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.

There was a post in reddit's /r/daddit yesterday about a person's experience with a friend and their neighbor in a largely immigrant community in Minneapolis. Highly recommend. Great read.

Jesus, shades of Anne Frank's Diary...
🥹
That was seriously my initial thought. Like, this is way worse than most people realize.
“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.”
- Anne Frank
The parallels are so strong.
I never read her diary. I should. I do wonder what kind of literature we'll get from the persecuted survivors when this all ends, regardless of how it does. I did read "American Dirt", an Oprah-friendly dramatization (don't know the word, it's a first person account told as a novel) of illegally entering America. This post reminds me of that, a bit, too.
I hate how incredibly relevant it is now. I visited her hiding space many years ago and never imagined then that the US would go down the same road as Nazi Germany. Not because It Couldn't Happen Here, but because I thought we had learned from it and were better than that. I was very, very wrong.
Anne was right then and this one will end eventually as well, but I fear it will take much longer, prolonging the suffering, since there's no coalition of power that will be liberating the US like there was with Germany.
there have been big signs, trump wants to emulate hitler, most of the us is captivated by propaganda that something will stop them, or nothing serious will occur, thats how trump got in office twice. complacency.
plz don’t send us to reddit. copy paste it here. fuck spez.
Thank you, added to my original comment.
Yeah....I was thinking that too. I thought giving the direct link was better for OOP, regardless of my feelings for reddit.
I do feel dirty posting a reddit link here and I appreciate someone putting an archive link. I was trying to find reddit mirror sites and completely forgot about that. I'll add it to my comment.
Jesus H Christ that was a heartbreaking read.
