Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 Trump administration is assigning denaturalization cases to regular prosecutors, which could lead to a surge of people stripped of U.S. citizenship.

I note that this appears to be targeted based on skin color.

I note that this appears to be targeted based on skin color.

Sadly this is pretty plausible, but I don't see any such assertion, not even a hint, in the NYT story. Have you got additional information?

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They list a set of examples. They're not from Europe

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 3 points 2 weeks ago

OK that's true, as far as it goes

[–] grue@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

There is absolutely no difference between naturalized citizens and natural-born ones (except eligibility to be president). If anyone can be stripped of their citizenship, noone is safe from it.

Reminder: they've already publicly advocated for 100 million deportations. There aren't that many immigrants in the country, including naturalized ones. They absolutely intend to make 'undesirable' natural-born Americans stateless, or worse.

We need to denaturalize all MAGA once Dems regain control.

[–] kylie_kraft@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

once the Dems regain control

oh buddy

[–] GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh I hold no illusions; November is it. 1000 years of darkness if they lose. And no one is pretending otherwise anymore.

[–] AshMan85@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Goodluck, they will call for "unity"

[–] GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It’s up to us to make sure those calls go unheeded.

The people have pitifully short attention spans. Stephen Miller will be elected in 30 years, if y'all manage to salvage democracy

If you ever get a chance you should attend one of the resistance activism trainings that Pramila Jayapal puts on every now and then. She does a pretty good job of summarizing the history of immigration legislation at the start.

In summary, she is pretty transparent in the fact that the DNC has never been a friend to immigrants, as evidenced by the fact that most of the tools that Trump is using are things that got originally passed by democratic administrations.

Don't expect a democratic establishment to give very many shits about immigrants because they have historically not done so. Remember when Biden was bragging about his deportation numbers? That is half the reason Trump is so committed to this shit (the other half is that Trump is a racist piece of shit, so there is that).

Hitler will die and the concentration camps will stay open. Fuck the Untied States

You do realize midterms are a fantasy?

[–] GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I’m more concerned with his will be like 2020 when people showed up in overwhelming numbers, only to think all is well and fall flat two years later. This HAS to be a one-two punch of 2026/2028.

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

You mean the closeted white supremacists want only white people in the country? Moral panics round 300?

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Looks like Stephen Miller feels secure that the public got its scalps from Noem and Bongino, so he will not be held accountable for masterminding turning ICE into the gestapo on meth (well, more meth).

Look out fellow Americans, he greased up and ready to Nazi around some more.

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

This is the last step on the fascism road. Can’t wait for the midterms to not save us.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Hardly the last step. More like the next step.

We can make it the last but I might get banned for saying how.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder what will happen after November when that bit of hope is finally snuffed out

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

denaturalization

Lovely term for destroying people's lives

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I don't understand why white people want to be hated so much.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hundreds? A bit below their quota
