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!

This administration is pretty much tossing every part of the Constitution aside. I can’t help but wonder what the founding fathers would think after just fighting a long war to get these rights written down...
You can’t protest what they’re doing. Only their supporters should have guns (remember when Trump said, 'Take their guns'?)
If you don’t let ICE crash at your place, you can’t do business, MAGA will dox it.
ICE can stop and hold you whenever they feel like it.
They can keep you locked up without charging you, so forget about due process.
They can deport you before you even get a chance to go to court, even if the court says not to.
ICE claims they can use military courts instead of regular juries, and they say they’re immune to all laws.
Citizens can be deported without a trial.
You are starting to lose the right to just be out and about without showing ID (if ICE even asks to see it). Soon you'll need a driver’s license just to walk to the store.
ICE, as a federal agency, has more power than the states, even though states should have rights over the federal government.
This is a tipping point in history.
The conservatives are literally doing everything that they claimed Obama or Biden wanted to do.
It's always projection. Always.
They just wanted to make sure that they were the one’s doing it. (Of course most of this madness would not have happened under Obama and Biden)
That is so that the morons who listen to them see Obama and Biden didn't do it so that when people point out Trump is actually doing it they doubt it is really happening.
They fall for anything.
Every accusation is a confession
Remember, have them slip the warrant under the door before opening it even a crack. It MUST be signed by a judge to be legal. Anything else is bullshit, no matter what they say. They are liars, and they are allowed to lie, so assume that EVERYTHING they say is a lie.
Make them break down the door, and preserve your right to sue them and fund your retirement.
I love the sentiment, but I've got a logistical issue. Do y'all not have weather stripping? Aren't most doors pretty well sealed? You're not supposed to be able to slide a piece of paper under it.
Not my problem. Leave it on the front step, and my lawyer will get back to you within 72 hours.
But I’m sure they can find a judge who will sign the warrant.
Make them
Then do it.
At least that would be legal. Corrupt, but legal.
re: driver's license to walk to store - there are already enough examples in recent history in the US of pretty much exactly this situation happening.
example: the civil rights lawyer (YT), video "CVS employee arrested waiting on bench". guy got off work, sat on the bench outside the store waiting for his Lyft, wouldn't provide ID, got arrested.
I will say, at least in that specific case, the guy is likely to get a payout for his civil rights being violated.
You can’t really say the same about ICE violating your rights. And the chances of that are essentially -10% if you’re an undocumented immigrant.
yeah, in that case, the response to it has not been entirely unreasonable. my point is that it even happened in the first place. but yes, the system does seem to be somewhat working for that poor guy.
Ugh, I don't want to live in a tipping point in history.
Fuck everyone who wished to "live in interesting times" over "good times" because they can't entertain themselves and need the world to be entertaining for them. Lol
They got their wish.
I've been in too many tipping points. I'm exhausted.
