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!

When will the police start asking to see warrants to protect their communities?
The order should be to stop and ID any masked "police force" to ensure they are legitimate.
None of them are legitimate. ICE personnel should be arrested, as well as any other vigilantes trying to kidnap people from our communities
Have you met the our police? Don't expect the racist and xenophobic hogs to be any help.
Yeah, I can't help reading about the Chicago Police Department (CPD) being instructed not to go along with Tom Homan without thinking of the stories about the Homan Square facility in Chicago where CPD would detain people for days without charging them, without giving them access to their lawyers, etc. If we're thinking CPD are supposed to be some kind of bulwark against fascism, we're SO fucked.
Edit: To be clear, as far as I know, the shared name is a total coincidence, but it really makes it hard not to think about the history of the department.
Cops would love to not need warrants to persecute people, so they'll love this new trend of enforcement.
Never, but I'd love to be proven wrong
