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.

Every single fucking day there are headlines about ICE committing all kinds of atrocities, so there are probably 10x more atrocities commited that are not being reported in the news.

And I never see any headlines of any ICE agents being prosecuted.

WTF is happening in the USA. Are there no laws? No one to enforce them?

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 75 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I'm honestly surprised that ICE isn't getting shot more, with all of the shady and illegal shit they are doing. They really should.

[–] GaryGhost@lemmy.world 55 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They target the most vulnerable and non threatening people. Moms and children. Guna are expensive, if they surprised you in the. Bathroom they wouldn't have time to react

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

People are also going to have to weigh living, and getting deported and hopefully a short terrible period to possibly be happy again versus shooting at ice, possibly killing someone (which most people have a moral aversion to) and almost certainly being killed in return.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 months ago

Hold up. You think the people being deported are going to have a rough time for a bit and then be happy again?

They are being sent to labor and death camps in countries that they aren’t from. That terrible period you’re talking about is going to be for the rest of their lives.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Exactly. That's why the smart strategy would be doing the same, not reacting to their insane armed assaults. Not that I would condone such actions, just pointing out a random thought I had once.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

i know of atleast 1 case where they did, i assume there's more they're just not getting reported on (the revolution will not be televised)

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

The trigger happy people are all in the other political party.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

They almost did once in North Carolina, very surprised they didn’t get lit up in New Orleans

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 36 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Are there no laws?

Not for the Epstein class and their lackeys (e.g. ICE, cops, politicians)

No one to enforce them?

Nope. Most of the people with the guns in this country like the violence.

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 months ago (3 children)

While a ton of people have guns, I'm thinking most of the people online who talked so big about using them were bots or astroturfing.

No individual is going to hold them accountable. We need organization for that.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 months ago

If unidentified, masked agents show up on my property in an aggressive manner, I am absolutely opening fire and burying their bodies in the acreage of forests out back.

It won't end well for me, but we outnumber them. If even every 100th person took out at least one of them, they'd cease to exist pretty quickly.

There would be other ramifications, but we're getting there no matter what anyway.

The ammosexuals are loving the fact that ICE is treading all over people. It's their team doing the violating of rights.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's a bit sad seeing Americans completely unable to act without someone telling them what to do honestly.

Individuals absolutely held powerful figures accountable throughout history, but I agree that won't happen in the US

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

The people are too pacified to defend their democracy. They think it's a spectator sport where showing up once every 4 years to check a box is all that's required of them. A lot of them don't even bother to do that. So instead they complain online and stand around with a sign at a No Kings rally two times in 11 months.

Americans, this is your democracy. It's your country and your future. Demand better.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nobody is ready to die for their democracy anymore and the elites know it.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They already do. Those who never move, never feel their chains.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago

yeah were "slaves".

Fucking overdramatic mental children.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

Just won a bunch of elections, more coming next year.

That IS democracy, dumbass.

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 3 points 3 months ago

And I never see any headlines of any ICE agents being prosecuted.

There's been at least five this year.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

No one to enforce them?

Who watches the watchmen?
