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.

I often see the argument "Which part of your country would you be willing to cede in the name of peace?"
Normally this would be a valid argument, but in trumps case, I'm sure he'd gladly cede California or some other blue state if it meant he gained something from it. He has no scruples or integrity, and thinks other heads of state are the same.

I can’t wait for Texas to leave. They say the want to, fuckin’ do it pussies.
Edit: yes, I know there are many innocent people there, but it’s not like the federal government is protecting them now anyway.
Blue state anyways ... \s
I would gladly be willing to cede Alabama, Mississippi and Texas for peace.
With a slightly growling Chihuahua I saw across the street.
Or like, a baby kitten that wanted my ball of string.
You know what? This conversation is concerning me, here, take my Texas, please!
I'm pretty sure most of the blue states, California especially, would be happy to leave the union at this point. What's in it for us?
Imagine all the blue states (2 of which are top 3 in GDP) left the states?! I'll gladly accept Cali and NY into Canada!
As a Canadian I accept California as our next province.
I'm sure a lot of California (except from the meth counties) would like that too these days.

Wait take Illinois too we're good with it I promise
Saxony. Although it's basically controlled by Russia already.
Add Thüringen too.
Dumb question, how would the electoral college be reallocated if a large state like California left?
It needs to be realocated even now and it isn't. No reason to think a secession would change things.
Florida
honestly any that wants to leave (by a democratic referendum) and doesn't cause any exclaves or enclaves to exist
