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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

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.

Is the Lemon Party image still around? That would be horrible...

Figures that the right hates "socio-emotional learning". Could maybe help make people less shitty, and that'd mean fewer conservative voters

Emotional intelligence is a four-fold better predictor of economic success and family stability than is intelligence quotient. The right has always been about preventing people from managing their emotional reactions. Their whole shtick is trying to control other people so they never actually have to learn to control themselves. It's literally always projection with them.

I'm not gay right now but possibly when I retire I'm gonna retire as gay. This ruins all my gay plans! What's wrong with these guys? There's nothing wrong with two perfectly sound of mind adults loving each other mentally and physically. I think we just need a federal law to protect us all from religious nuts. The LGBTQ+A acknowledgement act of 2024? How about that? Need some bacon on it? Okay, in small writing it allows the invasion of Iran, and 3 trillion aid to Ukraine. Oh, and Republicans can own slaves now, but here's the catch, the slaves must be Republican originally and white and can only perform sex acts as slaves. If you own a slave you must carry said slave around with you at all times. Can that work? No? Ok if you're republican you can have sex with your own relatives given that your relatives are already Republican on their own and have down syndrome insurance paid for before the acts. Abortion will be fully illegal for any Republican male, punishable with removal of the balls or entire penile removal if it was outside of the Republican party. Also Republicans reserve the right to bare arms and run diesel engines within the confines of their garages... Preferably at the same time. Garages must be made bulletproof.
