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!

The Mamdani Act would amend existing immigration law to prohibit the admission and naturalization of any noncitizen who is or was a member of, affiliated with, or advocates for a Chinese communist, communist, socialist, Islamic fundamentalist or other totalitarian party—or any organization that advocates those ideologies. Under its deportation provisions, a noncitizen already in the United States could be removed if they engage in advocacy for socialism, communism, Marxism or Islamic fundamentalism, distribute or publish material promoting those ideologies or hold membership in affiliated organizations at any point after admission.

You know he is a much needed anti-toxin, especially when they name a bill after him. Let the healing begin.

This is just empty suit posturing. The US already deports whomever for whatever reason. This is just a douchebag trying to stand out in a field of douchebags. Sit down and shut up forever, Chip.

Does this encroach on first amendment or can they just ban whoever they don't like under the guise of national security?

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It does encroach, but they'll still go for the ban.

Another performative bill that can't pass, just like the freshly failed SAVE Act.

Nuremberg 2.0 is coming.

I really hope with the same results for all who are in the regime. There is only one justice for this type of evil.

It's so on the nose. You have to wonder how it's real.

Okay then let's deport Trump.. His policies are funneling borrowed money into the hands of the world's richest men.

Who wants to dig McCarthy up, stick him up on a cross and prop him up in this guy's front yard?

[–] ShutUpWesley@piefed.zip 38 points 2 days ago

Freedom of speech, unless it's speech we don't like

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 36 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Remember MCarthyism? It's back - in redneck form!

“cynically used to disadvantage American workers' competitiveness in favor of mass-importing the third world.” Seems to me Socialists aren’t the ones who have been exporting American jobs to “third world countries”… seems like more of a Republican, Billionaire Epstein class kind of thing. Perhaps we need to review who really needs to be denaturalized and deported.

Yeah, I'm sure immigration agents just, "know a commie when they see one."

Fuck this regressive shithole of a country! Goddam!

Yay! Free violations of the first amendment!

[–] Yaky@slrpnk.net 19 points 2 days ago

I know literacy is not their strong suit, but current immigration law already prohibits being a member of a communist or totalitarian party. There are exceptions, of course.

[–] DarkSideOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

First amendment is very clear you cannot make any law that would limit speech

We need 100 years of McCarthyism towards right wingers and fascist ideologies
