News
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.

How THE FUCK is it only 4 in 10?! Have they been bound, gagged, and held away from any goddamn newssource? This incontinent incompetent asshole is qualified to sit in a fucking jail cell, that's it. God this country is stupid...
No, but there are millions who basically do not consume news outside of social media. And as you see on social media, people constantly complain about having to see "politics" and many try to block anything regarding that.
Hell it happens here on Lemmy. And tbh I've thought about doing it too, shit's way too depressing right now.
I was venting... I work with people who complain that they were inconvenienced by protesters but also wont listen to why they were protesting... I feel tired and old.
Alternate title - 6 in 10 Americans don't think Trump is a terrible president.
Is this supposed to be better?
Like it or not (I don't) the horrific immigration policies get a lot of support. Other countries are taking notice too.
Germany is considering removing German citizenship to dual passport holders if they are deemed "extremists" (but with no clear definition of what that means and how it would be determined).
Since before Trump 2, Italy has already had its own camp in Albania for immigrants and it's share of friction with judges who said these deportations were illegal.
Also "let Russia have Ukraine, why do we care" has enjoyed the sort of support people are ashamed to admit but that translates to votes to all the worst politicians.
Which just demonstrates the stupidity in this country. If this shit was happening while a Democrat president was in office, they'd be on the White House lawn with guns and nooses. The same exact people.
A lot of the same stuff was happening under the last two D administrations. 3 year olds representing themselves in courts is not a new thing, and most of the detention camps aren’t new. Targeting citizens and deporting to a foreign concentration camp is really the only new part.
