Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

When do we take to the streets again?
2/17 at the capitol or your state capitol. Something like that
Who's coordinating this stuff? This is the first im hearing about this date.

Not the only thing being organized. There's obviously a difficult tension here between taking the time to organize stuff properly, and not waiting so long that Trump and his cronies have time to consolidate power.
While there seems to be some disagreement as to what happens on the 17th, it does seem to have been largely settled on as the first of multiple days of action. If nothing else, getting in contact with a group like this means you're in communication with the people who are trying to do something.
I wonder if that's why they rescheduled Luigi's trial?
Extremely unlikely. Trials get rescheduled all the time, it's absolutely routine.
I’m already questioning the judgement of the organizers of this strike given they have a Twitter feed right on the main page…get the fuck off Twitter you morons
Waiting for the organized resistance that ticks off every single one of your personal requirements is a really great way to sit on your ass doing nothing.
Jumping on every half-baked attempt at resistance is a really great way to waste time and energy
State capitols are a waste of fucking time. Go to DC
When hunger starts to kick in
