The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

My little niece just turned 19. Weeks before her birthday, she was diagnosed with cancer and is currently going through chemo.

These people can go to hell if they think they can put her even more at risk because of whatever shitty agenda they're pushing.

Party of freedom.... fuck you, fucking fascists.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Wishing the best for your neice

Thank you. She's an incredibly talented writer and ridiculously creative, thoughtful, & kind. She was only just starting to live her life independently, and it was ripped away from her with the diagnosis.

We need to advocate for those who struggle to / are unable to do so for themselves.

I'm severely immunocompromised. Let them try and get the mask off my face. I'd prefer to hit them with my cane, but in all honestly, it would be more effective to sue them on federal ADA violations.
