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.

- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Yep. Any time now, would be great.
We need to be doing everything legally possible right now to get him the fuck out. That's what I'll say.
We need to be lawful and civilized.
Can't say the same for some radical rando with an AR-15
I actually heard it succinctly explained by Graham Plattner the other day (I think on The Daily podcast), and I'll probably muck it up but: When people aren't given the power to bring change the right way within the system because the billionaires have rigged it for themselves, it makes that small percentage of people who are naturally inclined towards violence to take matters into their own hands.
That's why we're seeing an increase in stochastic violence. It's not some organized resistance cell, but just a random dude who maybe would've committed other crimes at a different time that picks up a rifle and tries to solve what he sees as the biggest problem facing him today.
They’re going to rise up for sure after the mid-terms are stolen, and then after the next general is stolen, and then…
HEY this is the regime's fifth to last chance! They better not do it 6 more times or else we'll start to mobilize a few years after their 7th time.
