it is a nationwide movement with at least tens of thousands of people across literally every state organizing political action, and it's only growing, so... here they are.

For those who, like me, don't know what 5051 is, it is an american protest movement against corruption "50 protests. 50 states. 1 movement."
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
What a perfect domain for this movement.
They're establishing communities here because reddit (where the community mostly started) can censor or ban their community at any moment. The fediverse offers a lot more protection from censorship.
Seeing the censorship of redditors who mention Luigi, or wish anything bad on MAGA people, it makes a lot of sense not to be overly reliant on reddit when organizing protests.

And yet...no icon for us!
I was banned for “showing extreme indifference” when that really funny thing happened to the health care CEO
You mean when someone iced the fuck out of Bryan tomson? That was hilarious as fuck.
You mean when Luigi Mangione, a folk hero, ALLEGEDLY shot a capitalist mass murderer in the back?
No way he’d ever do such a thing. I know a guy who said they saw him at a party in Pittsburgh at the time of the shooting.
When Luigi Mangione ALLEGEDLY did a good deed for the benefit of all of society, you mean?
There's also a community that mirrors posts and comments from Reddit, so it looks like a lot is happening here while it's actually all happening on Reddit.
Someone on Lemmy said they're a thinly disguised front for neoliberals, or libertarians, or something. I didn't look into it.
It seems to be more than a flash in the pan, though, so I should probably figure out what they're about.
"Someone on Lemmy" is probably someone who thinks anyone who doesn't use the right Marxist buzzwords is a CIA plant.
Can you provide a source for that? As far as I'm aware its a movement protesting Trump and Musk's purported election fraud and fascistic policies. Like almosy basically the opposite of what you're throwing out there
