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!

Ooo I get to say the thing!
Edit: (so you'll understand what praxis is)
Ah, theoretical revolution. The most effective kind.
Read it. But a few million comrades living out actual solidarity and comradeship, joining mutual aid coalitions, feeding unhoused people and refusing consumerism still isn't affecting the systems of hierarchy and oppression, monopolization of violence, rules of place, terror, and exploitation. The quiet Revolution in the homes of families and certain workplaces, some scattered neighborhoods and the hearts and minds of comrades around the nation still isn't stopping the cops from dragging us to the camps, the landlords evicting us, and the employers squeezing us. We've tried educating, discussion, solidarity, activism, and some of us even tried sabotage and outright violence, for over a hundred years, yet the imperial core seems strong as ever, and the zones of accumulation continue reaping profits and resources from the areas of dispossession. Children are still dying from weapons bought with our blood and sweat and labor. How then do we truly dismantle these systems of oppression, when our own relatives call us brainwashed traitors, when our neighbors support the oppression of others, and the very product of our labor is used to perpetuate violence?
