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!

“a targeted, intelligence-driven” operation “focused on criminal activity relating to selling counterfeit goods.”

Dude, just say “we’re doing fascism”

The Department of Homeland Security said nine people were detained during the raid, which officials described as “a targeted, intelligence-driven” operation “focused on criminal activity relating to selling counterfeit goods.”

And Eric Garner was accused of selling single cigarettes. No judge nor jury found Eric Garner guilty. But the cops said he was killed for selling cigarettes illegally. Same cops that had killed him.

She deserves a statue like The Woman With The Handbag.

I clicked the x(cancel) links. I read the 10 top comments on each. Fucking hell, glad I left this cesspool when it changed hands. I took 9999 Psy Damage, and will need the week to recover.

I'm not reading this because I know it will upset me and I will fantasize about fighting those people instead of drifting peacefully to sleep. I have to remind myself they're probably just bots

[–] pticrix@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is the self care I aspire to. You're on your way to nirvana.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Just delete your account. I can't see comments without logging in. Surprised i could watch the video tbh.

[–] pticrix@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

As I implied in my first comment, I do not have an account there anymore. I went through xcancel. And regretted it and won't do it anymore.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ah, didn't know what that meant lol

[–] pticrix@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

Damn, the wheeling, IL, video is also very satisfying, currently right below the woman video.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Fucking hero

[–] SuperEars@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Seconded on that Wheeling video

[–] KelvarCherry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 6 days ago

She is an absolute hero. This is the kind of courage we need to amplify and idolize as a nation.

[–] Horsey@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (5 children)

How are the officers so fucking fat 😂😂😂

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

They are low end Americans.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Slaps belly of high end American

This bad boy can fit so much fucking mcdonald's.

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 12 points 5 days ago

There are no hiring standards for ice. They will hire anyone with a pulse.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

They've spent their lives answering the Call of Duty. Now ICE is paying them to get out of their parent's basement.

[–] whiwake@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

Well, when you goon all night and stand around all day with a smug look on your face that says “kill all ice employees” I guess it makes you fat.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

they're hogs who couldn't get qualify for police

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 12 points 5 days ago

Found this video in my search for the original "Polka dot dress" video

And we love to see it

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago

Business casual and taking no shit.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

~~blazer~~ ~~suit jacket~~ no let's call it a leather jacket. It's like whomever wrote this article has never seen a woman who works before.

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 5 points 5 days ago

Anyone got the original video? I only saw a link for an EDM-Version via the article
