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.

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.

How will this impact the people in the Epstein Files?

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Donald J Trump
All Republicans
Half of Democrats

Wow. I Didn't Know That. You're Telling Me Now for the First Time

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

That is a great question. Thanks for bringing it up.

Or Trump's wife who he bought from Epstein?

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't this mean that Trump's father who's parents were German and his mother who was born in Scotland weren't citizens when he was born on American soil, hence he himself isn't?

[–] axx@slrpnk.net 4 points 11 months ago

Of course they will never let it apply to themselves.

Fascist regimes delight in and depend on arbitrary enforcement of rules.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 48 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No it ain't, experts have been telling us the whole time that no one is safe.

First they came for the Mexicans, I just cracked open a bud light...

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 42 points 11 months ago (5 children)

So, recursively and retroactively. So who is a citizen then? People who pay the $5m? People who are naturalized? Party loyalists? Does servitude guarantee citizenship? I would like to know more.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The more of these boxes you can check, the “safer” you are….

White.
Wealthy.
Straight.
Male.
Christian.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.zip 6 points 11 months ago

And well-connected and have rightthink. Those are more important than the others. You can check all your boxes, but too much wrongthink and you'll be against the wall before you know what's happening.

Not even service guarantees citizenship as multiple veterans have been deported

[–] Stamau123@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

service hasn't guaranteed citizenship since Trump scrapped the program in his first term

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It's not a nation anymore it is more a club. Do they have membership discounts? /s

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

I'm doing my part!

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 38 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Fucking fascists. We should still be accepting immigrants through Ellis Island (in my humble opinion)

[–] 7toed@midwest.social 3 points 11 months ago

No! Don't be humble about that, that's just simply how this country was founded.. and I don't mean the exploiters, I mean the countless immigrants who form the working class since then. That is more than something to take pride in.

I had a little "debate" where it was being argued the US was never a melting pot, and if it was ever, it isn't anymore. How defeatist is that? To let the undeniable presence of so many cultures wither just as these ethnonationalists intend.. You have to be bold, else you lose what you once had, or worse, never achieve anything greater.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)

To that end, USCIS declared flatly that the children of immigrants who are “unlawfully present” will “no longer be U.S. citizens at birth.” They will, instead, inherit the status of their parents, rendering them detainable and deportable as infants and throughout their lives. There is no indication that the government will provide some grace period before snatching up and imprisoning this new underclass of noncitizen babies; they are apparently subject to arrest from the moment of birth.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 32 points 11 months ago (1 children)

it’s not much of a stretch to assume they’ll do the same to people born here three generations down. or six. or twenty.

fucking pieces of garbage worthless nazis these admins and anyone who supports them are.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Yeah that's smart, expel themselves

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

if we’re lucky they’ll follow their leader.

@xylol Is one of those who brought it up.

One of the steps that will lead to mass corporate slavery.

"Former" Americans will be bought and sold, or "disposed of", to pay off their "debt" for being allowed to stay on American soil.

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

So. This is what will cause a revolution. Believe that.

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 12 points 11 months ago

Will anything cause a revolution?

From an outside-the-US perspective, it feels as though every incremental assault the USA’s constitution is met with a bit of tut-tutting and complaining about why elected members don’t fix things, then back to apathy 48 hours later.

[–] theluckyone@discuss.online 4 points 11 months ago

If this goes through and birthright citizenship falls, so does the rest of the Constitution.
