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.

come from countries staging an "invasion or predatory incursion" of the U.S.

That's quite a stretch here. Wonder who could show standing to challenge it but I would think that would require some kind of military threat from these countries to be upheld.

Its invocation to target migrants from countries with which the U.S. is not actively at war is almost certain to face legal challenges.

Looks like it will be challenged in court.

Especially when a majority of the migrants have come legally on work Visas and such and then over stayed those Visas. Hard to call those people invading when they were here via legal processes.

One of my proudest Achievements in my first term was to create SPACE FORCE, the First new branch of the Armed Forces in over 70 years... Now that Space Force is up and running, I think it is time to use them against the ALIEN ENEMIES that have overrun the Country. As President, I will invoke the ALIEN ENEMIES ACT and use the SPACE FORCE to finally rid our ONCE GREAT COUNTRY of these - in many cases very bad and evil- ALIENS.

What has Space Force even done?

Shouldn't they drop that Agency before making cuts to NOAA?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

But dropping Space Force doesn't make poor people's lives worse.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IIRC the space force basically just is taking what was air force space command and spinning it off into its own branch. So they'd not be doing much that wasn't being done before so much as making that operation independent of the air force, same as how the air force used to be part of the army.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, just added even more managerial over head and made it even harder for joint missions. Space Force still uses Lackland AFB (or whatever joint base it is called now) for its basic training. It probably is mostly just still Air Force basic training

You don't know that they aren't conducting zero-g battles.

Remember, the enemy's gate is down.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

They've constructed very pretty offices on air force installations from what I've seen.
