For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

To clarify: No "this might happen" or "this may happen" or this "could lead to" type posts. I hate having so many today, but it's the aftermath of yesterday.

Also, no Biden or Harris election posts. We are in a new timeline now.

I took over this site so I could post things factually happening and kind of keep track for myself. Please join in if you'd like, but I'm pretty strict about the vibe.

I like the vibe here and appreciate the curation.

Definitely agree that only concrete "will happen" or "is happening" articles should be posted. News outlets should take note of that.

Thanks, I appreciate it. The trolling has begun, I'm trying to cut them off at the pass. We'll see how it goes.

Edit:

News outlets should take note of that.

They're most of the problem. I've heard from many, even close friends of mine, that "the news didn't cover it, so it must not be important." Sometimes they didn't, but usually it's just drowned out by all of the crap.
