41. Reddit hosts a ton of progressive groups

And the info on specific actions, eg against ICE locations, abductions, and even agents (crowd sourcing so sane people can learn who their neighbors are) is excellent.

That's apart from the thousands of niche interest groups, everything from hobbies to sexuality.

Of course, Reddit has money for lawyers, which would likely wipe out progressive boards hosted by individuals or small groups.
