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!

Hey maga people, remember when you were really concerned about free speech and people being canceled for “just voicing their opinion”?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
It's never about freedom of speech, it's about freedom of their speech and only theirs.
It's about freedom of their speech and their freedom to control yours.
Same as it ever was. “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
Roseanne Barry just kicked DeNiro off of some show she's doing for being "woke."
Of course, every MAGAt is cheering and not a single one is screaming about how um actually it's illegal to not do business with someone you don't like, like they do to us.
People who abuse and manipulate their family also have social media, which they use to abuse and manipulate society.
They're a certain type of person and for a lot of people, social media is their first real experience with these patterns of behaviour that were usually hidden behind closed doors.
But for anyone who grew up in an abusive home and broke the cycle, it's instantly recognisable.
The tricks and motivations don't change. They want to dictate how everyone around them looks, acts and thinks. If anybody gets it wrong, they lash out at them and try to hurt them physically or emotionally.
Everything that comes out of their mouths is just a means to that end. Things like logic and consistency don't even enter into it.
They have no qualms at all about deliberately misinterpreting "freedom of speech" so they can say what they like, then handwaving it away so they can prevent others from doing the same.
Except they've never hidden the fact that their "free speech" only applies to their opinions and they have never even once endorsed anyone else's right to voice their own opinions. Apparent in the fact that they consider things like LGBTQ+ advocacy, where members of that community express their opinions and exercise that right, to somehow be an active suppression of their free speech because, well because they disagree with the LGBTQ+ community and their messages so they don't think they should have the right to express it.
As with everything else with these types, it's "free speech for me, but not for thee."
