Amidst the dark chaos, we got a "masterclass in effective resistance" this week when former NFL punter Chris Kluwe rose in a California city council meeting to decry a dumb, unctuous proposed plaque that spells "MAGA," which he deemed "explicitly a Nazi movement." As the packed room cheered, he dec...

    None of these articles are telling me what I need to know. What happened after the arrest? Did they approve this plaque? Is it still up for debate?

      It’s Huntington Beach. They approved the shit out of that plaque and then goose stepped out of the meeting.

        Might work better to apply for an equivalent plaque stating MAGA are Nazis and make them justify the No in court

          I’m beyond thinking that the court system is going to save us.

      Are you asking because you’ve memorized the speech and wanna give them a second helping of badassery?

      I’ve read (and have no idea what to google to find a source so take my thoughts here with a heaping grain of salt) that it’s not the hardest to be the “first” person to stand up. It’s hardest and most important to find the second. After people see the second, it’s much more likely to snowball. Some assholes would pucker SO HARD if there was a follow up.

          That almost made me cry. Seriously, it’s a snowball effect. Think about it in the opposite way. If I was in a crowd of people and someone yelled “Seig Heil!” and made a Nazi salute I would probably yell at and ridicule them, but if two or three more followed and suddenly hundreds are chanting it I’d be scared as fuck even though I’m one Aryan looking dude. Protests are important but they need to feel tension. Then it becomes fight or flight and whatever long-term plans they had just go out the window.

    Why does fighting voter ID laws seen like an own-goal?

      Because this voter id law is designed to disenfranchise women and trans people.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That’s all the rules!
