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!

I criticise everything.
pick your battles or lose the war
It takes two seconds to make fun of him for it today. It's just to exhaust his base of non-MAGA Republicans. Republicans have shown you can be on the attack for everything a person does, for the last fifteen years. Either be vocal or die in silence.
Concentration camps. Secret police. Secret police motherfucker. Use a VPN so that they dont know you are a social media radicalist. They are kicking in doors. Handcuffing people. Tossing them like so many potatos into unmarked vans. Its only Latinis today so you are safe.
More like reality show tv police. They had Dr Phil on an ICE raid. Their goal is to scare people. But they are very close to getting to anyone, not just immigrants. And it's been all kinds of immigrants not just Latinx. They been detaining pro-Palestinian students on student visas and tourists from European countries.
Also, so far they are outsourcing the death camps, to El Salvador, but I think they are probably going to start using American prisons and maybe even military bases. Trump signed an executive order for getting lethal injection drugs to the states. I think firing squad might be the method of choice still but we'll see I guess.
I use my real name and face on BlueSky where I'm openly trans. The only reason I used my account name here is because it seemed like Reddit and the I only did that on Reddit is because the site recommend it.
I would link to my BlueSky but I doubt you people would benefit from that site and vice versa. You all mean well, but I think BlueSky would lose its mind over Lemmy and I know people here don't like BlueSky so I'm keeping you separate for your own good.
But push me on it and I'll do it. I'll link to my BlueSky. I've been openly Jewish and atheist since elementary school and openly socialist since high school. I suppressed I was trans for the majority of my life and I would rather die than keep doing that.
Also social media radicalist? I think that's the furthest left of liberal on the political spectrum I've been labeled on this site by another user so thanks for that.
