Old news, but prescient since the Trump administration is blustering about criminalizing journalism.

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!

Not militias by any actual definition in the US.
Organized militias = National Guard/Air National Guard
Unorganized militia = every able-bodied man of at least 17 and under 45 years of age, who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia. These are militia that are under control of the State Governors.
In all cases a militia is under the auspices of government, it's not random jerkoffs playing milsim shooting targets with turbans on them on the woods. Those are armed paramilitary groups at very, best, domestic terrorists at worst.
As far as i know, militias are a bunch of armed people that come out of destroyed buildings, when you are playing against Poseidon in Age of Mythology.
It's like, why are you attacking me now😒
You should've defend the buildings before i brought them down.
AoM reference gets a +1 from me, always
Greek villager: Malista!
There are far right despotic dissident right extremists paramilitary militias, those unfortunately exist, the legitimate organized militias are the army/air national guard unit, naval militias
How do we fight these fuckers? Start naming any right wing radicals you know personally along with addreses? I'm on limited budget. But I want to help expose these fucks
