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!

It'd be funny if people who owned properties beside the schools just set up one of those take one leave one community street libraries filled with all the banned boom

They'd just ban those for operating without a license.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

What license? They wouldn’t be a business.

First they came for the books, and I did not speak out, because I am an illiterate Republican.

Wow, as a "privileged white cis man", I loved JB's books. Fuck any dumbasses against JB.

Conservatives are the ultimate fragile snowflakes. Always were, always will be.

Can you swoop into SLC and pick me up before the drop? I don’t want to go down with these disgusting fascist pig Mormons.

In a few years, all the toxic chemicals at the bottom of the great salt lake will take care of that after it dries up.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Yeah but then theyll roll back the Arizona and destroy any potential Idaho has, I want shadows not refugees.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I'm pretty sure these weirdo losers have already succumbed to the toxic chemicals.

My Catholic junior high school library is where I discovered Judy Blume. I probably read every single book of hers that they had, and there were a lot!

So…calm down, Utah. It’s okay.
