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!

Top Trump official Stephen Miller's recent declaration that anyone who "preaches hate for America" will face deportation has ignited alarm online, with critics warning the statement disregards First Amendment protections.

Social media users and legal analysts raised immediate concerns, pointing out that expressing dissent or criticism of the government is protected under the First Amendment. Some worried the administration was veering into authoritarian territory.

The backlash has reignited broader debates over the limits of free speech, especially as civil liberties fall under scrutiny. While immigration enforcement remains a core theme of President Donald Trump's platform, critics are increasingly questioning whether rhetoric like Miller's is a precursor to more aggressive suppression of dissent.

Put Trump and his family on the first boat then..

Skipping the first amendment would be making some speech illegal. With like a law and courts. They are also skipping the 5th, which would be due process.

If America wants people to stop hating, maybe instead of trying to wipe it's ass with the first amendment, it should stop cultivating hate with it's actions.

If America wants people to stop hating

What makes you think that is on the agenda? Hate is their specialty. A divided people are no threat to the oligarchy. Hate for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Wow, what a dumb thing to claim when you have surrounded yourself with “free speech absolutists”. They are going to lose it on him, right? …. Right?

[–] mx_smith@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

This kind of speech that Miller is speaking sounds very unamerican to me, so let’s deport him first.

[–] BlackSheep@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I'm really sick of these fucking Nazis.

A line has been crossed, especially if you've ever taken the oath of enlistment or office.

It is time to defend our constitution.

"Veering into authoritarian territory"?! They set course for that the moment he was sworn in and floored it, have you not been paying attention?!

Not American but I hate the USA's current administration. I am neither ashamed nor scared to say this. I presume this would be labeled as hate since I can't see why their definition of "hate" wouldn't be incredibly vague so as to hurt as many people as possible.

[–] xenomor@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Just for the record, I hate America and I think you should too.

[–] Asswardbackaddict@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Hey, I might be able to become a Canadian refugee. Sweet

[–] Mist101@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (4 children)

So, where do we ~~get~~ have to go when they deport us? I'm Irish/Scottish from about 400 years back, so my ancestors were literally here before the USA existed. Do I ~~get~~ have to go back "home"? Because I've always wanted to go!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago

Yeah I don't think it'll be funny anymore when you're on a plane to El Salvador.

The fact that we have nowhere to be deported to is literally the point.
