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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

MODERATORS
I used to be one of those people. But this election cycle really opened my eyes, specifically the targeted attacks of progressive and DSA candidates(and Hasan Piker) from the establishment. They made it blatantly obvious that they are beholden to AIPAC and other moneyed interests.
Hell, during Haley Stevens press conference with Mike Rogers there was a known Israeli agent running the presser. The agent even physically went after a heckler who was yelling "traitor!" to Haley Stevens.
And while Texas flipped, Florida got tepid support at best from the establishment dems and quite often Angie Nixon was defamed by so-called moderate dems. In fact, the Senate Democrats pushed hard for wins in Mississippi while letting the bigger prize, Florida go fallow. Spending money in Florida was a two for one because there was a Governor's race as well as a Senate race. Imagine flipping Florida AND Texas!
You are correct that the Trump administration showed that it is possible to move fast when you want to. Granted, it is easier to destroy than it is to create, so the Republicans have an advantage of looking like getting stuff done when they are in "let's destroy all the good stuff" mode, but we can still move quickly but we have to drop the Obama nice routine of trying to placate people who are still going to vote against your bill even after you give them all they want. Don't worry about working with Republicans. You have the power, dictate the terms FFS!
It was wild seeing Democrats say the quiet parts out loud. I guess we're lucky that they couldn't dig up an ex of AES of any of the other DSA's to weaponize another SA allegation. (And, while I know AES didn't publicly claim the DSA label, his politics aligned him with the DSA's for sure.)
