Rules:
1. Be civil
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.
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. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
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.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
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.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Must Bernard always rock so hard, I ask rhetorically?
Why does he always have to be so awesome?
That too was a rhetorical question. Thank you, Senator Sanders.
Only Sisyphus rocks more than Bernie.
His international stances aren't good, but domestically he's solid.
Whoa. I don't live in the US but my wife has had pretty bad long COVID symptoms for nearly two years now, so I hope this passes and we see some good treatments come out of it.
Meanwhile: republicans standing around with their thumbs up each other’s asses, insisting that the real problem is people without kids, or with cats or something,
As a constituent, it’s so relaxing that whenever I see my senator’s name in the headlines, it’s because he’s doing or saying something I agree with. I, fortunately, don’t know anyone with long COVID myself, but I’ve seen how it’s absolutely wrecked YouTube STEM educator PhysicsGirl, Dianna Cowern, and if we live in a compassionate society, we should do what we can to help these people.
A good egg like you probably doesn’t need reminding, but check in on the most vulnerable people in your circles. The stigma around COVID contributes to people suffering in silence and falling by the wayside, and it’s crushing when the world moves on without us.
