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.


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. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

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.

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.

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.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

They stand for whatever the ruling elite that own both them and the conservative propaganda networks tell them to stand for.

We cannot defeat the boss without first defeating the minions. We need to end conservatism.

"The package is also running headlong into the schedule in the Senate, which is expected to begin the impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on April 11."

OMFG... The priorities.

GOP's apparent only governing principle: Only we are allowed to do anything.

But then they don't actually do much.

"DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE BORDER!"

"Okay. Here's everything you want."

"Everything we want? Forget it. WE DEMAND A TAX CUT!"

"Okay, here's your tax cut."

"HOW DARE YOU!"

They stand for facism, racism, hatred, cruelty, bigotry, anti-rationality, god.

The people who wear a bloody torture device on necklaces to commemorate their savior who was tortured to death on said device isn't bloody enough for ya?

Khorne is honourable and honest. Khorne will never stab you in the back or lie to you. He'd stab you in the front, shouting obscenities in your face.

Blood for the blood god…

Corn for my Khorneflakes.

Khorne - God of Truth (technically)

Republicans govern by the safe assumption their base just won’t see stuff like this in their echo chambers. It’s sad. Biden needs to blast this stuff openly and force them to defend it.

Even more braindead than that, they file it under "bad thing that happened during biden presidency"
