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!

Surely Florida residents are all aware that the entire state is within the 100-mile freedom exclusion zone.

If she was American, she could afford real clothes instead of those cheap paper ones. Stands to reason.

When the ICE is dismantled, nobody with excellent salaries and benefits should hire those shitbags.

[–] DeICEAmerica@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Hire them? They need to spend the rest of their lives in prison. The most egregious and violent ones should have capitol punishment handed down.

These fools are fucking around and about to find out.

Their force will be met with greater force.

Side note, why is she bringing her scrubs outside the hospital? Don't you return them after your shift in America, to be washed and such?

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you mean why did ICE abduct her from work inside the hospital and drag her outside kicking & screaming without giving her a chance to change her clothes?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No.

But if that's what happened, I have the answer to my question.

I'm also wondering why ICE abducted her period, not really specifically from where. 👍 But like I said, this was a side note.

Depends on where you work. They provide them at my hospital, but I still wear a privately owned pair when traveling between home and work.

These are likely not the drab, standard, facility-provided surgical or operating scrubs that even the I.T. staff has to change in to (or don over top) before crossing the red line into a clean zone, 'red' room or room with isolation precautions. These are the other personally-supplied garments staff wear to look professional in a medical setting. These are the same ones that are sometimes replaced with T-shirts and such on casual friday or department-coordinated Hallowe'en costumes on October 31.
