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!

Thanks! I appreciate it!
Fuck cancer
Amen! And I aint even religious!
For what it's worth, in 2022 I had Stage 3 thyroid cancer that had spread throughout my neck. Very treatable but still a mind fuck to hear the C word. The floor just falls right our from under you. I made it out ok and I am sure you will too.
Best of luck to you. I hope you kick its ass promptly.
I wish you all the best. Take care.
Sorry to hear that 😕
Fuck cancer. Go kick its ass and take good care of yourself. Wishing you a low stress recovery during your time away. Thank you for everything you've done here.
I see it as yet another opportunity to invite RFK Jr. to eat my entire ass! LOL. Thanks for the kind words!
Take care you yourself.
That's the plan!
Godspeed, soldier, and thank you for your service up to now. You’ve been a persistent voice of reason on Lemmy, and I’ll miss seeing your input, but taking care of yourself comes first.
Hoping all goes well for you, and I’m looking forward to hearing how you beat cancer’s ass!
You go and kick that fucking disease out, you hear!
I look forward to hear about your recovery.
Best wishes on a speedy recovery!
I wish you well. Good luck!
My best for a thorough and speedy recovery!
What a nasty little bit of news to get out of the blue. You must be reeling right now. Wishing you all the best.
Well, it wasn't entirely out of the blue, there were biopsies 6 months ago and they sent me photos, which made me go "Hey, that's fucking cancer!" but the people with actual degrees in this were saying "No, no, it's pre-cancer."
So on the one hand I get to tell the doctors "SEE! SEE!" 😉
When they pull something out of you that looks like Tetsuo from the end of Akira... yeah...
Tetsuo from the end of Akira… yeah…
Way to paint a picture, man 🤣
Good luck!
All the best homie
Good luck.
5 year survival rates are up to 70%, with rates in the 90%s for several types.
I already beat a 50% 5 year rate on the heart stuff so I got that going for me! 😉
Take care of yourself. Glad you caught it early.
Hopefully you'll be able to get a scan in the state you're already in, and not have to go to CT for it.
Oh yeah, I have a good team of doctors!
Good luck, and tell your insurance company I said they're a bunch of bums
Oh, they KNOW! 😉
Cancer killed my mom. Good luck.
Best wishes!
All the best in your fight. We'll be here in your corner with cat pics and all the memes whenever you need.
Definitely take care of yourself and best wishes.
Cancer is a common enemy. Best wishes
Good luck to you
Argh, sorry to hear that, but at least it sounds like it's very early in the process. Hopefully it's easily treated and you're back in no time.
I wish you all the best.
