I've been thinking about this a lot recently. I'm sure a lot of you have. For my part, I've been finally writing down my political experience, what I saw, etc...in a way that I think might be able to move some people on the right. But I also agree with this post. People always talk/write, etc...and rarely actually take action.

So, with that in mind, can we talk about what that looks like? Very specifically?

I suppose I'm hoping we can go a step beyond "go protest," having unanimously agreed that we should all be out en masse to make it clear we're pissed about...well...kinda everything.

But this is a fairly radical bunch. So, what do you all know about this? What concrete advice/tips/plans/ideas can we dumbass individual Americans learn from historic examples, political movements, etc...? Indeed, one of those questions might be: is this even the place to talk about this? If not, where? Does that already exist somewhere in the aether out there? Communications is always an interesting to me (I've wondered whether something like LoRa could be useful to setup in my area).

If I want to start a group locally, are there things I should think about? Practical tips beyond "talk to everyone you know?" Books to read? Etc...? Even if you get a group, it's easy for it to mean nothing. How do you make it not mean nothing?

I can't access CNN, BBC, CBSNEWS, and others. Seems to persist across multiple devices and others in household also having issue.

Anyone else?

Just seems weird that I'm not seeing any news about it. Is it likely connected to the Microsoft Outlook issue? I just don't see how?

It seems like I constantly see "X secure messaging option is actually bullshit because it was purchased by Dr. Evil and Y is actually just e-mailing your messages directly to Xi Jinping."

Is there an authoritatively "best" one I can just...download and setup easily? Is Signal good? Or do I need to solder a Raspberry Pi to the flux modulator of my home Linux NAS GUI, etc...?
