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 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.
  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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 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!

This is honestly the first time I've seen pretty much anything about it.

The last photo behind the "A Better World is Possible Sign" is worth a mention:

"You can only get what you are Organized to Take".

So, which news sites should I be following?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Havent heard about this either. But I live in Switzerland, so I'am quite confident the newssites and agencies were occupied with covering all the shit that went down during inauguartion and the few days before and after it. Plus our Europe and National and Regional news. So I am not really surprised to missing it.

  • nope
  • but also, I did my best to sleep through the inauguration out of spite, and also as political commentary on how the Democratic party’s strategic leadership slept through the entire fucking election cycle, because the only other explanation is that they were playing to loose

Panama, Mexico, London and Belgium are hardly "THE WORLD 🌎 ™️"

I'm in Argentina and no one here was protesting about or against Trump.

Nothing in Venezuela either

Weird not to see Canada jumping on that action

Well of course not, y’all are too busy dealing with your own Trump

I knew. I was at one of the protests.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

We didn't notice because we were too busy holding back tears.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I mean… the world is pretty much protesting against trump every day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I participated in the one that was a few days before the inauguration. Heard about it from the front page of the New York Times. I'm pretty sure I heard about the other 700 marches planned for inauguration day here on Lemmy since this is the only social media site I use.

BBC Mentioned the one in Washington but it was just as an add on when explaining that it was too cold for trump to have it outside. Doesn't really matter how big the protests were in America as they literally voted for it.
