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!

Entering the country illegally or staying too long is the same thing as rape and murder according to this administration.
No, they’re very much in favor of rape and murder.
Especially if its kids.
So when is Pete Hegseth getting sent to CECOT?
It's not an immigration crackdown, they've made it very clear that we in the US are engaged in ethnic cleansing. Really nakedly, quiet part out loud, no dog whistles needed, ethnic cleansing.
We're still calling them "arrests"?
You have to slowly move the overton window, if you say kidnapping, people think you're "overreacting"
That's a weird way to say innocent people?
I mean, a criminal record really doesn’t mean much. Serial jaywalking by a college during the first week of summer quarter will net you plenty of citations, but I see nothing wrong with it.
Agreed, but when the ~~messaging~~ propaganda has been "MS13! We're going after the worst of the worst!" and the reality is arresting Abuelas with no criminal records who have been here 40 or 50 years... yeah...
As they say, if they’re white, say good night. If they’re brown, put them down.
Even more so when you realize that demonizing "jaywalking" was a corrupt scheme by rich fucks to steal the streets from the people and it shouldn't be illegal at all.
I still don’t understand how the term caught on. “Jay” is fantastic, as far as pejoratives go. It’s evocative and descriptive and just gosh darn tasty. But “jaywalker” feels like saying someone has a green thumb for construction. Just, like, what the fuck are you trying to say? It’s just an absolute abortion of a word, and my feelings on it have only grown stronger over the years. A stupid word for a stupid cause
And we will never see 96.9% of them ever again. tRump and Project 2025 are killing/imprisoning/disappearing them "legally". 🤷♂️
What's the number of ICE that have been arrested for kidnappings and human traffickin?
0... so far!
