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.

Yes that was the whole point of the November election. Not enough people sent their message but 77,000,000 Republicans did.
You got a fuckin time machine, pal?
No. 77,000,000 Republicans wouldn't even be able to figure out the instruction manual anyway.
Look, there's no use crying over spilled milk. We can either sit in the dirt and pout that the democrats lost the election while people catch life in prison without even being charged with anything, or we can keep moving forward. Which do you want to do?
All that would do is take you back. The garbage will still be there.
Go back to the 1970s first and stick 2 years worth of 1970s McDonald's into a stasis "refrigerator" / stasis box. Take those back to 1911 and give Taft his first taste of addictive food. Continue to give Taft McDonald's as much as he wants, until he dies. Roosevelt now wins the 1912 presidential election, and we have a much better timeline. Not because of the inclusion of Roosevelt, but because of the exclusion of Wilson who really got the ball rolling on this shit.

It's time for ICE to leave NY. Hochul and the other governors need to pull the trigger and outright ban the agency from operating in the state. The fed is already pulling funding across the board for state programs and dismantling the agencies that keep states running when a crisis hits. All of the carrots are gone and Trump is waving his sticks around for no fucking reason anyway. Innocents are being taken off the street and students are being harassed and expelled.
Yes, there's probably nothing to legally give her that power, but there's nothing legal about any of this.
Hochul is too busy trying to ban masks to do anything
Serious question, are these emails going straight to peoples personal inboxes, or through a secure government mailbox? How would you know the email is not spam or phishing if it goes straight to your personal email.
Also, how easy would it be to mass email all politicians and government staff these same emails and see the shit hit the fan?
Hypothetically, could someone pull a list of ICE employees and send repeated emails to quit ICE or else...and include home address,phone number, social, etc...since it's all available now anyway.
What a Shithole
