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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Remember fellow americans, vote uncommitted if you're gonna vote in the primaries. The recent push for a ceasefire and sending of aid is a direct result of uncommitted voters. Keep it up until he stops going above and beyond to assist in Israel's genocide. As liberals love saying, vote your conscience in the primaries, vote blue in the generals
Remember Americans, this is what Joe Biden would have happily continued until the very end, until he realized it would cost him the election.
Do you really think Trump who desperately seeks the approval of every strongman in the universe would have stood up to Netanyahu to tell him to stop?
The “But Trump” argument is disappointing after reading the article.
They probably only looked at the first picture, didn't read the article and almost certainly didn't look at the photos at the end of the article.
Biden could have stopped sending money and weapons to Israel but hasn't, Biden and Netanyahu starved that boy to death.
In the primary vote uncommitted, in the general vote Biden and down ticket for all the most progressive candidates you can.
Oh, is Trump on the democratic primary ballot?
This movement is to vote uncommitted in the Primary to force Biden to pull back on his genocidal Zionist ideals before the election so he has a chance of taking those uncommitted votes and turning them into Biden votes.
Aid air-drops are not good enough when bombs and guns are still going from American armories to the Palestinian slaughterhouse in the West Bank and Gaza. The only solution the Americans have is to pull funding and armaments going to Israel and then have talks about a one-state solution with Palestinians and Israelis as equals in a non-religious non-ethnostate.
No, I don't. Do you have any more hypotheticals or do you want to talk about the real world?
In the real world it’s a real election year with a real chance Donald Trump becomes president again. Really. So yes, it’s really obviously relevant and important to keep that in mind. In the real world you have to look at the options available to you and act on those realities.
Can we talk about the current president and his actions or not?
If you post a statement clearly aimed at inducing negative sentiment against Biden, it's natural for me to assume that you favor Trump.
Why else would take the time to write a comment like that?
It's super weird to assume that criticizing a politician automatically means someone supports the opposition candidate.
Because there is a fucking genocide going on being supported by the current president.
Criticism of the man aiding and abetting a genocide surprises you?
It’s called priorities. When you’re an adult there are levels of importance
I believe it's called Uncommitted in a few states.
That's the word I was thinking of, Idk if I saw it called unaffiliated somewhere else or not lol 🦆 thanks friend
Fuck your duck! I raise you my 🐦
Oh yeah? Well 🐓
Just voted “No Preference.” Was disappointed I couldn’t support a genocide. /s
My state doesn't let me vote unaffiliated. It doesn't even let me leave it blank or write someone in. So I guess I'm voting for Dean Philips in the primary. 2024 is getting weird.
