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.

MODERATORS
Seems like a first amendment violation to me, but then again I’m not a Bible thumping fascist
Also 14th and 19th, plus the Civil Rights Act. A non-corrupt SCOTUS would toss the Florida law immediately, but absent a couple minutes under Warren we have never had one of those.
Never fear, those "conservatives" who are such responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars will gladly waste them to defend any forthcoming lawsuits.
My blood boils every time they do this. If they just took the money they would have spent and set it on fire it would do less damage.
Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences
It’s literally freedom from persecution from the government which is exactly what happened here. Stop parroting shit you’ve heard without understanding what it means
I see you made a new account just to be a bigot. Pretty pathetic, really. Enjoy your imminent ban
