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.

We have to overthrow this Iranian regime because they brutalize protesters. Or at least that's what I've been told...
If you saw some of the unfiltered news, you would agree. I have quite a few Iranian friends that are watching their fellow citizens be murdered. but we know that’s not why the USA is doing this.
Also, change Iranian to American and I’m on board. Fuck ICE.
Finally a sane take. I'm so tired of people acting like I support US/Israeli aggression just because I pointed out the brutality of the IRGC and professed support for the New Iran movement/protesters. That was before the invasion even started, on an article about a student protest.
Like, there's no need to pigeonhole everyone into camps where we all have to choose an evil dictator to support and if you don't support my evil dictator then you must be supporting the evil dictators who oppose my evil dictator. There's no need for that mentality.
Humans were supposed to be rational beings capable of complex contextual reasoning. It was what separated us from the animals. But now we're allergic to nuance, and saying things like "All evil dictators are bad and must go" gets you skewered and accused of supporting the wrong evil dictators.
Fuck trump. Fuck netanyahu. Fuck khamenei. Fuck putin. Fuck lukashenko and all the other B-rated evil dictator proxies who seem to be springing up like weeds. Fuck the fallen dictators like assad and bolsonaro. Fuck all the evil dictators. And not the good kind of fucking.
What's so fucking hard to get about that?
It is true. But this war doesn’t promise relief, only hope. Ali has just been replaced by his son now.
