Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!

Cops? They all deserve to be killed. You believe in this quite matter of factly.

Maybe the author was struggling to find examples but this could also be trolling. The biggest problem with this strategy is that the right actually wants all that crazy shit to happen. Zero abortions, jail all the homeless, machine gun turrets along the border, impossible divorce, and teaching creationism as a hard fact? That's their paradise!

I genuinely want more dead cops.

Excellent article. Just came out as gender queer. It's terrifying being myself, but I 100% agree. They'll keep pushing because it's my very existence that offends them.

Putting myself back in that binary box feels like death, because it is. It's a spiritual death. Not just for me, but for generations of people to follow.

So, I'm going to keep dressing how I like even if it offends. Because it also encourages and inspires other people like me and you.

Your very existence is an act of revolt, and I hope it upsets as many reactionaries as possible without compromising your safety.

Holy shit that's a big paywall!

[–] Grail@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

They paywalled My articles? They're not supposed to do that, I have monetisation disabled! I can't see a paywall in incognito mode, can you share a screenshot of the paywall?

Until I get this sorted out, here's an alternative frontend

I don't get a paywall

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I just checked the link again, second time it wasn't paywalled. First time though, it only allowed me to read one sentence.

I just read the whole article now, brilliant article!

Might be a little salty for some people, but fuckem...

Thank you! If I get more reports of paywalls I'll switch to posting scribe links by default. Hopefully this was a one-off bug.
