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.

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.

They do this all the time. Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.

They're all in there talking about upholding the constitution when the SCOTUS ruled against them, defending America while accomplishing nothing with their silly razorwire which has had no impact on immigration, calling the US Government Traitors as they themselves actively commit treason.

There is no end to the Irony. They even parrot the line about standing with Abbot even though Abbot can't hardly stand from his wheelchair.

Aside from the jab on Abbot's mobility i agree.

Then again, you pay me 18k per month I'll sit in a wheelchair too.

They do realize that without Texas, the United States will probably never have Republican leadership again for decades at least, right? So if they don't live in Texas, they are kind of screwing themselves.
