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.

Biden needs to tell Netanyahu to fuck off. Biden is killing his chances at reelection with this. And with that, democracy in America cuz we all know trumps fascist plans. I am fucking furious about this.
Why can’t he just be a normal president and funnel weapons to terrorist enemies of the state using the CIA black account. $150mil is a literal drop in the bucket for DOD cost centers that legally cannot be audited.
The Dems win one election and throw it all away trying to appease fascists, only for fascists to choose their guy instead and further drive away the left.
Liberals just can’t stop aiding fascists, real fucking curious how it just keeps happening throughout history.
Except this time after 80 years of suppression of leftist ideology, nobody is here to fight for the liberals. I’ll watch them get dragged to camps with a smile on my face. Yknow since I’ll already be in the camp anyway.
You’d have to be an idiot to vote for trump regardless of whatever Biden is doing
Nobody is going to vote for Trump because of this. But it WILL cause enough folks to get dejected and not vote at all, and that's all it'll take for Trump to win. Democrats need a candidate people can be excited about voting for, or they WILL lose.
The "but the other guy is worse!" approach won't work this time.
I’ve in no way shape or form voted or would vote Republican in my life, lol
But we deserve another option. I think Biden will lose
ranked choice when
When the GOP and Dems both think they'd do better if we had other options than them.
I.e. trick them
Why are you acting like he's not doing this of his own desire? Biden is a zionist like 99% of other American politicians. Netanyahu isn't making him do this. He's just doing it.
lol how did you get that from my words? That’s just u.
You need to stop idolizing politicians, Biden is no saint
In what way did I idolize?
What did you expect from a 127 years old guy?
Think I'm gonna vote for Trump just to shut up Biden's genocide supporters.
If they don't want me voting for Trump, they will have to run someone other than Genocide Joey!
Lol ok grandpa
You could vote 3rd party but I feel you prefer Trump and want an excuse to vote for him.
You'd be wrong about that, but I feel like you're the kind of person to believe whatever he wants.
So instead of voting for a 3rd party that's actually anti-zionist, ur gonna vote for one of the only people who could make the situation worse than genocide Joe?
People keep telling me Trump is in bed with Russia, who is in bed with Iran, who is in bed with Hamas.
Which is it?
He literally moved the us embassy to Jerusalem. He's definitely not pro hamas
So he's going against the will of his Russian overlords?
Thats how beliefs work. They aren't beliefs if you don't believe them.
Trump isn't pro Palestine either way you are voting for Mr Grab em by the Pussy because you want to what? Own the libs?
That didn't make sense, but do what you gotta do.
I don’t agree, but I understand.
Nice try donnie
