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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

MODERATORS
Republicans have been destroying the evil system for years, and this year's been blatant with the destruction of the department of education. Not explosions, but close.
It's like the bastards in Washington are trying to make the next generation of terrorists.
Growing up seeing your community relentlessly bombed can't lead to thinking kindly towards those responsible.
Call your representatives again. Tell them they're creating future atrocities for your kids. Because they absolutely are
Do you happen to have a better source?
It's being fairly widely reported, though most sites seem to say 498 schools damaged, not 600. CNN, for example, or Al Jazeera. The source is a statement by the head of Iran's Red Crescent Society, Pirossein Kholivand. Here's an Iranian news agency giving more details of his statement. Of course, we need to bring media literacy to this and remember that truth is especially hard to discern in wartime.
Thank you for the reply, but I can't find anything on the number of schools hit at the CNN or Al Jazeera links you provided. Am I just missing it? They say the live coverage has ended, and then there's a link to their ongoing coverage, but nothing mentioned about the schools. 600 is a pretty big number (though even one is too many), that's why I'm asking.
From the CNN article:
In Tehran province, strikes have affected 275 pharmaceutical, health and emergency centers, 498 schools and 17 Red Crescent centers, Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) said, citing Pir Hossein Kolivand, head of Iran’s Red Crescent society.
The Al Jazeera link has the same number:
The damaged structures include 62,000 homes, 281 medical centres, hospitals and pharmacies. Additionally, 498 schools had been damaged, as well as 17 rescue points and 12 rescue vehicles.
I see it now, thank you.
