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.

- 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.

Trump administration raises possibility of stripping Mamdani of US citizenship
(www.theguardian.com)
Hey USA, you guys ok down there?
No.
Naw man, we’re pretty fucking far from ok
We need some cold pipe hittin niggas to deal with the felon in chief.
If only Marcellus Wallace was real
Zed's dead baby, Zed's dead.
No, send help.
I'm stocking up on ammunition in case I need it for self-defense and using a no-log VPN when criticizing the government.
So I'm gonna go with "No."
fyi there is no such thing as a no log vpn; be careful out there.
also look into reloading. it’s not only economical but nerdy fun too.

For anyone in France, we might need some help
Probably shouldn’t have made all those white flag jokes huh?
Grandfather fought in WWII and had nothing but kind words for the people of France. Never could understand the fuckery of those jokes, which is probably for the better.

No we're pretty fucking far from ok.
No, but all the conservative evangelical "but suffering brings us closer to God" waste of space type people that want to live in the 1940s sure are having a hell of a hurrah though.
No.
No, but if we could hang on for another year or so while I prepare to move that'd be great.

Human MAGAs should all inject bleach. It's good for you. I heard it on Fox News.
First: ~~Human~~ MAGAs.
Second: I’m more of a proponent for aqueous fluoroantimonic acid instead of bleach, but do recognize the effectiveness and cost savings provided by bleach.
Wow, look at don knowing fancy words, like Aqua's fluoride animatronic acid
Thank you, fartographer ~stop it, autocorrect, I meant the f goddammit~, for your kind if maybe confusing compliment
I have a friend named don. I just met them. It's you. You're my friend now.
Deal with it.

Disgusting. If they do this, we are actually living in a fascist state. Stripping citizenship from your political opponents? This is insane.
If they do this, it is further confirmation that we are actually living in a fascist state.
We are already living in a fascist state.
We better start preparing for a stronger resistance now while we still can.
- find local communities and get involved to make connections
- We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This targets the establishment's income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
- Contact a union and attempt to unionize your workplace so that the general strike is even more effective (plus, ya know, better pay and working conditions as a bonus!)
This method would not only work in the US, but anywhere in the world.
Union Suggestions:
- 🌍 Global: IWW (Français) - (Español)
- 🇦🇷 Argentina: FORA
- 🇦🇺 Australia: ASF-IWA
- 🇧🇷 Brazil: FOB
- 🇧🇬 Bulgaria: ARS, CITUB
- 🇩🇪 Germany: FAU
- 🇬🇷 Greece: ESE
- 🇮🇹 Italy: USI
- 🇳🇱 🇧🇪 Netherlands & Belgium: Vriji Bond
- 🇪🇸 Spain: CNT
- 🇸🇪 Sweden: SAC
- 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: UVW
- Continuing to participate in publicly visible resistance demonstrations like 50501 (the next one is July 17th) to encourage others to stand up with you and prove to that there are millions of others who will join them in the fight. A large part of Nazi Germany's success in taking over the country was a lack of massive public demonstrations against the new regime, making people feel helpless and afraid to take a stand.
If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Look at how effective these methods were when used in Chile in 2019.. If we completely reject the political system and rebel on a mass scale, there is NOTHING they can do to stop us.

THAT's the trigger point where you will accept that you live in a fascist country?? Have you been asleep since january?
Long story short is that America has literally been going through "First they came for ..." for months now.
I can already see the headlines from later this year and the next, about how "no one could see it coming" and "why didn't anyone warn me(better)". You can actually just go to communities making fun of pro-brexit folk and see the same quotes from them afterwards.

Whoa there America. That sounds like some good ol” fashioned American fascism right there
The fuckass conservatives have long since been brainwashed into fantasizing about being fascist, and the democratic leadership has done pretty much fuckall about it.

Its a good thing Democratic leadership has condemned this. They obviously don't like the man and see him as a threat, but Trump's actions are far worse. They did stand up for him right? Right?
They stand up for him in the most feeble, token way, once they're sure it won't affect the outcome. Then they'll regretfully run Cuomo.
Nothing is off the table for the fascist Trump administration, absolutely nothing.
"Terrorism" as in "Taxing the rich"?
At some point, some country will need to send a task force to El Salvador to liberate people from the concentration camp there.
Relax everyone, this is all a part of the democratic process.
Marco Rubio first. POS birthright citizenship. Or let’s deport Ted Cruz. I’m sure Canada will love to have his head on a stick.
Damn they really out there brainstorming
