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!

They say history repeats itself, but I thought we were kinda over the holocaust thing for a few more centuries.
Well, there's a war in Europe, we had a global pandemic, and fascism is on the rise, so we're just doing an early 20th century rerun.
Of course, history doesn't exactly rhyme, which is why Israel is the one doing the holocausting this time.
You would think they, of all people would know better.
You are far too optimistic a person. They forced sterilized 25-50% of Native American women in the 60s and 70s who sought medical treatment or care, some were pre-teen. Native American women are still far more likely to be sterilized and at younger ages than non-natives.
Did they get serial numbers?
I need to re-read the article. I thought they were talking about haitians. Are you the Vegan in the room?
I could never be vegan, I want to enjoy my food.
There are lots of tasty vegan recipes. You should try them some time. You don’t know what you’re missing out.
Some parts of the world are over it. Some parts have failed history, and are desperate to make the same mistakes again. And here the US is not even the worst offender. One wonders how Israel has forgotten 1933-1945, and tries to find an Endlösung for the Palestinian question...
