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.

An overly generous moniker. Call them by their real names. Brownshirts, fascist pigs, gestapo. Public official doesn't capture their nature or function.
Because they are the criminal thug caste of the criminal gang that seized power illegally in your country. Your military is breaking their oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
You now live in a gangster's paradise. A shithole country. A no go zone.
Not just our military, but every politician, of both stripes.
The military really hasn't stepped over the line yet, or at least not that far. They have been openly reminded by several ex-military members of Congress that they must refuse illegal orders, and MAGA made a big deal out of it, so nobody can say they didn't understand. So when the moment comes when they are asked to fire on American citizens, then we'll find out where they really stand.
But the politicians have had many, many opportunities to honor their oaths to protect America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and they have woefully fallen short of that promise, both MAGAS and Democrats.
MAGA represents the biggest national security threat in the history of this country. Even the Civil War was only political. Today we are fighting an international organization of mobsters who have targeted our government for the sole reason of mercilessly and ruthlessly exploiting us in every possible way.
Trump is doing to America what he did to his Casinos - suck every bit of profit out of it, leave the empty shell behind, and stick every one else with the bill. He's done it several times before, so he's good at it.
And the politicians are allowing it.
