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!

Mutual aid will be more important than ever, join and build up your local groups if you're able, it will pay off in dividends in the coming years.

This election has only proven how electoralism cannot be relied upon, it's just us now. We need to build the world we want to live in, without corporate influence.

  • Search your local area + 'mutual aid'.
  • Help your local food not bombs.
  • Create a worker owned cooperative with your friends if possible, or join an existing one.
  • Help spread the meshtastic network to build up communication resilience in your community.
  • Plant trees in your community to help reduce the heat island effect for the coming heatwaves.
  • Create or join a community garden near you to bolster food availability and foster connections with those around you.
  • engage in guerrilla urbanism, make your community safer to walk or bike
  • encourage your coworkers to unionize under the IWW, contact them for help on how to unionize your workplace.
  • vote in your local elections to try and have a state or city government that is less hostile to the above actions, but continue to build decentralized power independently of them regardless. Do not make the mistake of handing off the responsibility to make things better to them, it's up to YOU, and your community, and hopefully other nearby communities doing the same, but that is all.

We have tremendous collective power if we just use it, and hopefully this outcome will result in us coming together and building that world in the shell of the old. Collective solidarity is our only solution left.

I hadn't heard of Meshtastic so I looked it up:

"An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices"

I would love yo get involved but it only supports Apple (iOS and Mac) and Android (and a web browser).

I was hoping to host a node on a raspberry pi but those run Linux.

Thanks for all the other suggestions though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Linux has things like Waydroid and Android translation layers that might let you run it.

There are thankfully now stand alone devices that can use meshtastic, and they support hosting on RPI as well.

There are LoRa hats available for rpi, and here’s the link for getting started with Linux devices from meshtastic themselves.

Thanks for the info!

Already have some solar powered meshtastic nodes up in my area. Gonna get some folks on it in the coming weeks and months.

~~Can you point me to any guides for doing this?~~ You did in another comment

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

I did? Guess I missed your first comment. Lot of info out there on it, but if you want some specific info, lemme know.

Good stuff my friend, your preparations are essential and appreciated.
