I tried not to make rules for this community but y'all wylin'. I'll keep it quick and to the point:

Mildly biased headlines and articles are fine, but please do not share opinion pieces or strongly slanted articles here.
Reporting content that does not break those rules prohibited.
Baiting and drama farming is prohibited. If you're not sure whether or not you're in this category, ask yourself if what you're about to post or comment adds to the discussion of the topic at hand, or if you are trying to get a rise out of someone, make bad-faith accusations against one's character, etc. There's some leeway here because I have a sense of humor though, so don't let this rule scare you.
Endorsing or supporting extrajudicial, nonexecutive or nonwar violence is prohibited.
Using slurs is expressly prohibited.
Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)

Oh I see! It's a problem of semantics.

Well now, I'm sure the people held in miserable conditions in those not-concentration-camps will be happy to know they're not being held in concentration camps...

Also, people are innocent until proven guilty. Your "criminals" held in not-concentration-camps are not criminals until they get their day in court. Siince Trump promised millions of deportations, assuming due process is followed, they'll wait in limbo in not-concentration-camps for a mighty long time. And if due process is not followed, which is more likely, they'll eventually be expelled from the US without having been convicted of anything.

I'll add this: people held in concentration camps in Nazi Germany were all deemed criminals by the Third Reich. Not one of them was innocent according to the Nuremberg laws. Yet those jails furiously look like concentration camps don't you think?

The conditions shouldn't be miserable, so you misunderstand my position slightly.

Also, people are innocent until proven guilty. Your "criminals" held in not-concentration-camps are not criminals until they get their day in court.

Siince Trump promised millions of deportations, assuming due process is followed, they'll wait in limbo in not-concentration-camps for a mighty long time.

What part of the process causes this to take a long time? That needs to be identified and streamlined.

I'll add this: people held in concentration camps in Nazi Germany were all deemed criminals by the Third Reich. Not one of them was innocent according to the Nuremberg laws. Yet those jails furiously look like concentration camps don't you think?

See I still don't know if you're trolling or not
