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!

Why aren't we rioting again?
Just forget it. Us Americans are too comfortable/scared/tired to do jack shit. We should've been out striking and rioting like the French day after day when ICE first started to make their move. At this point we pretty much deserve what's coming to us because of the election results and us not objecting loud enough.
Comfort has nothing to do with it. If you don't show up at your work, you don't have income anymore. There's no fallbacks by design. They keep you in line by forcing you to work. And they made sure the cost of living was high enough that most people have to work a 2nd job, so protests can't even be held after work hours.
You've been set up for this after decades of preparing.
You should have revolted as a society when you started committing a live steamed genocide. If no one cares about children being literally shredded to pieces with their taxes, why would they care that someone 20 minutes away is "getting deported".
They're not scared, they're amoral. People voted for this, you forget.
Yawn. Germany sells a fuck ton of weapons to Israel but you give them a free pass because you don’t care about dead Palestinians, you care about crushing the US. You’re a hypocrite ML.
