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.

This fucking guy presidents like he's mis-clicking the Civ 5 UI in somebody else's game looking for the nukes.

He should free Luigi then, get him back on those bug fixes

Naww... Luigi didn't commit treason, so no presidential pardon for him

Doesn't Memphis have a very high black population? Based on how conservatives have been these past couple days, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Highest percent in the nation I believe

How to tell me Memphis has a black mayor without telling me Memphis has a black mayor

[–] BanMe@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Also I think even the WH wants to avoid the optics of one state's National Guard blocking another. Which is a possibility in a Democrat-run state. This is making me nervous because I'm in adjacent Arkansas with very cooperative Sarah Sanders and the high-crime-rate LIttle Rock... fuck me

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 6 months ago

He only wants Democratic cities in Democratic states. Arkansas already surrendered easily, and is already under voluntary MAGA control.

The fuck did Tennessee do?

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 66 points 7 months ago (3 children)

They agreed to invite the troops

Chicago was going to resist officially, legally, and physically on the street. So Trump chickened out and picked a city that would accept a troop presence

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

city that would accept a troop presence

If they bent over any harder they’d be licking their own asses.

Besides being cowards the few magats with brains also realize that they do not actually want all out war.

If they start shoving large parts of the country, then those parts are going to shove back. It's significantly easier to keep going at slower pace that invites less resistance. They're going to work towards disposing smaller circles of groups they dislike until they feel comfortable enough to deal with the rest of us.

needs another distraction from epstein, after the KIRK shooter turned out to be right winger, so not useful anymore.

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 28 points 6 months ago

THEY ARE AFRAID. KEEP GOING

Why not to Utah, to hunt down right wing Groypers?

Did ICE already meet their “execute people in the middle of the street” quota for Chicago?

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Most likely the orange turd forgot about Chicago after the latest stroke.

so they're all just cool with him continuing to deploy the military against his own population again and again, cool

It is what Charlie would’ve wanted. Brutally repressing people’s rights.

It's literally the dumbest shit ever. What happens with crime after the Nasty Girls pull out? How do you expect to fix crime if there isn't a constant presence?
