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!

The New Mexico health department reported 30 measles cases in the state on Friday, an increase of 20 cases from its previous count.
I don't think that means the "30 Measles cases a day" that the headline is showing. More "We're up to 30 cases in the state, 20 more than the last time I let you know." As of yesterday, there are only (<-what a time to be alive) 222 cases in the country.
The headline means, "one day after the second US measles death in a decade, New Mexico reports 30 cases of the measles".
Hey, antivaxers, have fun with that. You’re a bunch of idiots. <3
Tbh it doesn't feel satisfying to think about with children being involved. At least they won't have time to become woke because unlike real life threatening diseases that's obviously bad.
Can't be woke if you never wake up.
watching their children die might be the only thing that snaps them out of it
a horrific price of freedom
My aunt watched her husband die on a ventilator in a room with a bunch of other people on ventilators behind a glass window and still denies covid did it, and is still staunchly maga
Let me guess, she says he died with Covid, not from Covid?
there's only so much you can do for these people until you end up harming yourself
people taken by cults essentially die to those close to them
And most antivax parents are themselves vaxxed
