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.

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.

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 House on Saturday passed a $95 billion aid package that includes two long-awaited bills with $60.8 billion of Ukraine aid and $26 billion in aid to Israel.

The Ukraine bill, which passed with 311 votes in favor, 112 votes against, and one present, will now head to the Senate alongside the Israel aid bill and two others — one with aid for Taiwan and another that forces Tiktok's parent company to sell it.

It's not about affordability at all. The people that are willing to loan the US money are only willing to loan the US money for guns and bullets to go to Israel, money to Ukraine is good as long as its for more guns and bullets because weapons have a great ROI. Healthcare for all in the US has poor ROI so there is no point t to it. People are replaceable here in the US. That's why they're trying to push through AI way too early on us all.

With the coming Grant's Pass Supreme Court decision to legalize slavery against homeless people coming soon, who needs regular employees. Just CCI Prison Slaves for all your manual labor needs. Also, all the former abolitionist states have now passed total gun control legislation so people will no longer be able to break out their slave family members from their prison worksites.

I never wanted to actually live in the Cyberpunk 2020 world. I was just hoping for some of the bonuses instead of all of the negatives.
