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.

I really wish "The people I represent are against this." Would be a good enough deterrent to these monstrosities being foisted on already-besieged communities across the country.

This attack was a symptom of an underlying issue, because there's no trust in representatives anymore, after so many take a bundle of cash from the techbros and say "IDGAF YOLO LMFAO" to their constituents.

Get AI to help with the aim. Finally found a use for it.

Are you for the people? Or for the corporation? That is what is at stake these days it seems.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

Corporations have more money, and money is protected speech. 😞

Oh, look. Another "violence is never the answer" claim from the government.

While our government uses violence or the threat of violence to do anything they've wanted for the past 250 years.

Seems negotiating only ever works at all, if you're carrying a stick and they know you're willing to use it.

Back when I was a libertarian (Anarcho Capitalist, but no longer. Loudly a democratic socialist) this concept was called "monolopoly of force".

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 6 points 22 hours ago

Made me laugh thinking of ancaps pronouncing 'monopoly' like Ralph Wiggum would.

He’s worried that his son could have been in danger, while he gives no fucks about the hundreds of children who will be harmed.

What’s in this data center deal for him?

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A donation to his reelection campaign.

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Exactly. And they'll make sure to build it far away from his house

[–] Skankhunt420@sh.itjust.works 4 points 23 hours ago

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Remember, Luigi didn't do it, it's alleged and they have fucked up hard. Which is why it's taking so long.
