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!

Yeah I know about the murders but what are Americans doing about THAT? And the fascism problem?! Why there isn’t a general strike happening right now - baffles the mind.
Another US American just tried to kill trump like last week
Should be more
It takes time to build parallel systems of support. Asking "WhY hAsN'T sOmEoNe DoNe SoMeThIng‽" From behind your keyboard is not helping those systems that are being built.
On that note: https://generalstrike2026.com/
Says on there that was for the last day of the last month (January).
They are currently planning the 2nd general strike... Minneapolis was nominated for the nobel prize precisely because of how effective their resistance has been and continues to be. There are thousands of private signal chats all over the state constantly organizing and responding directly to action on the ground. Your comment just seems like defeatist barely veiled concern trolling.
Let’s see. He’s still president despite blatantly defying court orders, mocking and firing anyone who doesn’t blindly support him, he destroyed a section of the WH, his private gestapo are murdering people in the streets, he’s all over the Epstein files, he’s earning money hand over foot in bribes, and operating concentration camps. And yet he remains in power Americans can’t muster a feasible resistance to the above. That’s hardly concern trolling.
The Republicans have all 3 branches of government. You're acting like because no one has a magic wand to waive this all away, that this means they have failed. Public opinion has swung heavily against Trump. 90% of ICE action seems to have ended in Minnesota. The resistance is winning in every way that it can. But defeatists will always point out what hasn't been accomplished, instead of what has. Factions of the left are more organized than at any point since Civil Rights. Millions of people across the country are mobilized and active in their communities. Every single day Trump is in office his opposition grows. This isn't nothing, stop acting like it is.
