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.

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!

American history lessons on Native American genocide, the Trail of Tears, slavery, Jim Crow, Black Wall Street, segregation
Inspirational American stories of immigrants, civil rights leaders, and queer activists
There's a lot of room here.
Or the Declaration of Independence. There was a time when some organisation tweeted it line for line and MAGA saw it as an attack on Trump.
This ain't an America worthy of a pledge.
How about a daily prayer for Trump to die?
It worked for Kirk..
I think it was a witch that put a hex on Charlie. If we get enough of a collection we can put a MASSIVE hex on Donny…
iirc they hired several witches
As an American, I want to see more anti-American programming. We deserve it.
Oh, they mean what happens every morning in american schools?
I think it’s a case of oppinion for me being pro America would be to protect the American constitution and founder values of freedoms, report abuses of power, abuses on the constitution. So I glad they are supporting more reporting on this to be pro America. Right?
Whats great about this is you can have whatever picture in picture you want and be doing whatever seems appropriate. Im thinking of selling american flag tissues.
The FCC can go fuck themselves
FCC OFF
All I know is there are many plumber positions open nationwide that need to be filled since they don't want to do their jobs. Might as well be effective about it and not lone wolf too
Do some actually pro-America stuff to report on first. Or does he think that the tail wags the dog ?
I think we know how an administration that employs Kristi Noem feels about dogs
I do not pledge allegiance to a fascist country. I haven't placed my hand over my heart in 10 years. I would sooner burn the flag than pledge.
I have also instructed my children to no longer pledge either.
Still sign national anthem?
I pledge allegiance to no nation, my allegiance lies in humanity and morality
I know in many ways this is an attempt to brainwash folks into ultranationalism, however I also believe its more so an attempt at a "gotchya" that doesn't work anymore.
I remember when they started forcing us in highschool to do the pledge every day, and anyone who opposed it was being chastised as an anti-American and "ungrateful to the brave soldiers who fought for our 'right' to pledge".
I don't think these stupid assholes are gonna have that same "gotchya" anymore. I think more people than ever agree the ultranationalism in the US is cringe, fascist and based in lies.
I did the pledge of allegiance in elementary school. You just did it. It was unthinkable not to. Then they stopped with that bullshit.
Then I learned they changed the pledge to add the under god part and that was the moment I realized it had all been bullshit propaganda.
This sorry sack of shit makes Ajit Pai look good in retrospect. 🤮
I still cannot believe how stupid they must think everyone else is to have posted that nonsense he posted about net neutrality. Ajit is still an asshole.

Hahahaha no.
This is how you force secularity on the population. I think they don’t have as much support as they think they have. Most people don’t want their weird paedophilic religion.
It's actually pretty easy.
Project 2025 was highly unpopular. People just didn't inform themselves before voting. I know people who voted for Trump who started freaking out about Project 2025. And I am here like "it was public, they didn't even try to hide it."
In their mildest defense knowledge existing doesn't mean it's accessiblity is known, if you don't know you should even be looking for a threat how could you possibly react to it? This is honestly the true threat of the right wing media bubble as a whole, it silences outside information with BS culture war, xenophobia, and generally inane slop. This is why I firmly think if you want to break the right ya need to remove their talking heads.
Jesus H. Christ when will this fascist nationalist shit end?
When we start removing them.
There's only one pro-american program i'd like to see.
Stay tuned for the seasonal finale of We Got The Guillotine, where someone very famous will shit himself on camera for the last time!
Pro America programming:
Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of our nation. Acting to disenfranchise citizens from voting with plans from our current administration of jackbooted paramilitary thugs at polling places is a threat to America.
Wish granted. FM 105.3 will air the pledge of allegiance 24/7 recited by the most symbolically patriotic person in america—Donald J Trump.
There are no ad breaks, no subscription fees. Just pure, uncut, America.
Are these assholes going to demand "equal time" on all the hate radio networks?
