Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
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.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Floridas surgeon general is a stupid piece of shit, and is such a disgrace to medicine he shouldn't even be allowed to hold a tissue.
but lets face it, These are the kids of anti-vax parents.. Who weren't going to obey a quarantine even if it was ordered.
That doesn't make the idiot surgeon general right, or blameless, before someone tries to jump on me for that. I'm just saying that we should know these types of people by now. Someone says do X to protect others, and they actively do the opposite of X because MaH fReEdUmBs
Only way you're gonna get these people to fucking quarantine is if you put barricades around their house and have 24/7 guard rotations (and even then, there's a strong chance you'll end up with some nutjob right wing officer who will let them come and go as they please anyway, cause like I said.. this fucking cancer goes deeper than the surgeon general)
The bad part is antivaxxers aren't all right wing idiots. There is a large number of them who vote dem. This goes a lot deeper than just politics at this point. The level of homeopathic health has more people than ever believing in it.
I've never met an alt-med/antivax loon, even the real hippy dippy barefoot ones, that didnt lean right.
but i guess maybe some exist somewhere.
My city is full of crunchy granola hippies who are barefoot and are pro-tolerance, BLM, etc. They would absolutely not vote right.
But they would absolutely be antivax and try to heal you with chakra magic or rosewater.
Since the pandemic antivax is overwhelmingly conservative.
Before then it was fringe hippies... who were also often conservative, they just smoked weed as well.
O I'm not saying it doesn't skew one way, but there are a lot of people on the left who are the everything in the stores are poison types.
If they’re breaking the law they should be arrested. Endangering kids? Take them away. All we have is the rule of law. To suggest anything else is ridiculous.
