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.

Project 2025’s 180-Day Playbook is a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.

Perfect time to teach Biden a lesson by not voting for him -- or so I've been told by those with too much privilege and not enough brainpower.

Or you could say that this issue and all the others mean so little to the Democratic Party that running anybody but Genocide Joe is off the table.

Hi, it's me, a Palestinian American, how about don't use my people's plight to justify letting the guy who wants to deport my ass for liking Knaffeh get into office?

I have enough issues without truck nuts McGee feeling re-emboldened to call me Sand Nigger and Towelhead.

I’m not the guy who wants Trump in office. I’m just the one who doesn’t want to vote for somebody who is repeatedly bypassing Congress to send weapons to literal fascists committing war crimes. That’s someone I can’t just hold my nose and vote for. His political career is over.

Why can’t we have any of the other people who ran in the 2020 Democratic primaries instead of Biden? This idea that it absolutely has to be Biden or else the DNC will let the country fall apart with Trump is so completely messed up.

Back in reality, the choices are a) vote for Biden, b) vote for Trump, and c) don’t vote. That’s it, those are your choices.

Just know that options b and c help Trump. You can bend and twist reality in any shape you want, but that is the actual effect of those choices.

So ask yourself, do you want Trump as president?

I remember when republicans were about less government. Pepperidge farms remembers….

I remember when republicans were about less government.

They never really were. They've always been the party of corporate cronyism, with "less government" only ever applying to institutions from which they couldn't generate profit.

Small government has only ever meant minimal regulation. It means nothing when it comes to civil rights or liberties.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

I wish it meant minimal regulation.

But set aside abortion and immigration. I'm seeing some crazy efforts to regulate the solar and wind energy industries. I'm seeing efforts to restrict how municipal governments can operate education and transportation infrastructure. In Austin TX, the state government threatened to take over the municipal police department. In Houston TX, they removed the Independent School District and installed their own flacks. Texas law prohibits state agencies and political subdivisions (“Governmental Entities”) from contracting with businesses that boycott energy companies, discriminate against firearm entities or associations, or boycott Israel, which has an enormous impact on the statewide financial system.

So, I'm seeing lots of statewide regulation.

Conservatives need to be banned

Its 2016 all over again.

Every effort to drag the Democratic party over to any kind of popular position is getting labeled as a betrayal. Every effort to oppose Republicans at the state and local level is denounced as uncivil. And as soon as the dust settles in November, the national media will fall in love with the winner, and grow increasingly irate at anyone critical of this abysmally unpopular tumor of a Presidency.
