Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I am a 45 year old white dude, with a 40 year old white wife. We have 3 white children. I don't fear the rise of hate and fear. But my best friend and his family are black. I think about them, and my gay friends, and I have fear for them. If there ever comes a time that I must pick up a weapon to defend my friends, I will. I do fear another battle against this threat of racism and fascism, but my black friend has enough guns for both of us.

Rant over. I just hate this shadow of bullshit I live under. The stupidity and willful ignorance.
