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.

This country has a long history of dumb cops. ICE is stuck with what doesn't even qualify for police work. Stupid people don't question orders, and tend to resort to violence first in stressful situations and that is exactly the kind of people that ICE wants.

Brownshirts don't need to be intelligent, only compliant.

Read? Write? Pshah! How do they hate?

I bet the ICE training videos are all YouTube Shorts.

Bizarre number of Latinos in ICE.

A fascist's army only needs to be able to abuse and kill those who they are told to attack.

They do actually need competence. Marching around and acting like a menace doesn't actually accomplish much but piss people off

Look... There are so many good people out of work...

Just take these jobs to keep them from the kind of people they want, collect the paycheck, and then intentionally sabotage them from within. I don't think ICE is anywhere near discerning or competent enough to figure it out.

Barely 1 out of 5 of them can pass the "high school equivalent of a gym class" physical fitness test. According to the ICE recruiting sub on Reddit.

I'm sure quite a few have fallen through the cracks with their rush to hire.

From all the videos we see of ICE the agents are usually fat and stupid and always need local LE to make their ~~arrest~~ kidnapping successful.

If you don't have any warrants, you don't need to be able to read them.

If you just lock away people without due process, you don't need to write any reports.

I hope people join to expose and gut them from within.

Seriously, if you can, take the money, and be a mole, and ratfuck them like they have rat fucked democracy since Nixon.

That's a feature.
