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.

January 6th will be fun

lmao no, Biden isn't going to block the National Guard from arresting everyone if people try to attempt a coup again. Enjoy your night in military jail waiting to be handed to the feds.

True. However there would still be incredible violence, bloodshed, and discord. It might be even more chaotic and destabilizing for the nation than it was in 2021.

It's time that the boot lickers learned how the boot on the neck feels.

No mercy should be shown to these traitors.

[–] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 1 points 1 year ago

Criminals should still be shown compassion. Eye for an eye makes the world blind.

I would also like to share this story in the Washington Post (arc'd) about how some Republican states are refusing to allow DOJ election monitors in even though that seems like a violation of federal law, but every time I try to post it I get an error message

I wish them the success of Ashli Babbit

Unhinged. These people are not well.

Patrick Byrne, the former Overstock(.)com CEO who donated millions of dollars to efforts investigating the 2020 election, warned on Telegram this week of a cyberattack that would rig the election and lead to imminent “death and cannibalism” unless Americans stand together.

Pretty sure making threats like that is a crime

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You found a threat in that word salad???

[–] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

*Sentence with more than ten words or two commas

*Americans so used to dumbed-down soundbites - "Is this a word salad?"

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm so confused as to why citizens are donating in order to help investigate an election.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

It's probably Oligarch money.

Load up on tear gas, Capitol Police.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Trump is on record as being tough on criminals so the cops shouldn't hold back and play nice.

Sandbags and machine guns.
