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!

Trump was just in there like a pig in shit.
"denied access" doesn't sound like they showed up ready to do anything about the place, fucking sad
Within a year they’ll be allowed in but not out.
As lawmakers you can bring the local sherrifs to press your case.
Well, I guess that about sums up our requisite response.
why do you think they built in in florida? local sheriff won't help democrat lawmakers
If Trump has his way I’m sure they’ll be getting to know the place soon enough.
the death camp is completely off the grid. it runs on generators, has no plumbing, and is already flooding with the most basic rainstorm Florida has to offer. my only hope is that the losers who choose to work there suffer as much as their victims
Patience. They'll see the inside of that place soon enough.
Alligator Auschwitz. Get some cojones, fuckers.
American media is in the "if we say it out loud, it'll become true" phase.
They're not wrong, but it will become true regardless, so it's kinda irrelevant.
The big thing is that admitting earlier could prevent it going as far as it has in the past.
Where’s the merch for this name?
Setting up an Etsy store rn
Did they get any merchandise?
THEY'RE SELLING MERCHANDISE LIKE IT'S A GODDAMN AMUSEMENT PARK!
Anyone going to tell me I'm just a "gloom and doomer" and decency will prevail?
Fuck that. The United States is a fascist nation. It's our new reality. The lives we lived are over. Resist your fascist masters PEACEFULLY and LEGALLY by preserving history, literature, and science that might be destroyed by the regime.
One day they will destroy themselves. Most of us won't live to see it. But those who are there, will need to rebuild. They'll need the things that are being burned.
I don't agree with peaceful resistance.
if i can't have peace, why should they?
Resist your fascist masters PEACEFULLY and LEGALLY
I disagree. Fight fascism with everything you've got.
the whole point is fascism is that you can't fight it legally.
there are legal ways to resist, but the state is the law and fighting the state will be illegal.
