Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

It might but it better happen fast if he wants to gain back any protest votes.
Fuck if I know. It's tradition at this point. How far in us president history do we have to go to find a president that didn't kill a bunch of brown people?
I don't support biden. I'll give him credit for the good shit he did but I'm voting for him to avoid the US becoming a theocratic fascist state... Faster than it already is at least.
It's not avoiding it, it's making it happen slower.
I think you've forgotten how religious Biden is and how much he's talked about that influencing his positions.
Why do you think he's essentially ignored Roe V Wade being overturned? He doesn't want abortion to be legal due to his religious views.
He did an executive order, but it accomplished nothing. And that was just because midterms were coming.
And the way he's encouraging cops to go after peaceful protesters?
He's saying the same bullshit about protesters trump said about BLM protesters.
Biden isn't against fascism, he's against the other team being in charge of it.
That's what happens when one side turns the fascism up to 11, and the only other option is obsessed with meeting them half way.
The best result is slightly more than half fascist.
And that hurts turnout, and low turnout is when the fascists win.
The best way to stop the fascists, is to fight them, not compromise with them. That shit doesn't work.
Yeah, I literally acknowledged that.
So what, don't vote and do direct action instead?
Withholding support is direct action.
Direct action to support a fascist takeover of America. Fuck's sake have we learned nothing from his first 4 years? Hillary was a flaming piece of shit but if she won we would still have reproductive rights in America.
It's the same as threatening a union strike to force concessions for collective bargaining.
The strike isn't the goal, but being willing to do it gives you power to negotiate.
Again, Hillary was such a huge piece of shit that the voter turnout wasn't there. Trump was the result of that protest. Dems responded by giving us biden. They won't learn. Biden also barely changed course from the primary protest vote.
Hilary lost because she chose to alienate her progressive caucus and run a campaign focused on her opponent instead of her own policies.
Now that you mention it that does sound familiar. Biden should have the benefit of hindsight.
Like I said. They won't learn 🤷
A strike means things stop. A protest vote means things go backwards, as if there was an entire workforce of scabs waiting to swoop in when the strike starts. There's no leverage.
Think of everything leading up to the election as the strike, and the company going bankrupt from the strike as the result of the election.
Joe Biden isn't religious. He is a progressive activist. He is the clown, and you are in his circus. Furthermore, he and Nancy Pelosi are globalist first, progressives first, nationalist last, Christians last.
Oh yes, because Christianity is so evil, it proliferated compassion across the world. It ended slavery, created Just War Theory (a moral approach to war), proliferated the concept of human rights It culturally ingrained into its followers the concept of secularism, and egalitarianism. How far the democrat party has fallen. They fear the Bible and Orange Man so much, genocide is an acceptable trade-off. You must really hate Jesus.
It is...
It didn't...
The Bible is pro slavery...
Lol
It supports fucking slavery and says a wife is a husband property, and sexual acts unless for reproduction is a sin and should be illegal...
I'm not going to keep going, because I haven't hit a truthful thing you've said yet.
Are you aware that Western culture is Christian culture? Was Jesus a poor man or a rich man? Was he submissive or a conquering hero? The greatness of a man is his accomplishments... is it not?
You must think that atheist ended slavery, that the Civil Rights Movement was atheist. Martin Luther King Jr was an atheist?????
Right, because creating the first welfare system was an act of inhumanity. Feeding and clothing the poor was an egregious act.
The humble, meek, Christian fundamentalist who devotes his life to poverty is absolutely disgusting. For some people, poverty is disgusting.
I had to chuckle at a left-winger the other day when he told me "communist are anti-religion," then I prepare for it, a link that shows that Christian Communism existed long before the Bolshevik Revolution. Communism comes from the Bible. Read the Book of Acts, Acts of the Apostles, read your Bible, and learn the scripts of your program
The staggering irony. Find me a self proclaimed fundie Christian in government who has actually tried to help poor people.
Find me this, find me that. Who are you, my mother?
My dude, your religion got hijacked.
