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!

Don’t know this person and hope we don’t need to publish her name anymore. It’s exactly what she wants to happen.
She was a huge anonymous figure in attacking gay and trans rights for years, often targeting 100s of thousands of followers at specific people. She was doing this in the cover of darkness.
Her actual name was only discovered because of investigative journalism, and 100% should be attached to all of the hateful actions she takes. She does not want her actual name published along with these attacks, so we absolutely should continue attaching it.
Having your name attached to hate speech is less undesirable these days so who knows
Or you can do what conservative media does and establish strong associations between her name and her hateful rhetoric such that when people hear Chaya Raichik, they also think of her leading to the death of Nex Benedict or Lying Libs of Tiktok or whatever.
You’d think the media might figure out not to give publicity to “hate influencers”. Jfc
She had millions of followers when she was anonymous, and was very, very upset when her identity was revealed.
This is no different than naming stonetoss or other hateful agitators that hide behind anonymity.
If you can teach them to make money by doing so then you might be on to something.
