Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Despite his support for Trump, Ragland has become increasingly vocal about the need for immediate trade resolution. “We desperately need to get something rectified quickly with China, our biggest export customer,” he told CNN. “We wanna encourage the administration to get a proactive trade deal done.”

Soy is not feminizing. Plant estrogens are not mammal estrogen. You have to actually take estrogen. It's really inconvenient.

You are correct but it's a common right wing myth. The Soy Boy diet making men wimpy girls was super common on right wing media.

It's also a myth that appears in trans communities on occasion. The right wing misogynist to trans-girl pipeline is alive and well.

Yeah the soy myth was based on single flawed and debunked study from the 1940s or 50s. Plenty of further research proves their shit wrong in every way.

Nearly all studies cited by right wingers are really old and debunked. They cherry pick to the one thing they can find that supports their views.

I hate how the fucking conservatives have turned it into a talking point. Soy makes me pee out my butt, but if I'm too loud about avoiding soy, people assume I'm scared of the phytoestrogens.

Oh I know, the soy thing is a stupid meme pushed by right wingers. See also "Soy Boy" and "Soy Face."
