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.

Mexico will probably do that too...but hold on, a guy has to run barefoot from the capitol all the way to each state's Capitol. Its pretty laborious and guaraches have not been legalized for the work. In fact Neutlapatl Martinez Dela O must find appropriate sized nopales along the way for it will be much longer than just running to the tlalnepantla.
By the time he delivers the presidents message, a new us president would have been chosen. Neutlapatl can only run once more for people his age, but he is eager to do it! Gurranoptepantlaptl Lucero de Veracruz is ready to take his place. He was born 3 days ago, but will be out there practicing the art of the message soon. He's just counting down the otates right now... Zero otates....ometzontly otates...
Ma Cualli Tonalli everybody!
Sometimes I ask myself, "How does he not see what he looks like?"
And then I realize that he does see what he looks like, and he decides that this is better than what he looks like without makeup. Orange or a bloated corpse. I guess you choose orange.
Canada has every right to stop electricity exports. Yes it would affect where I live. I hope they do it.
I'm practically on the border of Canada and I truly hope that they do. I'll figure it out but we need to actually need to be taught a lesson.
Yay! We don't need a border tszzar then.
Pretty sure we had one before the demands from Trump that we do the things we were already doing. They just got a title change.
Trump just stopped all military aid to Ukraine.
R****d just opened pandoras box, the likleyhood of NATO and Russia shooting at each other has now raised signifigantly with this decision.
Turn off the electricity exports, America is a hostile entity.
How come we're allowed to say stupid but not retard?
Aren't they both insulting people for their lack of intellectual capacity?
People decided it was a new N-word because it was a medical term a few centuries ago. I don't understand it either.
And mentally retarded replaced idiot, moron and imbecile as the medical term when they became insults. It has since been replaced by intellectually disabled for the same reason.
It's the euphemism treadmill, it never ends.
Kids just call each other mentally disabled to insult each other. That’s why it never made sense to censor repurposed terms because they just get replaced with the current thing almost instantly like you said.
0% on Russian goods though...
He didn't remove the sanctions, so up to today, it's ∞%.
Tomorrow is another day, though.
Think I heard something last week about the US negotiating with Belarus to secure Potash and something else. Canada supplies nearly all of the US Potash imports. They were never not going to be putting these tariffs, seems like they were just trying to find a replacement supplier for some of the things what little manufacturing they have left vitally needs.
Also, just a reminder, when Trump was telling the American public that covid wasn't anything to worry about, he was also sending Putin shipments of covid tests and testing equipment.
Why would he sanction his bestie?
What does Russia export other than prostitutes?

Wait, I thought it was today? Or maybe yesterday? Or whatever
