Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

It’s a shame that if he does, the people that deserve to pay for it won’t.
Coming out of my check I'm sure.
Waste fraud and abuse.
I assume it's going to come out of DHS or ICE-allotted funds.
So...I agree. Yes, it's our tax or debt burden, and yes, that's infuriating. But the money has already been stolen from us. Now the only question is, is that money going to be used to accelerate fascist policies like the end of due process or not?
So drain the bank, please. Every dollar for judgments or settlements is a dollar not spent on racist, unconstitutional immigration policy.
It's a pity he doesn't have a way to sue Trump and noem personally.
Breaking news. Earlier today the body of.........
the body of....government responsible for this mess appologized, and gave Khalil 40 million dollars instead. Straight out of trumps personal wallet.
Right? RIGHT???
No. That doesn't sound like this timeline.
Ooooooh, they murdered him. Ok. That fits this timeline much more realistically.
See, in the other timeline everyone got ice cream and a blowjob.
Man, I could really use some ice cream and a blowjob right about now. How do we hop timelines?
Don't need to hop timelines for that! What kind of ice cream do you want?
I get ice cream headaches so.......
Yeah, you can come over to our timeline. You just have to give one of us living in the other timeline ice cream and a blowjob.
And since I'm the only one you know with the ability to timeline jump....
zzzzziiiiippppp
Chocolate chip cookie dough please! With butterscotch topping!
What sucks is - this admin is going to rack in enormous legal debts that then going to come out of my taxes
"Khalil said he plans to share any settlement money with others targeted in Trump’s “failed” effort to suppress pro-Palestinian speech. In lieu of a settlement, he would also accept an official apology and changes to the administration’s deportation policies."
What an inspiring and good human being. Holding out hope we see some justice ✊
