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!

OKLAHOMA CITY–Senator Dusty Deevers issued on Thursday the following statement on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a national leader in the fight for truth, faith, and freedom of speech:

“Charlie Kirk was a bold defender of truth, an unyielding advocate for free speech, and a tireless champion for America’s founding values. Most importantly to me, he was a faithful evangelist proclaiming Christ crucified to millions,” Deevers said. “Charlie inspired countless young people to stand courageously for liberty without apology. His passing is a tremendous loss not only to Oklahoma, but to our nation.”

To honor Kirk’s memory and continue his mission, Senator Deevers encouraged the legislature to prepare to enthusiastically pass three measures recently introduced by Senator Shane Jett, R-Shawnee, in the 2026 session:

Senate Bill 1188 – Establishes Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day in Oklahoma, to include statewide programs and discussions promoting open dialogue and the protection of Constitutional rights. Senate Bill 1187 – Requires the creation of a Charlie Kirk Memorial on every public college and university campus in Oklahoma as a permanent symbol of the importance of free expression and open discourse, and of the evil of political violence. Senate Concurrent Resolution 13 – Officially recognizes and honors the life and work of Charlie Kirk, commending his dedication to proclaiming the gospel and preserving America’s heritage of liberty. “Charlie Kirk devoted himself to strengthening the next generation to stand strong in the truth. For that, he was cut down. We must honor and continue his legacy,” Deevers said. “I look forward to doing so come next session.”

Yeah let's pass the BBB act. What's that? The Be a Bigger Bigot act. Just like Charlie would have wanted.

Fuck these ghouls.

I totally agree, guess people on Lemmy want it they keep downvoting the post. Why hide this news? We need people to see this so it can go viral and then hopefully be stopped. Fucking GOP are fucking pedophiles, as well as bigoted racist monsters. And they all need to be removed from society.
