Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


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. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


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.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Walz has also responded to criticisms that he may be viewed as too liberal.

"What a monster!" Walz quipped on CNN. "Kids are eating and having full bellies so they can go learn and women are making their own healthcare decisions ... So, if that's where they want to label me, I'm more than happy to take the label."

This is 100% how it should be handled.

Deflect the bullshit and pivot right back to the issues.

Too many Dems instead try to convince people they're not progressive. We need to keep it on issues instead.

Voters agree with progressive policy, they're just brainwashed to hate anything labeled "progressive".

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Exactly. And Waltz has an excelent track record for deflecting bullshit. I can't wait to see him in this new role. I'm just sad that we need to find a replacement governor in MN.

I want MN to do some proper nominations, but Peggy Flanagan will be just as good for our state in the meantime until 2026

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Exactly. She'll be great. I just don't think she can win an election unless she really blows it out of the park before then.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Yes, this is the way to do it!

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Yes! Love to see such expert handling of the common conservative framing on issues.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Foockin FINALLY (scottish accent)!

I seriously think Imma overdose off all this fresh air 🥵

because I know half of you can only understand things if its in a meme

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 23 points 2 years ago

I do love a good meme but McMahon is a rapist who regularly puts his employees in mortal danger with little safety.

(Lemmy doesn't let me zoom in to your pic)

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Ugh. yeah, the standard template for this one is just low res. lemme see if I can remake it.

edit: doubled the resolution, not sure if it helped.

[–] a_baby_duck@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Might be time to try a different client then. No issues zooming on Connect, for what it's worth.

On jerboa you click on the image, it opens, and you can zoom and move.

He didn't have bone spurs.

The Atlantic reported that in private conversations, Mr. Trump had said: “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers,” and called the soldiers buried there “suckers” for being killed.

Before he died, my grandpa was a lifelong Eisenhower Republican. When he served as State Commander for the VFW, he got to meet Walz while Walz was campaigning for the legislature. From that point on, my grandpa supported Walz all the way to Governor. I don't believe we need to "reach across", we need people like Walz to convince them to come across themselves.

Knew absolutely nothing about this guy before today. What a boss.

"Turkey is meat". "Not in Minnesota, turkey is special". 🤣
