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, 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.

After 20 years in the Army, Master Sergeant Amiah Sale’s future hangs in the balance.

The Trump administration has made it a mission to purge all transgender service members from the military, but as the trans military ban makes its way through the courts, some service members, like Sale, are spending their days in limbo.

-20 votes... 0 reply. don't expect a rational argument here. The US military has been the world's biggest polluter entity and biggest contributer to death to humankind in the last century .

Seriously what service or what war was it? She defended her country from vietnam? From Afganistan? Iraq? Iran? Lybia? Syria? Bosnia? Sudan? Yemen? Somalia? Helped stealing Venzula's oil because they were not on israel side? Helped suffocating and embargoing Cuba with your service? You helped genociding starved enslaved besiged people in Gaza? Helped US imperlism and control of Asia and loot hosting country's resources? Helped toppling democrasies and installed Cuba's Batista, Iran's Shah, Philipine's Marcos, Eygpt's Sisi, and tens of nations throughout history that refused to enrich your warlord masters who own weapon manufactorers and oil companies? Helped install puppet pro-israel zionist governments in South America and Middleast? Worked in bases of US-ally dictatorships that kill their protestors with US weapons in the middleast and Africa?

I thank you for your service where or when? You never defended your country from a foreign invasion. You worked for death and launching metals into people's bodies all while polluting environment and destroying the planet, and helping episten-class get rich from wars.

You know they are about to draw their last anti-trans card now.. antisemitism maybe. Here comes my ban. But they will never reply to your question because they can not.
