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.

…and people kept saying he was compromised by Russia.
How silly!
That moment when you say what will the attorney general do on their first day? Appease Russian Oligarchs. Okay...
well, this was expected, right? i mean, you know one of the side effects of trump becoming president is russia annexes ukraine, just gets the whole fucking thing, and publicly executes it's current leadership and enslaves it's populace, right?
Just as Putin commanded him to do. Trump is a Kremlin asset.
I studied the cold war in school; I could have never imagined that one day the US would be controlled by Russia, but here we are.
Russo-American Mercantile
Always has been.
Half the worlds bingo cards are already full
I'm laughing but also crying 😩
Kremlin asset.
Anyone thinking this is done for the good of the USA should really stop doing drugs
Maybe rename it to Injustice Department.
This is one of the main goals, hidden by the flood of everything else.
Well it was the attorney generals first day. And she ordered this and to disband the team that looks into Russian election interference in the u.s.
I’ve worked on DEI company groups before, all employee led. I can see some awkward argument around preferential treatment / reverse racism / whatever stupid term they want to use to cover bigotry. But internal employee groups that help build community are not causing the egg prices to go up. This is a waste of time and resources. Doesn’t the AG have more important tasks, like putting kids in cages or something?
Did you mean to post this comment in response to the post about Russian oligarch asset seizure?
Yeah. Why are people upvoting something that doesn’t even apply to the story?
I think the bots have arrived in force. Maybe Trump and Musk were so confident about their win prior to November 6th because they had an army of LLM bots online shaping everyone's opinion.
Just half? What about the other half then!?
They all left the middle spot blank thinking a free space still existed in this world
Good thing, Democratic youth stayed home and didn't vote for "Genocide Joe", and the majority of you here on Lemmy said at the time, "yes, understandable, good show, damn israel, do not vote for anyone you carrent not to my good people of the university commons, spread the world far and wide on national television, every fucking night, all spring and all summer and all fall in an election year, disrupt democratic candidates on the election trail, do it all, i bless you and keep you dears to my very own heart, you rapscallions"
Well, no one voted for"Genocide Joe" because Biden was not in the election. I'm sure there were a number of people, though, who abstained from voting for Harris because she also did not represent their wishes for the situation in Palestine, though to me that feels like being a single issue voter.
I don't understand the quote or run-on sentence of yours. People should indeed try and campaign for candidates they believe align with their ideals of governance.
though to me that feels like being a single issue voter.
There were a lot of those, and many of them are still defending that choice in the face of everything happening.
Good thing the Democrats decided that appeasing a foreign government was more important than representing their own citizenry and winning the election. Their part in this whole thing was entirely their own choice.
Especially those people who claimed "it's the most important election in our lifetime." They should be outraged that Biden and then Harris, knowing what was at stake, chosen to ignore their base and the American people in favor of some wholly corrupt foreign government. This was low hanging fruit that they left to rot.
So they're going back to strongly worded letters? Maybe the icc?
doubt it he is also sanctioning the ICC.
I wonder how much the program actually seized. Imagine if we took all that money and used it to help people.
Just kidding, we probably built like 2 F-35s.
$300 billion in Russian assets between the U.S. and Europe. Most is in Europe of course, as most yaughts don't sail across the Atlantic and sit
Not sure if same program but didn't we send alot of money to Ukrane that was seized Russian funds?
Looks like yes - the G7 seized about 325B and the interest yielded was the basis for the 20B sent to Ukraine. I fear that now, it'll just get returned to their owners.
