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.

Foreign interference, extortion, conspiracy to extort a third party, more libel and slander than you can shake a Trump at, persecution of dissidents both internal and external, state censorship of dissent rivaling that of China and Russia, ditto disinformation campaigns..
And that's not even all of the (mostly) NONviolent ones.
Clearly, there's no depths of depravity that would condemn any other country to sanctions if not "preemptive" invasions that the US won't fucking CELEBRATE when coming from the most moral inherently genocidal apartheid regime.
Its because we need them to enforce the Petro-Dollar and the middle east. It has nothing to do with morality and everything to do with imperialism and economics. We are once again sacrificing people at the altar of Mammon in hopes He keeps our sacred currency rates high.
51st state.
No... US clearly belongs to Israel, not the other way around. This is what happens when politicians are bought and Americans have been conditioned that you can never say no to Israel or you're an antisemite.
US clearly belongs to Israel
Close: Israel is an integral part of the Military industrial complex that owns 99% of American politicians.
Puerto Rico: y'all getting statehood?
They already got a few progressive House members ousted with AIPAC money. Now they can use this information as a threat.
Aw is Israel trying to sick its dog on others?
Fuck off Nazis.
And Biden is gonna do it.
Cuz you know. 4 million in campaign donations over the years buys a lot of loyalty.
The donations would be enough, but Biden is an actual believer of Zionism and has been very clear about this for his entire political career. He'd do it for free.
That too. We really need to end Citizens United and get rid of foreign-interest money.
I think this has important ramifactions for all non white Americans. The response to this will show, whether non white people are allowed to demand justice, or whether just asking a court to rule on a case, so the mere access the judicial system, is reserved to white people alone.
It does not matter if the face of an administration or party is black, asian, a woman or of whichever marginalized group. The fundamental question is:
Will people outside the white supremacy be allowed to seek justice from an independent court or not?
Every Friend Of Israel US Congressman and UK PM is by definition a Traitor (as are any other members of a governing body anywhere that represent a foreign power).
Getting rid of the traitors working for foreign powers within US Politics is how you start solving this problem.
