Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
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.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
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.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
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.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Effective: “Today I am calling for the immediate arrest and trial of agents involved in the murders and abuses of state citizens”
Ineffective: “please leave”
Ineffective: "please leave"
Also ineffective: "I call for X"
Effective: "I will be funding and giving media access to local self-defense groups, worker organizing, and mutual aid orgs. The threat comes from the state apparatus and the only way it can be defeated is by grassroots organizing"
What are you doing?
One of the primary goals of grassroots organizing is to take power. Walz already has the power. He should wield the state power against the federal government.
doesnt look like has interest into doing anything, then just repeating words like schumer and jefferies just for the sake of political points. he isnt even re-running for ree-lection he has little to lose, buts hes shilling like he needs to be re-elected. i wouldnt be surprised if someone dropped a big check in back account right after this.
I mean, maybe.
In Walz' case, I don't necessarily think it's money. I don't think a bribe is necessary, it's just a cultural expectation among DNC politicians that you must be limp, ineffective, meek, weak-willed, civil to a near suicidal degree, and ambitionless.
But, those virtues ultimately come from the (corporate) consultants anyway, and I'm not much interested in defending Walz right now either, so fuck it. May as well be fucking bribed.
I'm not in the US, but I'm already militant in such organizations in my home country.
I'm sorry, I meant what are you doing in this comment section. As in, "what are you trying to accomplish."
[edit] Also, I'm just going to assume these are good organizations: Right on, man. I'm glad you're out there helping your fellow people.
We will, at the very least, find out immediately which side the army will fall on.
The second they confront or lock up the 'federal agents' The army will be called in. The administration want tanks on the streets, a show of power.
