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!

if there isn't already a mutual aid network then start one. Women need to leave states where they have less rights than a dog while they still have the right to leave.
Not everyone has the means and opportunity to pack up and leave a shitty state.

Give them the means and opportunity
They're saying it's our job to get them out.
A good chunk of them asked for this
intelligence is not a pre-requisite for treating someone with dignity.
I didn't say it was. Still, I'm not pulling a swimmer out of the pool. They're not drowning. They jumped in on purpose.
You would have sounded better if you said they wouldn’t leave
that's what I took swimmer to mean
We still try to help suicidal people even thought it's their choice.
Suicidal people have mental health issues, this is why we help them.
Republican voters are just stupid. Last I checked, being a dumbass is not a recognized mental disease.
The age gap is steep. Lots of Republican women are post-menopausal.
Which is still ridiculous, because whether they know it or not republicans consistently undermine access to healthcare, which makes peri and post menopause treatment and symptom management harder to get. Menopause is no fucking joke. That shit can fuck your life up.
Like all Republicans, they are voting against their own interests...and I don't know if anything can convince them to stop doing that.
