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!

You don't say... How completely unexpected, especially since a child was already killed directly because of this.

I really should write for newspapers. You don't have to have jack shit for skills or subjects anymore.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The Federal Bureau of Investigation is tracking increased numbers of threats against both Jewish and Muslim Americans in the wake of the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, bureau officials said Sunday.

The greatest potential threat of violence in the United States comes from lone actors, who can be hard to detect because such people are typically not known to law enforcement officials ahead of time.

officials said they had not detected evidence that Hamas was trying to direct attacks in the United States by its supporters, Mr. Wray said it was possible.

“We cannot, and do not, discount the possibility that Hamas or other foreign terrorist organizations could exploit the conflict to call on their supporters to conduct attacks on our own soil,” Mr. Wray said.

officials said that they were reaching out to faith leaders to discuss potential threats against their communities, and that they had asked local law enforcement to take additional measures to protect Jewish and Muslim religious facilities in the United States.

There have been a high number of antisemitic threats in recent months, but the Oct. 7 attack unleashed even more, senior F.B.I.


The original article contains 263 words, the summary contains 188 words. Saved 29%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Imagine making major life choices based on things a random person says in front of a camera. You're not the "hero" you think you are. No one is going to celebrate your "sacrifice", not even the talking heads that coerced you into it. No one is going to one day realize you were "right all along". You're dumb as fuck, just like the rest of us, now fucking own it, like a fucking man, and leave everyone else alone.

Somehow "whites" will be blamed for both
