taken years, sometimes decades, but can now occur much quicker due to our modern resources.
When, or if, a time comes when the scales tip and people turn to more overt action, the systems needed to ensure they are noteworthy will already be in place, I assure you.
There's no need to rush it ATM.
Haste makes waste, as they say.
But there's always a breaking point, and we vary well may hit it.
