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.

The alligators were full?

And if you think this is a sick joke, consider this: another regime very similar to Trump's started disappearing undesirables in specialized illegal prisons some 90 years ago. Those people were never seen again, for reasons that became clear to the whole world 10 years later.

Do you honestly think Trump and that Nazi Barbie Kristi Noem are above that?

Kind of. Not as people, but maybe fear of actually suffering consequences if anyone found out.

I think your point is a good one, and not impossible. But it's much more likely they were sent to a gulag somewhere.

The end result might not be much different, given enough time.

That's the thing: Trump and his henchmen feel more and more invulnerable and do bolder and bolder things, since nobody pushes back, and they now have the ICE Gestapo to make sure nobody will.

Don't count on fear to be found out. It didn't stop the German Nazis and it won't stop the American ones.

I can’t believe people still think there are limits to what Trump will do.

I'm sure they did that and that was the intention on the location, but it was shut down by a judge.

ETA: Also, these were boys (some teenagers) to men taken without due process in a lot, if not most, of the cases. These could be US citizens and/or legally here people. Regardless, they don't deserve to die, be tortured, or separated from their families in a prison for any of this.

That means our first mass murder has happened.

There is another article discussing dropping people off in Ghana and such, it's more likely that they were flown out of the country and dumped someplace than they would risk losing more supporters right now over out right murdering them.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

is this a new euphemism for murder? helping somebody drop off the grid?

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

They must have been on Venezuelan boats

Maybe they're in DC building a stupid ballroom.
