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 the way you would write that headline, lead with the thing people know.

And/or the group that broke the Supreme Court for the next 30+ years.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Sounds like a terrorist threat to me. Unfortunately, our next administration is in bed with the terrorists.

basically the same thing they did to abortion doctors like dr tiller.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The same thing that they will continue to do to abortion doctors.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

and gender affirming care doctors

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

All while pretending that their low-T treatment isn't also gender affirming care.

It would be a real shame if our furry overlords or some other group retaliated against the heritage foundation

Firstly it has to be somewhere other than 4chan, but anonymity is a must...

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 19 hours ago

Why not Lemmy? Federation seems kind of perfect for something so decentralized as Anonymous.

Our furry overlords are not enough, we need a team of Luigis.

If god exists they're all going to hell

[–] Ransack3@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago

Thank you to the Heritage Foundation for reminding me to donate to Wikimedia, almost forgot to do it.

[–] Absaroka@lemmy.world 92 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe just dox Heritage Foundation members right back ...

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (6 children)

You can just go to their website. They aren't hiding.

But they're also the friends and scions of the mega-wealthy, put in these positions specifically to fuck with the lower classes. If they're feeling a bit of impunity right now, you can hardly blame them.

Heritage Foundation plans to doxx and target Wikipedia editors in service to Zionism

Kinda burying the lead with that headline.

[–] karashta@piefed.social 84 points 2 days ago (13 children)

In case anyone doesn't know, you can download all of Wikipedia of you have 120GB of space. You can download a whole bunch of wikis straight off Kiwix.

I refuse to let the fascists control knowledge

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 16 hours ago

Or you can always grab a torrent: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dump_torrents

Also make sure to seed, preferably on a dedicated machine with an unmetered connection and high bandwidth.

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 16 hours ago

Is that just the English version or all languages?

What's that, evidence of intent to commit terrorism?

The slideshow says the group’s “targeting methodologies” would include creating fake Wikipedia user accounts to try to trick editors into identifying themselves by sharing personal information or clicking on malicious tracking links that can identify people who click on them. It is unclear whether this has begun.

What a bunch of complete dipshits. That being said, there are ways to request yourself to be allowed to use a VPN when editing if these fascist threats intimidate you.

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

You could also use split tunneling on your VPN and only whitelist Wikipedia. But it's absolutely ridiculous that Wikipedia editors have to worry about opsec in the first place

Can you smell the freedom?

[–] Zier@fedia.io 122 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Perhaps the 'heritage foundation' needs some of it's own medicine. These people are domestic terrorists who are traitors to their country.

Can’t have anybody spreading the truth now, can we?
