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.
Supporters of a senile pedophile president are going around harassing day care centers.
It's basically the same set of people that fell for pizzagate - a conspiracy theory about trafficking children out of the basement of a pizza parlor with no basement.
If we make it out of this we need to go after the platforms that allow and sometimes promote this shit. Pushing this kind of conspiracy crap is going to lead to people (and likely children) getting hurt.
Was just gonna say, it's the friggin pizza shop fiascos all over again.
Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said that the allegations of fraud at Minnesota day care centers is “so big, it’s so important, because it’s going to unlock a lot of other storylines that we’re going to see play out in 2026.”
Calling it "storylines" tracks.
Yeah, American politics is increasingly becoming a bunch of WWE storylines, but even less believable and starring people who very rarely know how to perform a piledriver or even a double leg takedown.
I don't like your reference to WWE because that just means more headlines like SLAMS
Debates would be more interesting if they did.
I would definitely watch more influencer content if a figure-four leg-lock was involved.
If you have been told your entire life that the other team in politics is the enemy, you eventually get so desperate you believe anything or you wake the fuck up.
The daycares are eating our cats and dogs!
What is it with these people and children? It’s always a new angle to get themselves close to other people's children.
They know you MUST defend the children, so it's a way of ensuring you'll be afraid of them. It's just more ways to inflict cruelty on everyone else by using children as hostages against us.
You'd think most of them wouldn't be allowed so close to one by court order.
Serious answer though? All parents get extremely emotional about their kids, most of them about kids in general. Combined with fear it's like the ultimate political motivator. This is constantly being abused by politicians around the world - but MAGA have taken it to perverted extremes. Distorted it beyond recognition.
These dimwits just can't stop thinking about children and are obsessed with child rape. Watch them closely for sex crime arrests in the future.
They think everyone has the same urges they do.
I'm worried they're going to provoke someone into shooting up a daycare
Of course they are, and that will just feed the narrative / give them an excuse to put more troops on the streets / allow them to swoop in and place all such daycares "temporarily" under government control "for protection" / give added fuel to the eventual argument for martial law.
Funny how they never look for fraud in corporate subsidies
After trans people, teachers, librarians, immigrants: let's kick down some more!
As if state-subsidized daycare needed more trouble.
Fucking monsters.
[ of course the "down" is only in the fascists' minds ]
Hm, "influencers".
Influencers are cancer.
All that is old is new again.

I recall 8chan at the time getting really pumped about uncovering pedophile conspiracies up until they found a google drive folder filled with raw child testimony videos for CSAM and general child abuse. 8chan had uncovered some Salt Lake City social services/child protective services program and basically doxxed them. They quickly ran out of steam after that.
I think this has mostly been memoryholed so I can't find any specific articles about it. The Vice article focuses mostly on Reddit's involvement.
The new media sucks too? Weird.
This is just yellow journalism, but on the internet. Nothing new about racists spreading lies.
