Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

"B-but it takes so much time and effort!! Don't worry we'll be able to do something after 5 more years of doing this once every 6-12 months on the weekends when businesses are closed. We can let him keep murdering people like every other president does in the meantime."

If you think No Kings is the only resistance work happening right now in the U.S., you're really not paying attention.

Are their demands concrete?
Have they escalated their tactics?

[–] witten@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. And yes. Here's one example of resistance work in the U.S. resulting in concrete wins: Avelo Airlines used to run deportation flights for ICE. They were on the receiving end of an escalating pressure campaign from resistance groups to end those flights. And guess what? They finally did.

Feel free to join a resistance group working on that. There are many to choose from.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Oh really? SimpleX me active ones.

[–] witten@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I don't have SimpleX. The best resistance groups to join are probably ones local to wherever you're located. See this comment for ideas on how to find them. But here are some examples of local efforts.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 2 hours ago

Thanks.

Seems these groups are not clear what more steps are necessary for Nazi liberation.

Nah it'll just be like "The day the world said no to war" which is often held as a massive achievement in nonviolent protesting despite it accomplished fuck all.
