Dear fascist media... Sometimes it helps to distinguish between people seeking work, refuge, etc. from a drug that ruins lives and kills people.

I don't know what I would expect from "insightcrime" though.

Yup, my neighborhood for has all the MAGA going on about how Trump made everyone flinch, despite pointing out Mexico and Canada are doing literally nothing they haven't already promised to do.

Reality doesn't matter to Americans.

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.

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.
