- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.

This is going to benefit communities with a lot of hispanic families, lmao.
They'll find some way to draw up a beneficial neighborhood map that excludes black and brown neighborhoods.
Maybe they’ll even draw the lines in red
They would probably make the lines blue, because they are trying to continue that, and avoid the possibly negative SEO of Red Lining.
Not to mention, blue means democrat. If the lines are blue they can blame it on the democrats when things go wrong!
"This neighborhood has too high of a birth mortality rate, let's pick this white neighborhood instead"
Nah, it will be more racist than that. It will just say "High birth rates of people, PS, we don't consider non whites to actually be people."
Wouldn't be surprised if it gets tied to income
Good point. Maybe it will be something like: 'Households already receiving benefits will be ineligible for this program', and they will count something like food stamps or a child attending public school will keep them out.
As someone else has said, I'm afraid we are giving them ideas.
They already messed with the 2020 census, so red states will benefit from everything more.
Inb4 non-white children born only count as three fifths
They will have more work to do and it will be closer to home. Win win!
Gonna solve that 101 freeway issue right quick
Utah enters the chat...
Do illegal marriages count?
