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.
Please, consider donating to archive.org. They are under assault right now, and they are the only outfit that records everything that might get lost otherwise.
If you don't have any money, maybe you can also help if you have a bit of extra space on your HDD - by mirroring some things (especially in the torrent form and seeding), it will at least be one more redundancy of some things in the worst case.
EDIT: Turns out, there is a [or at least one] tool for it:

Dumbest shit in the world.
I assure you, it's gonna get dumber.
Sadly it will.
Why was the comment downvoted? Does someone think doing those things is a good idea!?
Yup, they are here too. Donaldmusk seems very enamored
To echo the theme song of my favorite 2020 podcast “everything is so dumb, and it’s gonna get dumber!”
Dumbest shit in the world.
So far.
This is, for sure, the stupidest timeline.
America has truly cemented itself in history as one of the most racist countries to ever exist
Always has been
Living there and leaving the place taught me as much. Yucky.
I'm glad 'The Independent' changed that title.
Shockingly stupid. I keep thinking, well that’s the worst, and they are still able to find yet another exploit with which to speedrun fascism.
Trump received 24% of the black male vote in 2024.
From Tuskegee Airmen to Enola Gay, diversity eradication equals cultural lobotomy.

Why not just go further? Just ban all blacks and women from joining the military. That's the goal right? Why don't they just take that step? They're going to anyway.
The military should be pure. Only rich, white men should be accepted, to make sure they don't join for the money or perceived social status. In fact, they should be drafted for the greater good, since making America great again is the highest goal.
What do you mean, bone spurs?
Coming soon, Trump administration to ban the colors black and brown.
Also Tan Suits.
I chuckled
You can only wear black and brown shirts in his administration.
I just came back from a walk through a nearby, private cemetery. It's a mix of old and new burials, some dating to the late 1800s. There are a lot of veterans interred there, and yes, some women veterans even! Probably some dark-skinned veterans too. There's a section that contains many graves of Asians. I can't read the writing on the stones but I'd guess Chinese - this was a railroad town back in the day and if I recall my HS history correctly, a lot of Chinese labor was used by the RR industry - yes, immigrants! This town still has a lot of Ukrainians and Russians and eastern Europeans, and the cemetery has a section that has a lot of their graves too.
I couldn't help but wonder how long before all of the documentation of these people, scant as it may be (just stones), gets erased, flushed right down the Memory Hole. It's a private cemetery but I'm sure there are ways the Musk administration could twist the arms of the board that runs the place. It sounds unthinkable, but until the last week or so, so did the idea of un-documenting a lot of US military history as the article describes.
I might add, this cemetery is about a quarter mile from a VA hospital too, one that's already seeing cuts. Convenient, once the patients get kicked to the curb to die, they can be disposed of quickly and easily.
1984 is a book/fiction ... not a manual.
Remember that stupid "gay" plane? Neither do I.
