This is an emergency!!! All hands on deck, Trump just arrested a sitting judge because he didn’t like her ruling. We must quickly organize and then ACT.

According to this source she should have been before a judge about an hour ago but I cannot find any information confirming that.

We need to get loud and we need to do it now. Contact your representatives. This is a direct attack on democracy.

The following post EMERGENT is being posted over and over again in r/50501. I have nothing to do with any of the organizing formally, informally, or otherwise and have no idea what's going on other than the information that is being publicly shared.

I did want to take a moment to explain briefly why non-profits, trademarks, and PACs are important though. Non-profits as both 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) provide a formal legal entity that can hold assets (like money) and conduct activity (like pay for materials or pay for legal services). 501(c)(3)s are one of the ways we organize. It's also important to remember that 501(c)(3)s are actually prohibited from being political. 501(c)(4)s are similar to 501(c)(3)s, but donations to them can not be tax deductible, however they are allowed to engage in political activities, like writing legislative proposals and lobbying elected representatives to effect change. And if you want to take in funds to run a campaign to elect certain people to office that is where a PAC would come in to play.

These are formal organizing tools that have been used in social movements consistently going all the way back to the civil rights movement. They are not bad or a determent to organizing. They are how people organize formally. It is also worth remembering that Labor Unions are a type of non-profit, as are Churches. They are a vehicle with a purpose and anyone can form one, they just have legally prescribed purposes and bounds for how they can act.

But then could just anyone form a non-profit and call themselves the same thing to confuse people and potentially tarnish the work you're doing? Maybe.. The way you legally protect your brand and your logos and keep them from being used in an unintended way is through trademark. If you have an image or insignia that is ubiquitous with your organization then you want to trademark it so that someone else doesn't use it for unauthorized purposes (like a false flag violent action).

None of these things are harmful and are tools to facilitate openness and accessibility and movement building if governed in that fashion. An example everyone should be familiar with is Open Source License, which is how and why "freeware" is free and available to distribute and change. It is licensed for that purpose and protects from someone stealing it to license for-profit.

These are tools for organizing in the light and out of the shadows. It should be transparent who is running these, who owns the trademarks (which can be found through the trademark office), and how they are being run. Bylaws for non-profits should be available for inspection as should financial records. And the bylaws would dictate how people are elected or appointed to run these organizations.

Given the times the people who are taking charge of this are taking on serious risk because this is organizing in the light. People associated with these are volunteering to become targets. I don't know the background as to how things were formed or what level of coordination occurred. But just keep in mind that those involved with these are known, they can not be anonymous. For those that organize in the shadows or on twilight's edge, these structures are not the enemy, they are a different parallel method. As long as everyone is fighting for the same goal we should all have solidarity.

Announcement? (r.50501.chat)
submitted 1 day ago by FiftyFiftyOne to c/Mirror
 

**my other post was just removed. censoring isn’t good for the movement either.

So EVERYONE can see what was said directly by fungi himself.

“I was laying in bed, I don't remember if I was even clothed or not. We were in bed, at night. She said my hand was on my genitals. That's it. But that made her uncomfortable - and she wanted to talk about it - my mistake at that point was talking about the wrong phone call, when I knew for sure I was just playing with my pants because my hands are always fidgeting.

I even remember her saying at the beginning that it might not even be anything but she wanted to talk about it.

I've realized from that (and I have done this in the past as well) that I can get fixated on the wrong thing and the conversation becomes about the wrong thing at that point. Rather than discussing the actual thing that she wanted to discuss.

Even here, for all I know I was just scratching myself. I have no idea. We never got to that. But now I'm a predator? Really? No... I'm not playing the victim either. It was a dumb situation that destroyed an important relationship in my life.

I have no idea what it was I was even doing because we never got to even talk about whatever it was exactly that I did. There's no big conspiracy there. There's a broken relationship over both of our issues with communication when it's a tense conversation.

This then turned into things like me opening doors for her, which makes her feel like she's helpless. I've opened doors my whole life for others. I never intended for that to make her feel bad or helpless in any way whatsoever. I did it out of respect and because that's what I've always done.

But my intentions did not matter to her, and I accept that's her right.

My struggle in the conversation then became with how to create rules in my head for when it's ok, and when it's not ok. She said as long as it's not performative bullshit it's fine. I looked up what would constitute performative actions, and that became even more confusing. These are the things we ended up arguing over.

There were a dozen such things that started piling onto the conversation. It was two neuro divergent people having their first ever argument and we had no guidelines in place for how to communicate when things are tense.

That's all. So I should hand over the subreddit to a PAC and a Non Profit because of that?”

We want transparency as to what happened regarding the sexually inappropriate incident that happened with fungi that he admitted to in his since deleted comments. No one can post on the 50501 main subreddit. This is such a mess.
