politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

To anyone unsubscribing: Remember to subscribe somewhere else instead. If not you're just helping Bezos achieve his goal of the death of journalism.
@[email protected] is one good alternative.
As others have said, if you want to hurt Bezos, target Amazon.
This was the straw that finally got my wife to agree to let me cancel prime. I wanted to as soon as add were added to video. Sadly it auto renewed on the 10th of Oct :(
This exact thing happened to me. I cancelled anyway and they refunded most of the subscription fee. Just do it. Wish i could have told them why I was cancelling.
404 media seems nice
Most of the web runs on AWS good luck avoiding Amazon
Just about a third anyhow. Remember the great fiasco where an engineer was turning off one server and mistakenly turned them alll off and Facebbok etc was down for 6 hours? Like a goddamn dream... a wonderful place.
My favorite news source is Democracy Now

And here's their site: https://www.propublica.org/
Some reasons I think they're neat:

As a species we're clearly doing our very best
