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.

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.

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 moment governments start treating online criticism like a criminal threat instead of a public complaint, trust usually gets worse, not better.
And Trump is building $55B in new incinerators too.
What is that?
There was a substack post that claimed that DHS was building crematoriums, at massively inflated prices.
I saw that but was there any corroboration or just a random blog on the internet ?
I hadn't heard of it before the above post but a quick ~~google~~ duckduckgo search suggests "mostly factual with a bit of extrapolation", links I found here
TL;DR - 55bn in concentration camps is true, it's also true some of those camps have incinerators for bio-waste. Whether that means they're for Auschwitz style mass crematoriums is unknown (and to be realistic it's not something they would explicitly document if it were true).

etc
EDIT I use google as a verb, but after their recent changes I think I'd better differentiate
To your edit, I just use "search". It's generic and it's shorter
Seems it's several blogs and tweets with nothing else.
I ran into this about a year ago.
The company is Matthews Environmental Services. There was a DHS convention with several companies in 2025, including the ones that sold the pop-up concentration camps. Whether or not Matthews received a contract or not, I don’t know, but they were listed on the convention site. They advertised turning biowaste into fuel—but if you look into them more you can find a YouTube video of them advertising cremation and perfect extraction of valuable medical devices and other metals from grandma’s body. It’s also worth mentioning that Curtis Yarvin promoted doing exactly this sort of thing with undesirables, and there are those who seem to venerate him even now.
I think we’d know if anything was happening at scale, but every time a detainee goes missing, I admit I do wonder.
I know who Yarvin is, but had not come across Mathews. I can't find anything concrete in a search, but I'll keep an eye open.
Crematoriums... like how big are we talking about? That would be an interesting detail
There are no details that I can find. Just random social media posts.
We gotta check for train tracks going into them...
After that, you know it's only true when the government officials denies it.
For fucks sake, include the country unless it's a well known major place.
OP definitely should have at least added a [Texas] or something. I remember seeing articles for this story a few days ago.
Texas
Are we going to start arresting people who publish lies on social media as if they're news?
I'm pretty sure that the reason we haven't done so is something called the First Amendment to the US Constitution, which guarantees free speech and freedom of the press.
If they're going to arrest people for lying, the city of Trinidad, Texas, should start with people who lie the most and make the most severe lies, like Donald Trump and many of his top officials.
Don't forget the outrage industry - all of Faux "News", OAN, hate radio, far right social media "influencers", etc...
The update is that the grand jury no-billed her case yesterday, meaning that they did not find enough evidence to indict her with this criminal charge.
Inasmuch as the city is not denying its water quality problems, plus the amount of effort being put into silencing her, I think it is likely that she did not lie at all and that there really are people who were hospitalized with inexplicable gastrointestinal illnesses that they have chalked up to being related to the water.
The problem is that to prove, legally, that the two are related, both the suspected illness-causing pathogen that hospitalized these people AND the water have to be tested and matched, both for the pathogen and the timing (was it demonstrably in the water at the time they got sick?) AND those interested in proving causation have to have access to all these test results, not just their own medical test results but also those of any water management tests, and this is something the city and its water management people can easily block at every step.
Lawyers know that, citizens don't. And that's how these bright officials of the City of Trinidad, Texas thought they could shut this woman up via legal means: correlation does not prove causation, and she is alleging causation, hence criminal charges. But even a grand jury refused to indict, meaning whatever the city brought against her was weak indeed.
Somewhere in this world, Barbra Streisand is singing. People have their own medical records and everyone there can turn on a tap, so I bet someone proves that shit now.
Police Chief Gregory was not present at Tuesday's meeting.
I watched a news clip about this and he refused to speak to reporters later on too. The mayor did speak but wouldn't pick a side. Either way, this is clearly 1st Amendment speech protected by the constitution as it was just a facebook post and video showing her filling her sink and tub with dirty brown water. Even the woman's lawyer stated that speech doesn't need to be accurate. If we're going to prosecute people for Facebook disinformation, we can go ahead and arrest the entire executive and congressional branch.
And there's no reason to believe that she'll win that suit, no matter what the law and facts say.
The city will appeal it to the 5th circuit even if she won.
Law? This is the USA. They don't know the meaning of the word.
That's what I said.
Is it a data center or oil drilling poisoning people.
