Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

They cheer and provide support. ACAB = All Cops Are Bastards

1312 is another good way of subvert messaging because it can be mistook as the international and area codes for Chicago, IL

never liked 1312. I don't mind it, but don't prefer it. reminds me of fascist dog whistles like 1488. there's no need to speak in code. we're right. all cops are bastards.

You must've been raised in a cop-free household then, and I'm grateful you could have that experience. Being beaten by a cop is nothing short of terrifying, especially in your own home.
