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!

Didn't even know this was happening... I would have gone if I knew. How does one even get information on protests? They seem to be heavily suppressed.

I just googled it after the last one. Honestly though, I saw a lot less coverage on this one. I'm surprised that it was bigger.

It’s not too late to join - No Kings has more events coming up.

In the meantime, your wallet is your strongest voice in the eyes of this administration. Think carefully about where you spend your hard earned money. A single day of avoiding Walmart and Amazon is not meaningful if you give them your money tomorrow.

Find local businesses that deserve your money and spend your money with them instead. Buy less and buy better quality items that last longer. Reduce consumerism and give homemade gifts or experiences instead of more junk nobody needs. Use lending libraries, swap groups, and other methods to reduce your contribution to the economy, which is frankly the only thing your government cares about.

You need to change your media diet. Here are a few recommendations:

  • If you're into news sites, then add a few that have a little more "independent" coverage: E.g., The Guardian.
  • If you're into social media, then you need to go out of your way to subscribe to local resistance groups and/or individuals that cover local protests.
  • If you're interested, get involved with your local resistance groups! Do a search for "Indivisible" + [name of your city] as a place to start. This could mean going to meetings or it could be as easy as keeping up with a Signal thread.
  • Find sites that cover local protests. Example: Mobilize. This is also a good way to find local resistance groups; look for protests and then look for the groups that are organizing them.

The bottom line is that you're going to have to do a tiny bit of work to get plugged in to the resistance. Once you do, the protests and actions you care about will show up on your radar.

Nokings.org is the site I went to. I just keep an eye on their site and check it like once a week to see if anything is happening in my area

I got a warning from uBlock when visiting your link. Perhaps you meant nokings.org ?

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I did. I'll fix the comment now

[–] discocactus@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

Nokings.org ? You do have to look for it. Not going to show up on your Instagram feed...

We seriously need a countrywide and also even individual online real-time communities for states and cities focused on getting things done together.

Especially to inform each other on when these events are

I know many people who would have gone including myself.

Keep getting more people active, and most importantly connected with each other in-person and online. We all got this!! First we need to better connect!

Edit: Stoat, and Matrix are ideal for the platforms to build up these online 3rd spaces
