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!

At some point Parental Rights is going to run up against Parents Who Want Their Kids to Go to College
Exactly. What happened to my rights as a parent to have my children be educated about the real world as it exists, not the fantasy hellscape that Ron Desantis wants to exist?
Most of my daughter's friends are registered to take this class this year. The school year starts next Thursday and now they have no idea what is going to happen. I'm hoping the courts step in and order an immediate injunction on this fuckery.
Ron Desantis is the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen and I hate that the majority of my fellow Floridians voted this tool into office with an overwhelming majority. What a crock of shit.
Your neighbors voted for him. Tell them it's an issue.
How to get shot 101
If you're afraid of democracy, you better go somewhere else.
Only in the US: democracy ≈ freedom to get shot
Are you encouraging someone to put their life in danger?
Apparently we have to do that ourselves because it's better to deny something to all children if one person doesn't want it.
Only the first time. This last time he was running against a former Republican governor who was running as a Democrat. I don't think he had much of a chance.
It’s time to leave Florida. We did six years ago. In Washington now and let me tell you.. it’s heaven in comparison.
If I were an Ivy League school, I'd make very clear that from here on out a degree from a Florida high school is virtually worthless without some kind of extra lessons and/or instruction. If they're not being taught the basics of history and science, then they no longer qualify to attend top-rated universities. It's as simple as that.
Parental Rights is pretty much always right wing crazies trying to keep their kids ignorant and controlled
