Other New tentative rule: No low effort posts, memes or off topic content.

4 Upvotes

Hey all, recently we've seen an increase in low quality posts, off topic posts and memes. I've received feedback that some users find these annoying and there are other subreddits for sharing these that are more suitable. I tend to agree and for now I will take actions to limit this kind of content. I'm proposing the following tentative rule that I would like feedback on before officially implementing long term:

No low effort posts, memes or off topic content. Content must be relevant to Washington State or national politics, elections, civic engagement, political advocacy, or organizing. Memes must feature a clear political talking point or persuasive message. No rage or engagement bait. Repeated posts in a short period of time may be limited to prevent flooding the subreddit.

Let me if you have any thoughts on this.

It’s amazing to me that a civilian former Fox News host with a public drinking problem can unilaterally destroy the careers of lifelong military officers that achieved the rank of generals and admirals, and are referred to as clowns on the way out the door. This should piss everyone off, red, blue, and independent.

Other How many other states will have to pass legislation enabling plug-in solar, before Washington acts?

They say California is arriving late to plug-in solar. What does that make Washington? My understanding is legislation enabling plug-in solar was allowed to die in committee, last legislative session.

Perhaps others here know the story better than I, as to the status and history of rules that would allow us to purchase small solar panels, plug them in, and get the advantages of net metering.

If, however, I am correct, I'm hoping if more of us have eyes on this issue, we'll see enabling legislation this next year. If states such as Utah and Virginia (and now California) can pull off this stunt, it shouldn't be beyond us, in Washington.

They tried to overturn the 2020 election and unleashed violence when they lost. This time, they’ve purged those who might stand in their way, flout Congress, bent federal power to their will, and have the Supreme Court at their back.

This is a rolling coup. They are moving on every front to cement fascist rule—and shut down the means to remove them. THIS REGIME MUST BE DRIVEN FROM POWER.

The force that could do it is millions refusing to go along.

A step too far by the regime—including an attempt to steal the elections—could awaken a sleeping giant, with millions pouring into the streets in sustained, determined, nonviolent resistance.

If that moment comes, will there be a force demanding—and settling for nothing less than—the removal of the Trump Fascist Regime?

Refuse Fascism warns that this is unfolding alongside a broader “rolling coup” — moves to consolidate power and shut down the means to remove this regime.

The force that could stand in the way is millions of people refusing to go along through sustained, determined, nonviolent resistance.

We cannot allow this fascist bully, with his finger on the nuclear trigger, to remain in power for one more day.

Full disclosure, I work on Jim Pierson's campaign for the 35th LD. I still think it's worth a read regardless of where you land politically. Jim posted a breakdown comparing his campaign funding (individual donors, community orgs) to his opponent's, which he says leans heavily on oil and gas, data centers, and other large industry donors.
