Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
