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!

MODERATORS
They are blowing up the system from within. Our worst fears are materializing in front of our eyes. In just a few weeks.
Fascism.
And there’s really only one solution.
what is the solution?
Idk, Davie, how'd they beat fascism last time?
with 3 of the worlds current super powers. at the moment it looks like the only superpowers who want to push back against the fascists are thr EU and if you want to count Canada as a super power, Canada. I dont know if that will be enough.
edit: to add clarity to my standpoint, its not that I want fascism to win; its that I'm scared that with the backing of the US military and RU military that we may be in for a very bad time if anyone decides to go nuclear.
We're talking protests right? Like the George Floyd ones that totally ended racist policing. Right? ... Right?..
I think it's more Luigi and less Floyd
*the Adjuster.
Luigi is a well known name now for sure but we don't really know that he did it. And even if you just go along with the official story, he should still be innocent until proven guilty.
The outlet reports that deleted datasets "disproportionately" come from environmental science agencies like the Department of Energy, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Gosh.
Burning those libraries
Just fascist things
They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em
Yup
Yes, but technically they merely just removed the reference from the file table. If they don’t start writing too much additional data we can recover those data sets - there’s still time!
What do you wanna bet they aren't just being scrubbed from the web, but actually destroyed.
This is why all publicly funded data should be openly available to everyone, so it can be replicated and no single dictator can destroy it.
Well, the donvict thugs will be coming for the Wayback Machine next.
Yeah, archive.org should probably consider moving to a free country.
Hopefully they start making hidden backups
