In relation to this, thinking about a new community for Political Activism. Calls to action, that kind of thing.

The rules would be super simple:

  1. Purpose is for protest organizing. [Country, City, State]

  2. Absolutely no calls for violent action.

  3. No links to fundraisers. Too rife for fraud and abuse. Stories about fundraisers would be fine, but no GoFundMes, etc.

Think there’s room for PolticalActivism?

    If they are going to blame untrained civilians when their split-second decisions are wrong, I’m not going to give trained personnel benefit of the doubt.

      She should have listened to the ICE agent and got out of her car. The ICE agent was not going to run her over with an SUV.

          That’s not how the rule of law works. Federal agencies don’t take orders from protesters, and enforcement can’t be contingent on who shouts the loudest. Noted Trump won the 2024 election, and the election has consequences. If you don’t like what ICE are doing, go ahead and try to win elections.
