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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.
Obergefell v. Hodges was decided based on the Equal Protection Clause. This is the second ruling in the last few days that seems to go directly against that idea. I am honestly worried they are going to use these rulings as an argument that you don’t have to treat people the same in every state and overturn equal marriage among other things.
Similar terrible rulings regarding slaves and where they were legal and not legal were part of what led to the US civil war.
Fucking theocratic fascists.
It's way worse than that.
They essentially crippled the standing for citizens to sue the states for violating their rights, so long as the states violate them the right way.
Because who gives a shit about the babies after they're born?
Republicans must really love cancer
They are a cancer...
They share the same goals: endless growth even if it kills the host
I say I say these wimmin best git back tuh a-fearin GAWD and thur MEN, git back in the kitchin, but also work full time, tend chaps, and hand thur pay over to the men so he can pay bills, pay the side dish and TITHE!
The filibuster is only used to block things republicans and centrist democrats don't want to happen.
It has been used once since trump took office, to block nothing.
