Here is this weeks forum for long-form political discussion.

GROUND RULES:

• Embeds are fine but make sure they can facilitate discussion deeper than “Oh that’s neat.” or “Oh that’s bad”
• TLDR Policy: While everyone is heavily encouraged to read the articles, tweets, bills, studies in full before responding you can still feel free to post excerpts especially if they contain something specific you want to talk about
• Jokes are going to happen but try to keep them in the snark while making a larger point mode and not just a quick one-liner

OPTIONAL TOPICS:

It’s Free Period this week. Feel free to bring your own topics to the table today!
