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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

For some clarity for those out there only reading headlines, LA in this case is the city (Los Angeles) not the state (Louisiana).

The joys of acronyms. You may think LMAO means Laughing My Ass Off but really it means Licking Many Asses Often.

Increasing maternal mortality obviously.

Don't forget the push to have more babies at the same time. There is an active push for higher infant mortality.

Well you see some short term pain is worth it for the long term gain, only the strongest babies will survive. /s

Maternal mortality was already crazy high. This will also increase infant mortality.
