Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

A grandmother planning to document ICE arrests at the San Diego courthouse instead became the story Tuesday after video of her own arrest began circulating.

An ICE agent accused the woman of pushing her. After she spent hours in custody, she denied that to NBC 7 on Wednesday.

Hope she sues

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 14 points 4 hours ago

Aw, the mean little old lady pushed the big, friendly ICE agent? Should we call a WAH-mbulance?

That grandma pushed me! Time to lock her in a room for 12 hours

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

you know how physically dangerous 81 year olds are

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 5 hours ago

Nevermind physical, they can hurt feelings! They’re basically witches.

Arresting LITTLE OLD LADIES is what Manly Man Mans do!

[–] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 70 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

What the fuck is wrong with people?? Even if she DID push them, which is ridiculous to believe, an arrest iis going wayyyy too far. Give the lady a citation and be done with it.

Pigs.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 5 hours ago

Going way too far is the point.

This is about oppression, not about justice.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 62 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

If she pushed them, how was she the one with bruises?

This was at a courthouse. There are cameras everywhere. It's lies. It's intimidating rightful observers and protest.

Ice are terrorising little old ladies. Hopefully those that don't care about due process will at least care a out that.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Not to take away from your point but depending on their health little old ladies (or anyone really) can get a bruise from a gentle breeze. ICE agents are still pigs and as a reminder to everyone I don't eat halal.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 82 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

ICE is committing crimes against humanity. Masked criminals stalking our country. I hope they all get it one day.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Be the change you want to see in the world

America is a cesspool pool of rot. A pathetic useless nation run by a convicted rapist, racist, and authoritarian fascist who’s failed every single company he’s ever been given or bought.

Fuck America and every citizen that supports Trump and every citizen that does nothing to take him down.

[–] PwnTra1n@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago

Look man I’m too dysfunctional to cook breakfast. I’m sorry trumps a thing but I didn’t light that one

[–] PTSDwarrior@lemmy.ml -2 points 3 hours ago

Good to know there’s still Jews that aren’t bigots on board with all that Trump is doing.
