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!

From what I hear the ESA is also an old boys club, no wonder Europe has much to catch up on.
She said she immediately knew what was happening when she walked into her weekly one-on-one with her supervisor; the meeting had an unexpected attendee. An HR representative rose from a seat in the corner as Ferreira entered the office. She was told she was being let go because she wasn't fulfilling her position's responsibilities, "effective immediately."
"When I was about to open my mouth, she waved her hand at me, and was like, 'No, we're not doing that,'" Ferreira said. "I'm hearing ringing in my head."
"They didn't let me speak in my own meeting."
The cruelty and arrogant dismissiveness of that response is infuriating to me.
Trump was just a big fan of the kill-dozer dude and wants to see it happen again
Sorry Rose, the US is a meritocracy now, and the only ones with any merit are white male republicans.
Nope lower courts are winning, and seats are flipping all over this year already
Just gotta keep doing together
This is pretty consistent with what's been happening around me. Except I've been seeing and hearing about more layoffs.
Welcome to the New America. This is our reality now.
"Yay! Great work, Rose!"
"Wait! Fuck! I forgot that we can only give attaboys to white men now. No one heard that though, right?"
I heard that...
"Fuck fuck fuck fuck.... Uhhhh.... Hit the bricks, Rose! We'll keep your DEI achievements, though."
