People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Only so much non US Americans can do about the orange though. . .
So, all those do not constantly need to engage with American politics.
This is not about American politics. It's about ALL politics, period. And how do you define what is and what isn't politics? It's not exactly a trivial proposition, and the decision lies all in the hands of a few right skewed mods, just like on Reddit, and just like on Reddit they abuse that power to silence opinions that they don't personally agree with.
Alex Pretti is just US-American politics though. Nobody outside of the US has any other opinion than that this was a public execution by the police. We just don't want to continuously engage with bad faith actors online. This is something Americans have to fix themselves.
