- 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.

- 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.

Not today, or next week, but its very much in the realm of what could happen when Democrats hold power again. Why? Because its become clear that ICE, Border Patrol, and much of the DHS see their goal as being to kill Democrats rather than serve the country.
Schumer, Jeffries Refuse to Join Democrats’ Growing Calls to Slash ICE Spending
Now is the time.
Actually, a long time ago was the time, but later is not the goal.
Unless the democrats become something radically different than they are, even if they GET power again I doubt they will abolish ICE and theres almost zero percent chance they would abolish the DHS. Idk what democratic party you’re seeing but this ain’t it.
Yep. Schumer, Jeffries Refuse to Join Democrats’ Growing Calls to Slash ICE Spending
I do not understand how american liberals can see shit like this and be like “we’ll get em in the mid terms” or “we will primary that guy out” and expect things to be better with that rhetoric.
It doesnt have to be fair; just not so unfair that Democrats can't win a whole lot more seats. That's very possible still.
Remember here: states run elections, not the federal government. So you get different gerrymandering and different voter suppression measures in each state

The Controlled Opposition will be allowed to have a small majority in one of the Congressional branches, so they can be made complicit with the current regime.
2019 was the roadmap.
