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.

Fellow Americans,

You know when the news blows up because one of our citizens has been taken hostage as a political prisoner in some authoritarian country? And you know how that makes you not want to visit or do business with that country?

We’re now that authoritarian country.

Canada turned her away and she was detained upon re-entry into the united states.

Cool, regardless of what terms she might have broken. She is still a human, they can treat her like one.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

But that's not profitable

she went backpacking and did housekeeping at her stays in exchange of free housing, then she got detained for seeking employment on tourist visa, jailed for weeks for stealing our backpackers' jobs

Who the fuck reports someone for that

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Becky, a women with Zooey Deschanel hair and a golden retriever named Bo Jangles.

She’s a classic Tren de Aragua mule. I bet she also listens to Sylvan Esso and pickles onions grown in a community garden.

She probably even has a butterfly tattoo on her ankle. Tren de Aragua confirmed, no need to investigate further

America has been a backwards country for decades, but now it's starting to really fester.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

The infection has been festering and swollen for decades, we just kept rubbing dirt and covering it up, letting it get worse.

Now it’s quite a bit harder to cover up and ignore.

[–] HexPat@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months ago

I’m so embarrassed

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

She feels bad for the people left behind in the detention centers.

We should lend a hand.
