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!

Jesus, dude, it gives trans teens a little more time with their medication. It’s not nothing and it’s not where they’re stopping. Learn how to take the wins you can.
Does it though? My point is that the administration is just ignoring the courts at this point, and the more the courts get in their way, the less trump is going to concern himself with what they say. Court injunctions are great if they work, and that remains to be seen.
Trans people's rights being used as a political bargaining chip with the right is in vogue now, I guess? "Self-censorship for thee and noise for me" is a very unproductive strategy in the long run, and no doubt amplifies the percentage of non-voters.
Not that you want to leave them behind, I'm honestly not sure what you're saying here. It seems like you're making an argument to only block things that are really important because Trump will only give us a limited amount of takesiesbacksies, which would be a hell of a statement about something meets the technical definition of a genocide against Trans people.
What I'm saying is that Americans who still have faith in the system need to wake the fuck up. The US is a failed state. trump is going to keep doing whatever he wants, he's going to ignore the courts, and the checks and balances that are supposed to stop him are all controlled by republicans who aren't going to do a fucking thing.
In order to show people he's going to ignore the courts it helps to have things the courts have told him not to do, no? If that also comes with a modicum of protection for trans people that seems like a win, at least in the minor ways we can expect during a fascist regime.
