Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...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!

Utah = bad or whatever

There's only so much a court can do in the face of a hostile and unrepresentative legislature, but to its credit, Utah's supreme court has refused to let a near total abortion ban take effect, and just in the last day they slapped down the legislature's attempt to gerrymander the state against the will of the people.

Believe it or not, even with almost all the power in the state held by the Mormons, with some of their crazy beliefs, Utah actually has a lot of sensible legislation on the books and regularly makes common sense rulings easily.
