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.

The raids allegedly began in response to a recent ProPublica article featuring letters and drawings from children inside the San Antonio-area immigrant detention site.

I wonder why they're being given paper and drawing instruments in the first place?

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 46 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

You’d think stealing children’s drawings would result in a “are we the baddies” come to Jesus moment for these people, but at this point it’s clear these monsters have no souls.

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 21 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

I think most people would have that moment somewhere before they started locking children into prison for the crime of existing in the wrong place.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

Where they feed them food with bugs and leave 1-year olds without care or reasonable conditions, yep.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 13 points 11 hours ago

These bastards signed up specifically to oppress brown people. There's no hope for them.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

True. Lots of what should be reflective moments along the way. Can’t reflect when you have shit for brains, I guess

Gestapo steals teens diary documenting abuses

Abusers never seek to change or repair, only to cover up their offenses. It's well past time to stop the crimes against humanity

[–] homes@piefed.world 11 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Not “only to cover up their offenses“ but, most importantly, to continue them.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 45 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Well that's gotta be near the top of the list of activities that will immediately put you on the "we're the baddies" list.

And what are you gonna do about it?

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)
  1. Your mom
  2. Your dad
  3. Any siblings you have that are over 18

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 hours ago

We certainly will.

Me and the other guy are gonna have a blast

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 21 points 13 hours ago

If you worked for GEO or CoreCivic, it should be a mark worse than a criminal record getting another job.

Peaceful protest is no longer valid in stopping ICE.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 0 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Trust me bro! Just keep boycotting and singing songs and dancing in the streets bro! It's working bro!

Fuck these idiots who keep saying shit like this. IT. IS. NOT. WORKING. When are they gonna finally fucking realize that if we continue to show our back, this administration is going to keep stabbing it.

Every successful political resistance includes a healthy protest movement. It is necessary.

  • stop ignoring history of social change
  • pay attention to all the other important aspects of resistance that are building momentum and being set up
  • don't be a self-saboteur and plunge into pointless violence
  • apply pressure, including violence, in a disciplined and strategic manner
  • whining, whinging, and demanding bad strategy and worse tactics are a win for the opposition
  • everyone can contribute to resistance in many ways
  • a coordinated front is necessary, but also mass noncompliance and microresistance
  • get to work yourself in more constructive ways

May I add that while the whole world is dealing with a surge in authoritarian bullshit, the particular case of the USA is going to require much more than just a shift in the political roster. The problem is deeply cultural, as evidenced by the hollywood style approach of so many armchair tacticians. Start there, and work on you and yours while also taking direct action.

Preach, brother

[–] whelk@retrolemmy.com 15 points 11 hours ago

What are you doing that's more effective so we can emulate it? Legit question, I'll do more if I know what it is that needs doing and is realistically doable (hence asking what you are personally doing about it)

How they don’t swallow their own shotguns is beyond me

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Because they think swallowing rods is gay.
