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.
“Through counseling” my shapely ass.
Through literal torture.
The pdf available at the link is a doctoral dissertation from BYU by a man who I knew personally. He is fortunately quite dead now, but in life he helped spread the practice of applying punitive eletric shocks when the sensor on your pecker detects your interest in the pornography he also provides.
These fuckers are monsters.
We’re on our way to state-sanctioned physical and emotional torture. They won’t stop at trans people, or gay people, either. When one group loses their rights, everyone does.
Yep, the statement from RFK about sending people on anti-depressants to migrant farms should scare the fuck out of people. This admin is getting better and better at snatching people up and their supporters not giving a flying fuck
How long until they pass a law forcing all LGBTQ+ people to suffer this torture? Are they going to force them to wear pink triangles again? Awful.
Trump boosted an article from the Washington times using that exact triangle yesterday…
I just ordered a handful of enameled pins that are just a pink triangle.
I’m going to start wearing one long before they mandate it. As a sorta standard-issue looking cis man, the world needs to know that, no, you cannot count on me to be nice about any of this shit.
Things are different this time. All us queer folk are well aware we are not alone and how hard we have to fight just to exist.
The world needs to know that we exist in large numbers and we are EVERYWHERE.
Gee ... I wonder how Trumps Supreme Court will decide.
That's the thing, it's anybodies guess. They've been kinda all over the map lately.
I hold out little hope they'll do the right thing but i have been surprised before so here's hoping i guess
