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!

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

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.
It would be a real shame if our furry overlords or some other group retaliated against the heritage foundation
Our furry overlords are not enough, we need a team of Luigis.
basically the same thing they did to abortion doctors like dr tiller.
The same thing that they will continue to do to abortion doctors.
and gender affirming care doctors
All while pretending that their low-T treatment isn't also gender affirming care.
Maybe just dox Heritage Foundation members right back ...
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.

What's that, evidence of intent to commit terrorism?
Pretty sure just saying it is terrorism.
Try saying youll "doxx and target" UHC C suite and see how that goes. Theyll shove you in the same spot as luigi and name a hotline after you

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.
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
Thank you to the Heritage Foundation for reminding me to donate to Wikimedia, almost forgot to do it.
I hope HF get the karma they deserve asap.
If god exists they're all going to hell
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
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.
I refuse to let the fascists control knowledge
Wikipedia isn't just useful as a repository of information. Its useful because editors are constantly adding and refining the information within. Downloading a singular instance of the site is like owning an Encyclopedia. Diminished utility year-by-year.
True, but it depends who's going the refining. If they start censoring or changing facts, then the static instance on your hard drive has huge value.

Perhaps the 'heritage foundation' needs some of it's own medicine. These people are domestic terrorists who are traitors to their country.
We need another brave group like that furry hacker group that pissed them off so much that they flew off the handle. Except I vote the group that does it doesn't make the same mistake as the last one by contacting them afterwards.

Can’t have anybody spreading the truth now, can we?
Heritage Foundation plans to doxx and target Wikipedia editors in service to Zionism
Kinda burying the lead with that headline.
Can you smell the freedom?
In June, a panel of Wikipedia editors declared the Anti-Defamation League a “generally unreliable” source of information about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
And there was an outcry this fall among some Jewish scholars and pro-Israel activists over edits to Wikipedia’s entry for Zionism to add references to “colonization.”
So basically the usual zionist hostility towards logical conclusions based on mountains of credible evidence. Except taken to 11.
roadmap for fighting antisemitism and anti-Zionism
Extremely unfun fact: Zionism and the aggressively counterfactual defense of it is the number one cause of ACTUAL antisemitism in the world.
Some people who have never been bigoted before start at justified outrage at the atrocities committed by the fascist apartheid regime in charge of Israel and go down rabbit holes conflating Israel and all Jewish people, leading to some of the most disgusting conspiracy theories in existence.

Made a note to donate on payday.
I always give to Wikipedia. I’m poor as shit, but anytime I see that banner they gonna get some money.
NOTHING has been as useful for me in the last 20 years. I have learned so much I’ve forgotten over half of it.
I’m a hillbilly who has no education past around the 5th grade. It has been invaluable to me. I wouldn’t be who I am without it. Honestly without the internet as a whole, but especially Wikipedia.

The entire US conservative establishment is waging a holy crusade against anyone who opposes their Israeli alter ego's Biblical bloodlettings. You'd think they had no problems to handle at home.
So how do these idiots plan to solve the fact that many editors are not in fact based in the US. Just move edition these articles to any other country?
