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!

The party of taking things away.

It applies to literally anything they champion.

And of course the idiots who voted for Trump will be the ones most adversely affected by this, yet still somehow blame the Dems and liberals

People should probably protest this. go in person and demand to speak to your rep. or whatever. i don't know how to organize a protest. i just go when i hear about them happening.

Maybe this will finally get thru to MAGAts? When he said he didn't care about you, only cares about your vote--- he wasn't fucking lying for once.

Sucks for people who didn't vote for diaper don tho. A lot of innocent people are going to suffer because of that disgusting twatwaffle...

Yo we're fucked. I hope there's light at the end of the tunnel, like assisted unlivable.

Is “suicide” banned on this instance? Lol

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Not likely, I just like to ironically pretend that it's banned everywhere.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It's still the first year

Maybe we should question how good of an aid that is on its own when the eugenicists would happily love to offer such a service to help them in thinning the herd.

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Omg good point. ICE could be offering that service soon for the unregistered, punitively.
