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.
That just seems like good advice for any law enforcement interaction. If that is grounds for arrest, we've fallen even farther than I thought already and I thought we'd fallen pretty far.
We're free falling.
Tom Petty serenades this
This is what governors and agency heads should be doing. Complying in advance only encourages the bully.
That's the limit of the Regime. They can make meaningless threats or go after vulnerable people. Fascists don't pick fights they can't win or at least face no consequences.
Sooner or later, fascists try to invade Russia. It doesn't go well after that. As much as they run their mouth off about strength and alpha male bullshit, they are shockingly bad at actual fights against anyone in their weight class.
Fascists have successfully couped Russia and have been waging semi-successful wars of conquest for the past 30 years.
Not against their weight class. In fact, Ukraine is a notch below Russia's weight class, and they stopped Russia from reaching Kyiv before any significant western supplies started to arrive.
Well yeah, but to quote that unnamed Ukrainian soldier, they were lucky the Russians were so stupid.
Which would be my point.
I wonder how many of them are intentionally stupid. This isn't their war. Some of them know it's wrong.
The ruling class always underestimates the value of good will from the working class.
“Intention” is a strange word to use here. The generals who were stealing and reselling military supplies weren’t doing it accidentally, but they might not have expected the impact it would have.
... I mean, in this case it's Russian fascists trying to control everyone else through the same control techniques they refined at home...
Sooner or later, fascists try to invade Russia.
Okay, but don't we hate Russia?
Metaphorically. Not that I particularly liked the regime in Russia at the time either, but the important point is that invading them was when Nazis came to the intersection of Fuck Around and Find Out.
This is what true bravery looks like. All Democrats in power should take note.
Evers further proving why my vote for him is 700,000% worth it
Evers definitely one of the few good ones still out there. No idea how you elected Scott Walker and then found this guy. Wisconsin is a land of contrasts.
