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, 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.

She is now permanently on the right side of history with women like Irena Sendler, Corrie Ten Boom and many others who resisted nazis to help save people.

Yeah, I just hope she's not harshly punished for it.

She probably will be. They want people to be too afraid to help each other.

[–] mHtt@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

She is a hero that prevented an attempted kidnapping.

its important we call out the propaganda

The Underground Railroad was also illegal. But we obviously celebrate it today.

A real American Hero. Very appropriate name lol

I'll donate a crowbar to her cause

[–] Gpennyhigh@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That's courage, the magas and ice are cowards. Weak people who hide behind masks and cause suffering in the world. Courage wins over the cowards.

"What are you in for?"

"Human decency and compassion"

"Yeah, that'll do it"

We need more people like Chloe Freeman.

Freeman’s employer did not see it this way. When police questioned her (thus collaborating with ICE), she openly said that she disagreed with ICE separating immigrants from their families. Trinity Health fired Freeman and has refused to make any public statement on the events of May 28. It is criminal that this and other hospital systems allow ICE and CBP agents to enter medical buildings.

Hope this good hearted lassie gets some local support and legal representation.

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 58 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Legal support, sure. But in addition to being prosecuted, she was also fired:

Trinity Health fired Freeman and has refused to make any public statement on the events of May 28. [...] This non-profit is the sixth largest U.S. hospital system, with 125,000 employees, and one of several Catholic Church affiliated systems that operate dozens of hospitals across broad swathes of the country.

So this aspect isn’t just legal, or local.

[–] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago

To be fair, the health system is as criminal and malevolent as ICE.

[–] protist@retrofed.com 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Having previously worked for the "Catholic" hospital system Ascension, FUCK Catholic hospital systems. We used to be a local system (several hospitals in one city) that provided top-notch, academic, and ethical care. The nuns would walk around and hold motherfuckers accountable. I watched everything degrade quickly after Ascension took over. The nuns left, and slowly everyone in leadership, who used to be experienced doctors, nurses, and social workers, were replaced by people whose only experience was in business.

Ann Arbor is a generally considered a progressive college town. Odds are likely many locals have her back

The Freeman has done a good deed, and for that, we salute you.

Heroes don't wear capes. They're just like all of us, but they one day... They decide to be better.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago

That's a fucking hero if i've ever heard of one.

[–] CptOblivius@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

It's not the public's job to aid in the arrest of people.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 days ago

She better be getting the best legal representation possible.

[–] lemonsorrel@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

There are real heroes. You should stay where you are. I think. I don't know.
