I'm pretty sure that's a reference to the midterm elections in November 2026

Social media post from Senator Chris Murphy: Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It's a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states

I definitely think your post is misinformation. What the commenter told you is quite different from what you reposted. Bondi made demands but no promises. It's probably actually worse than what you posted, but accuracy matters.

    Thank you for your comment. I think your standard of accuracy for defining "misinformation" in this context (lemmy.ca/boycottus) is too high and would discourage people from posting or participating in this community. If I saw more comments or votes in support of your position, I'd delete the post

    ...you could easily point out the actual truth in the post body. And my position is relatively popular if you look at the thread.

    68 upvotes on the original comment calling this out, alone.

    Also what is this idea that facts matter less in specific communities?

    Alright dude I just reported the post since you are incorrigible.

    What??? incorrigible? I extended a good-willed offer for you to supply the change that you were requesting, and in response you report me to the moderators?

    (Edit: You've wasted a good amount of mine - and now the mods' - time I'm using the block button for what it's for)

    I gave you a chance to fix it and your response was for me to do it. Whatever dude.

    You didn't "give them a chance", you practically demanded it. If you're not willing to do yourself what you demand of someone else, then you shouldn't demand it.
