Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

How's everyone feeling about America having Nazi Gestapo and concentration camps?
I guess, after trying it, I'd have to say nah, not really into it.
Too bad Americans are stupid enough to have to see for themselves before they judge.
Your generalizations, friend, cut me to the quick.
The conservative sister fucks are still celebrating all of this
I feel used to it. We had concentration camps during the FDR admin, and we've had gestapo since shortly after 9/11. Trump didn't turn the US into shit, all he did was smear it on our faces.
non of these raids happened under Biden, stop lying to yourself. Trump is 100% exponentially escalating the surveilance state
Biden didn't do anything to roll it back, either, AFAIK. The democrats built their 2024 campaign on "Trump is a dangerous fascist" (and he is) right up until they shitcanned it when that kid took a shot at him. Well, they said he was a dangerous fascist, but they sure didn't act like it, and they left all the tools he would need handily lying around for him.
That's about1.5% of the undocumented population in the US.
For comparison, trump wants to deport 1,000,000 people a year.
Trump is also deporting people without due process. He's deporting people who are here legally and going through the immigration system.
The scale of difference here is the difference.
To a death camp?
And how many of them were sent to mega prisons in nations they've never been to in their lives?
Zero. The answer is zero.
What?
Ignorant shit right here
Oh look, someone too young to remember life before the patriot act
I wish.
But no, I'm someone who knows what the Gestapo was and actually did.
Me too. It was shit like this.
Is this free association?
Do you know what the Gestapo was? Abu Griahb is not analogous at all. Two completely different (both awful) things.
Your photos were taken in Afghanistan.
The Gestapo operated domestically
You're splitting hairs. The United States arreats people without warrants, holds them indefinitely without trial, tortures them, and kills them. It's been doing so for over 20 years. I don't care where they're doing it. I care that they're doing it. You can "no true gestapo" at me all day long but that's close enough for me.
It's not splitting hairs at all, they are important distinctions.
Why? Are American lives more important than Afghani lives? Does torture suddenly become acceptable once you cross a national border? You know el Salvador isn't part of the US either, right?
Are you incapable of good faith discussion? Who the fuck said anything about one thing being better or worse than the other? They're just different, and the distinctions are important.
Supermax Prison, not just for brown people anymore
