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.

Now that's a wonderful group of religious people.

It's a solid idea in theory but unless I'm mistaken this means that someone somewhere is in possession of a list of people who have reason to suspect that ICE would want to arrest them. Given the lack of legal processes involved in all this it seems likely that this list will end up being a valuable resource for ICE when they break down that person's door and steal it.

I always appreciate a valid worry, thanks, especially one that hadn't occurred to me. Here's hoping the list is well-hidden and encrypted.

On a vaguely related worry, there are near-daily anti-Trump protests in any American city, and I frequently attend, but the organizers always ask for on-line RSVPs — putting everyone who replies into an easily-subpoenaed database. I never reply, and recommend simply showing up (preferably without a cell phone in your pocket).

That was one of my first thoughts too.

They should be delivering guns. ICE is kicking in doors without proper judicial warrants.

One of the most notable instances of culture shock I've had as a Californian is going into a Walmart in Idaho and seeing the guns in the outdoors section. It's not like I hadn't seen rather open gun stores outside of California, hell I once went to a gas station that was gun store/gas station mart/Pizza Hut it was just surreal seeing guns in Walmart. Mostly because I wouldn't trust your average Walmart shopper with a dull knife let alone a firearm.

And these people vote......

Oh, right. That explains modern times.

It's good for breaking ice and bringing down gam gams tempature.

Crap you just reminded me I need to stock up on shotgun ammo

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wouldn't this just be a way for ice to pin immigrant houses by following those deliveries?

[–] silence7@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

That requires an extra contract with Palantir, so it hasn't happened yet that I am aware of. They're mainly beating US citizens to get them to point out which houses nonwhite neighbors live in.
