Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

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 biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Describing an 18 year old as a "teen" certainly is a choice. And not one commonly made when the person accused of a crime is black.

14-year-old man posthumously charged with assaulting an officer and resisting arrest

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

wat? Last time I checked, a number that ends in "teen" is a "teen".

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Their point is that standard is only applied to white people.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah I can read, but all I see is the claim.

MAGA is a cult and a terrorist group.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 54 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A teen who understood what Trump meant by "fair" elections

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Agreed. This is expected and desired.

Preview of Tuesday.

Vote early if you can.

Each and everyone one of these people deserves the bed they shit in.

From an outsider point of view, the next week is going to be fucking wild.

Key displayed a photo taken by a witness of a smiling Williams “brandishing a machete in an aggressive, threatening posture over his head.” The Harris supporters he allegedly threatened are women aged 71 and 54.

As opposed to just calmly carrying a machete, below one's head, to a polling place?

And to a 71 year old woman... just can't imagine the colossal failures as human beings that this guy's parents must be as well.

[–] IMNOTCRAZYINSTITUTION@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

gonna break out my most hick outfit when it's time to vote. don't need anyone getting funny ideas.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My wife and I are Southern socialist libtards and usually vote in camo. We've debated open carrying but decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you go too far you might actually dissuade some delta-cuck soyboy libtards from voting.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So less spoiler effect for Stein? Sounds pretty win-win to me.

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

haha.

I don't think voting works like that, unless Stein is actually expected to win some EC votes.

I think if USA actually had some form of PR it'd be a very different kettle of fish.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

This checks as being just the sort of 18 year old who would support Trump. They probably have a long list of right-wing podcasts on repeat.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

people already wishing we could go back to drop box fires.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Fucking boomers amirite?
