Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

I have never once, before this, heard of bikelanes as DEI. Man, the righty sphere is so wacky.
"Anything I dont like is woke." Is now just "Anything I dont like is DEI."
Its a big part of why I disagree with the backlash against saying retarded. People who want to be hateful just move the goalposts and make the acceptable term a slur. Furthermore anyone who calls a mentally disabled person names is a "CUNT" not "a person of dubious personal character"
...so it should be fine to say slurs because otherwise new words become slurs but also using slurs makes you a bad person so you shouldn't do it?
Not fine but the message is more important than the words.
Calling someone who says hateful shit with the right words a retard is not worse than the hateful bastard. Idiot and Moron both have old roots in discriptions of people who were probably mentally handicapped.
