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.

Willful disregard for human life is the legal term I believe.
Don’t forget utter incompetence.
Incompetence isn't a crime outside of specific licensed and regulated roles. Willful disregard for human life is a crime
They are incompetent, but their violence, abuse and murder are deliberate.
That undersells it so much that it’s beneath mention.
I'm sure it'll be thrown around a bit during Nuremberg 2
Nuremberg only happened because Germany was utterly defeated and occupied by foreign powers. I'm not optimistic America will have a reckoning like that.
Here is my favorite video essay of 2025: Fantasies of Nuremberg.
A bit of a heads-up: do not watch this video if you want to retain any hint of a fantasy that such a reckoning even did happen in the first place. Do watch if you want a fantastically well written essay about one of the most mythologized and relevant events in history.
Oh I'm well aware of how weak denazification was. I'm saying I doubt the US will even get that much.
We are once again being presented the lesson that we didn't learn every previous time a tyranny has been overthrown: That the overthrow must be total, that the power and influence the tyrants wielded must be entirely destroyed, that those responsible can't be allowed to survive their crimes, and that the ideas that enabled their rule must become warnings taught to all from birth.
Until we learn the lesson, we're never going to grow out of this insane cycle.
Sadly, I believe that's the point of American public schools not teaching it. If you look at the origins of our public schools, it makes perfect sense.
But it really needs one.
That’s likely to happen. A lot of innocent people will die first, but that’s basically inevitable.
