DeSantisThreatensUSA

@desantisthreatensusa@lemmy.world

About

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aspires to be the same kind of Autocrat despised by the founders of the United States. He must be exposed for what he is: a great threat to our Democratic Republic and American values. Republicans don’t punish big businesses like the Walt Disney Company for disagreeing with them. Fascists do. DeSantis and those like him are a massive threat to our Democracy.

Rules

Nazis and Putin sympathizers are not welcome here.
The tolerant, open-minded and freedom-loving ARE welcome here. Glad to have you good people : )
Attack the media and expect to be banned. There is a good reason why the press is included in the First Amendment. If you cannot respect the vital role that an independent media plays in terms of checks and balances, this isn’t the right group for you.
Be respectful of our differences, whether it’s race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
No Spam, Threats, Harassment or Doxing of any kind.
No trolling, disinformation, or low effort posts / comments.

NonCredibleDefense

@noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
Explain incorrect defense articles and takesIf you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a “credible” source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it’s non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.
Content must be relevantPosts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
No racism / hatespeechNo slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
No politicsWe don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
No seriouspostingWe don’t want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
No classified materialClassified information is off limits regardless of how “open source” and “easy to find” it is.
Source artworkIf you use somebody’s art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art’s source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
No low-effort postsNo egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.
Don't get us bannedNo brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a “haha people that I hate died… haha” punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.

@climate@slrpnk.net

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world. About 1C of total warming. Second chart: about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability. Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases. About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.
