Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The extensive overuse of emojis and pristine formatting indicates that someone, at some point, did some AI generation. Down to the maps, flags, and extensive linking. Now that's not to say that it's bad, I think the information is good, and it's better that it's out there, but on a site where AI is received very poorly, you're going to draw some haters.
Besides the Big Picture section (which I wrote myself), all other sections were written collaboratively by me and my co-admins in a self-hosted Etherpad that our sysadmin hosts, where we can see each other type in real time (if we happened to be working on it at the same time, I could visually see a co-admin slowly write or rewrite a part they were working on). We put a lot of effort into formatting them because each section would be pinned on our instance for our users to see for an entire month. Even still, we would find typos or mistyped links after they were posted and correct them.
I was the person to start adding emojis to distinguish between sections, and I went to the effort of putting in the emoji flags for the union section since that part in particular is added to the end of every monthly post as a resource for our users.
Our instance is explicitly anti-AI, I have posted Anti-AI documentaries and articles multiple times across the threadiverse, and I have personally created communities such as !pixelart@retrolemmy.com where the rules explicitly do not allow AI generation.
At no point was AI used in any form in the writing of those sections.
