Politics
For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.
Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.
Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.
Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

I say we have laws against retroactive laws. The same laws that protect you from being thrown in jail for getting an abortion or something under Roe v Wade are the same laws that protect these states and/or corporations (I don't know how their agreement works).
If the government wants to make a law, they can make it penalize actions that happen after the law takes effect, but they cannot make it penalize actions that happened before the law takes effect. Allowing ex post facto laws is tyrannical, and nobody should stand for it, even if allowing it in one case would benefit you in the moment. That's short sighted, and should not be tolerated in a free society.
Well those laws can fuck themselves when it comes to killing the planet. Killing rich people was against the law during the French Revolution in 1789, but that didn't stop them, and it shouldn't stop us now. They have been aware of the issues for decades, hidden the fact, and now we should follow the law? Nah, I'm all for the French invention they used hundreds of years ago.
You can be for or against whatever you want, but that doesn't change the law. And if we decide to change the law, be very careful because it'll likely get used against you.
