  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Protest and elect. Emphasis on protest.

  1. Get as involved as you can with activist efforts locally.
  2. Organize, network, focus on building solidarity.
  3. Vote at primaries for the most progressive candidate.
  4. Don't punch down
  5. Don't punch left.

if you are at a protest and the police are not instructed to intervene, you know that the protest is performative. bring allot of people with guns. a protest is only as effective as the leverage it demands.

Protests are an opening offer.

If you aren't willing to escalate, then they're meaningless.

Protests are also networking events, where you show the public that opposition exists and is welcome to new members.

We started as five people in a rural coffee shop last year, and now we're over 100, with the majority of the new members joining at protest events after saying "Oh wow, I've been commuting because I didn't think there would be resistance here!"

All important, but those last two are key to enabling the rest imo
