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.

This is the first time I'm learning about the USA's second lady and I did NOT expect her to be what Trump would refer to as a DEI hire
Even more interesting is that her mother (VP Vance's mother-in-law) was instrumental in advancing DEI at the university she works at (UCSD).
I would pay a lot of money to see a journalist ask JD Vance if he approves of his mother-in-law's work in promoting DEI. Just knowing how awkward that next family gathering would be would make it worth it.
I’d actually pay for a newspaper printing Vance’s mother in laws opinion of her son in law.
Their family dinners must be fun... /s
Why do we care what Randi's think about their mother in law's? It's not like this Vance guy is important or anything.
Goddamn zing holy shit
DEI is just something they're using as a dog whistle. It's always about class first.
She's rich, so he's an honourary white
Though, really shows what an absolute wanker JD Vance is, since under his administration is certainly going to be way worse be to of indian decent in his country.
What a shit husband and father.
Don’t forget, his own wife is a dei import, dude can’t find himself a good American woman so he’s got to outsource. Irony is dead.
I am having such a hard time squaring that with how he talks and acts; unless he is bideing(bidding?) his time till the orange idiot is gone and is planning on an uno reverso, but it sure doesn't seem that way.
Biding?
Probably lmao, sorry sometimes I suck at words lol
No worries.
It's the same as good ol' Mitch. He can hate others and not in one specific case. Being racist doesnt mean you have to be all the time.
What I don't get is how she could marry him. Who signs up or stays with someone who promotes hate for every aspect of yourself?
Right? How can she wake up and think "This is all okay, I'm good with this." I mean, I have the same question for Melania too, but I assume that was all for money and what not.
Then again you have female Republican voters and minority Republican voters, and farmer Republican voters... all who voted for their own destruction so I guess I shouldn't be too astonished.
Yeah, very true. Just, so sad. And disappointing. Ugh, I hate this timeline.
