Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Remember when the government was shut down specifically because the Democrats refused to go along with a bill that ended the health insurance subsidies, and they had the Republicans up against the ropes because no matter how much they tried to dodge the responsibility, the majority of people blamed Republican intransigence for the shutdown?

Then remember how the Schumer-led Democrats just completely folded, passed the bill, then stood idly by as the chance to extend the subsidies vanished?

Every single one of those stinking traitorous shitbags needs to be primaried.

So, the problem is the “primaried” thing isn’t enough at this point. People are going to die because of these choices. Eye for an eye.

definitely a comment that would get you banned from reddit

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And even though it won't get you banned here, it surely is being documented by Palantir and putting us all on "lists."

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fuck Palantir, it's Google that's the devil.

Don't fear the state, fear the profit driven corporations.

They're the future, and it begins now.

I don’t think you understand the depth and breadth of what Palantir does, and who uses them.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I am fairly confident that's what all these AI companies and GPUs are for to make their own Palantirs or just to run their software. Palantir is basically creating Skynet or any of those cyberpunk type movies where a cop plugs in a persons name and it gives every detail of who they are and a summary of what they did the last week.

That has basically already been done to Palestinians with Microsoft Azure.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Which is strange since Republicans usually love bible quotes.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Everyone who voted to end it isn't up for a primary, or so I heard back when this happened.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

It's like... It was planned.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

schumer was protecting the dems that are up for re-election next year, i think there is at least 13 dem seats up(its likely these that are also supporters.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

schumer and his DINO acolytes are pretty much gop lite from the start. they had no interest in trying to upset the status quo of the donors. he specifically chose the 8 dems that are retiring or not up for re-election in '26, in order to protect the DEMS that are up for re-election next year. if 8 of them wernt chosen, then 13 wouldve voted to open the govt. look at those 13 DEMS, if they are in your state they need to be primaried.

the airlines are getting nervous so they reminded SCHUMER and thier pets to open the govt back up.
