50501 General

RFS' mission is to recruit and support diverse, progressive Democrats age 40 and under, running for the first or second time in local and state races. You can learn more about our endorsement criteria here: https://runforsomething.net/run/candidate-endorsement-process/

Public comment period is open until the 17th. You can do so anonymously. The Trump admin has backed down from some fights when enough push back occurred, so don't think this is hopeless. The chance of success is never zero. It's minimal effort, so worth a try even if for no other reason to make them the think about slowing down future attacks

(The ACLU is also suing about this in court too)

Can we get a community for Canada?

Find protests locations and times at the link above. Here are some of their flyers:

Twitter was replaced by this website for a couple of minutes. In the website, it states that it's purpose is to fight the fascism plaguing America, and lists helpful info/resources on protesting, OPSEC, and evil groups assisting with Trump's agenda. It even mentions 50501 and Tesla Takedown within the resources.

This was popular in 2017 and 2018, and is even more relevant today.

Keep resisting.

The title of this community is "general". When people do a community search on "50501", it will not show up in the search results. Can we please rename this to "50501" or even "50501 - General"?

With a likely increase of people here from Reddit, might be helpful to use this to offer a old.50501.chat domain so people have something familiar

See what it looks like on some instances:

How Hitler used hate to gain power and that its not worth it to fall for hate. Worth a watch, you can even do a movie night on it maybe, its scary.

Response to https://50501.chat/post/12085

I'd say that we should not mirror Reddit comments if our comments will not be mirrored to the subreddit. It will not allow for Lemmy users to give their thoughts on the sub's posts because it would be hard to find Lemmy comments. But afaik, the mirror only saves posts for 15 to 30 days? With that restriction, it might be slightly pointless to not mirror comments.

I would like to be able to cooperate with the people on Reddit, but it might not be a good idea to mirror Lemmy posts/comments either because Reddit might crack down on it. Hoping for screencaps though.

If you wanted to see comments from Reddit, you could go to Reddit directly or use a privacy front-end like Redlib. (If you are gonna use that, I'd recommend the LibRedirect add-on!)

Thank you for this! I've been wanting to contribute to the movement, but Reddit won't let me post with a VPN. :<

Could you put the announcement post back up at Reddit? I don't think many people noticed it, I'd like the Lemmy instance linked in the fiftyfifty.one website too.

Select between whether to mirror the comment from /r/50501 subreddit or just have our own comments here

EDIT: Due to the results of the poll—comments are not posted now to encourage local lemmy comments.
