1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Yeah, but now is better than never.
God knows Trump wouldn’t authorize it.
As long as we draw breath it ain’t over.
Get out there and organize.
Well, a network of likeminded people won’t just find you. It’s something you’ve gotta seek out.
Look for local non-profits and political groups that advocate for the positions you care about and get involved.
also there's a difference between an imperfect coalition and a compromised coalition. you may not be religious, but the organizations closest to you might be religious. it's far better to talk with open minded elca lutherans than close minded patriot front goons about what to do next. understand that there are many kinds of fascist and many kinds of anti-fascist. even the deepest red counties have people who who voted for harris because they have seen firsthand the dangers of christofascism. project 2025 is deeply unpopular and a disturbing number of people still don't realize that voting for trump and against project 2025 was not and is not an available ballot option.
here's the thing: this will never be over. not until the entire world over is free. every rise of authoritarianism has given us stories of heroes who resisted. you can hear their echos all throughout religious stories, songs, and secular media. they all tell us the same things: as long as we make art to pass down to the children, no authoritarian can ever rule forever, not even the ur-farscist, the political strongman who crops up every 80 years to lie to us about how he will free us.
right now, start telling the word truths about itself in places the right wing doesn't know how to reach. writing by hand in a journal, creating poetry, singing songs, writing in the streets with chalk. these are all things you can do while you're still looking for someone to organize with that help pass on the truth of the world to future people.
also, look for marginalized people in your community. they have been living with this terror all along. they know:
in other words: they are veterans of this 10k year long war. they have inherited stories you have never heard, and they still have hope even as things get worse for them.
i believe in you, and i believe in the power of everlasting peace, one where there's room for everyone at the table and everyone gets a plate before anyone gets seconds
Also people can't afford to miss a day of work and their employers are just waiting to fire them in support of their false God.
Imagine being so completely neutered as a proletariat that your idea of emergency grassroots organizing is geared towards expanding nato
patriotic socialism is literally nazism
Have you seen what Russia does to people who organize? You get vanned lol
I'm half expecting that to become reality in America
Just organize with some 2nd Amendment on standby.
Time for those 2A proponents to step up.... oh.
No, I think your message is spot on. We'll weather Trump, if a bit worse for the wear. We survived a literal civil war, we'll survive him.
The 2A solution is when there's no hope of peace. You really don't want them to remove the last option.
The 1st is so people can talk and work through differences. When he only thing left is to use the 2nd, nothing will put the Republic back together the same way.
If Congress, Supreme Court, or the Executive find a way to close the 2nd Amendment down. Then there's no way for the people to fight against complete Tyranny when the time comes.
Home-grown insurgencies nearly always win. The US has never been able to win against them, just like Israel can't win against Palestine. Insurgencies can only be negotiated with and always stop once freedom or rights are acknowledged.
Oh no, one missile went astray and hit Mar-a-Lago. OH NO WE"RE SO SORRY
