A senator and two members of the house felt that a minority class of people should have their children removed from them, and invested the time to draft legislation and introduce it to both the house and senate simultaneously.

That, all by itself, is notable. We don't want to wait until this passes to start discussing it. The fact that it came up at all is the well past the point where we should be talking about it.

You are describing yourself as a social activist. That's fine. But hackernews is a high-quality discussion forum so populist activist techniques won't work here. Perhaps you could try on websites such as Reddit or TikTok instead? Or wait until a credible media source is discussing it, and try reposting.

What does that mean?

Are we only allowed to discuss topics that "credible media sources" already discuss? I was raising the concern for discussion here after posting a source link.

You seem to unwilling to actually engage in discussion about a notable change in American politics?
