    Someone is definitely doing something by hacking, leaking, and publishing internal DHS data, and some of them at least are American.

    In the spirit of alarmism, I think it is perfectly justified and accurate to refer to the so-called “ICE Detention Centers” as what they are - Concentration Camps - places where ethnic and political groups are concentrated in terrible conditions without adequate legal justification and recourse.

    Most Americans lack the education, experience, or means to fully understand and resist this wave of modern fascism, and federal actions are designed to take advantage of that weakness. The rest may be inclined to go along with it. However, it’s a fact that the majority of Americans are not happy with their current government, and I think it’s a mistake to confuse inaction or trepidation with apathy.

    If Americans can’t be bothered to show up and vote to these midterms in record turnouts, then I fear you might be right.

      Don’t stop there, call their deportation of illegal immigrants to unrelated African countries for what it is - slave trade. Slavery was never outlawed, it was just tucked into the prison and detainment system and called prison labor.

      Moving slaves across international borders does what it has always done: it’s a way to hide, muddle, and ignore any remaining rights and available legal recourse they still had. Some remain detained in now completely foreign countries, cementing their slave status, others remain “free”, a freedom with an implied economic surcharge.

  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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That’s all the rules!
