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!

Holy Cow!
I live in a rural area, surrounded by staunch conservatives. It's isolating at times.
But today? It was incredible to see how many people showed up for our small town rally. Hundreds of people who feel the way I do about the direction this country is being taken. And it's a breath of fresh air. Hard to feel alone when I talked to dozens and dozens of people today who want the same thing I want ... NO KINGS.
Almost as refreshing? Almost no hostility shown to us. I saw a few middle fingers. One lame-ass truck drove by and tried to "roll coal". It was pitiful. My lawnmower smokes more than that. Overwhelmingly, it was cars driving by beeping and waving and smiling at us. Felt the love.
Realistically, though, these events are our practice runs. It's where the people are learning to exercise their rights. Lots of folks are rusty. Even more of us are just now attending our first protest ever. It's also local people learning how to organize and build community. For a lot of those folks, this is their first time organizing events for hundreds or thousands of people. It's a daunting task. They deserve recognition, too.
Next steps: Did you see any local organizations today like I did? Did you see who organized your local No Kings? Reach out to them. Offer help. Offer feedback. Send donations. Sign-up. Register. Follow their socials. Blah, blah, blah. You know the drill.
"my lawnmower smokes more than that."
What a bop, thank you for that
