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.

Didn’t a couple cops end up dying?

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or commited suicide because of their experiences.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

MAGA don't really care about anyone. They just want to feel superior while people of color and the race traitors suffer and die.

i always look for your synopsis!

Don't forget that it's the same dipshits that fell for Qanon and "Save the Children" narratives...who now support giving our money to pedophiles who attacked cops and smeared shit all over the Capitol.

So much patriotism and so much looking out for the kids....

Dear Americans, when are you going to fucking do something???

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Not likely. The system has been setup in such a way that your entire life will crumble if you protest since there are virtually no safety nets and your life’s finances, insurance, and credit score are all tied to your job.

Once you are arrested or lose your job, everything gets repossessed and you are incurable.

I have tried talking to people I am supposedly friend with about this and they just don't care. It is not affecting them and until it does there will be no will to do anything.

I'm so dejected about it. Our geriatric "leaders" won't lead and they refuse to get out of the way and let younger generations take their turn. If I didn't have plenty of skeletons that would be used against me in a campaign, I'd feel a moral obligation to run for office at some level.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

let younger generations take their turn

Neither Marco or "JD" are geriatric and that doesn't make them any better.

I wouldn't get distracted by the age of the politician; it doesn't make much difference. I'd take a 1000 Bernies - even at his current age - over any young douchebag being cranked out by the brosphere.

Kindly excuse black Americans please. We did what were suppose to and im not getting my ass shot fighting for a bunch of white and Latino folks who thought they'd magically be absolved of the consequences of their actions

[–] valar@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sorry it's either join the fight or get rolled over with the rest of us

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

When have black ppl not been rolled over? The only difference is now its happening in the suburbs instead of the "ghetto".
