There is no alarm anymore…thr alarmable are alarmed. They will be for the next 4 years - or forever if it’s the nail in the democratic coffin. Those not alarmed yet are either uninterrested, too far gone, or very much aligned with anything alarming this administration will do.

In other words, we’re pretty fucked.

Mods on lemmy think we should sit back and take it.

Ok, I’m alarmed. Now what? Tell me exactly what to do and I’ll do it.

For legal reasons, I do not condone any form of violence whatsoever, and the Adjuster is, legally, a criminal who should not in any way be emulated. For legal reasons, I must dissuade you from engaging in any actions which disrupt ICE, and I must warn you that such interference is a crime.

That being the case, it’s legal, for now, to refuse to purchase and consume. Participate in local elections and organizations. Engage in mutual aid. Look up local buy-nothing groups. Organize using end-to-end encrypted comms - though note that, for legal reasons, this may cause interference with legal investigations, and that such interference may be considered a crime, and that, for legal reasons, many such acts of organizing may be deemed illegal in the near future. Please be aware of and follow all applicable laws.

Note that I am explicitly not condoning any illegal actions whatsoever, and am actively attempting to dissuade you from engaging in any such activities - please do not break any laws or commit any crimes. I am not in any way advocating violence, in accordance with Rule 6. I am saying that you should probably vote, and that it is important to always be aware of and follow all applicable laws.

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!
