News about and pertaining to the United States and its people.

Please read what's functionally the mission statement before posting for the first time. We have a narrower definition of news than you might be accustomed to.

Guidelines for submissions:

Post the original source of information as the link.
If there is any Nazi imagery in the linked story, mark your post NSFW.
If there is a paywall, provide an archive link in the body.
Post using the original headline; edits for clarity (as in providing crucial info a clickbait hed omits) are fine.
Social media is not a news source.

Thankfully, this hasn't come up yet. This march in Ohio is probably going to be the smallest (10 people) but certainly won't be the last.

As we won't see the sort of blowback we did with Charlottesville this time around given the wildly different political landscape, this isn't a one-off.

After discussing with other site leaders, this feels like the best compromise. Such art can be triggering for some, but open Nazism in the U.S. can't just be ignored, and photos can be of more utility than text in some cases.

Marking NSFW or placing CW: in the title are both perfectly acceptable. We're likely not going to remove anything if you forget to do either, this is mostly a post about being nice and accommodating where we can 💜
