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!

Summary

Ku Klux Klan flyers targeting immigrants have appeared in Ludlow, Kentucky, and other cities, urging immigrants to "leave now" to avoid "mass deportation."

Distributed on January 20, coinciding with MLK Day, the flyers sparked outrage.

Ludlow police called the material "disgusting" and pledged to pursue charges if possible. Officials from neighboring towns also condemned the propaganda.

The flyers reference KKK recruitment, anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, and link their actions to Trump's immigration stance, including proposed mass deportations and birthright citizenship challenges.

It should be legal to run the KKK over with your car

Don’t worry, conservative immigrants who voted for your führer, just tell them you’re not like those other immigrants, and they’ll let you stay, for sure. Scout’s honor!

If the police is calling your racism disgusting… you’ve sunk lower than the Mariana’s Trench. Well done.

Plot twist, the police were the ones posting the flyers.

I mean, it’s nice they gave them a head’s up? Hmmm. Maybe I shouldn’t keep hitting snooze on my “buy a gun” reminder.

Before you even buy anything, take a safety course first. Even if you already did when you were a teenager. Knowing gun safety and practicing gun safety are 2 different skills, and the consequences are deadly.

It’s required in my state before purchasing, so I would be.
