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.

“We inherited a budget that mismanaged finances at every turn,” Mayor Mamdani told reporters at a press conference in Albany following the governor’s State of the State address.

It's been less than a month since he left office and Addams has already launched and rug pulled a crypto coin...

But there's no term limits for Mayor, and I don't think Mamdani has eyes on higher office. Mayor of NYC is damn the same as being president of most countries. There's a good chance Mamdani sinks a decade or even longer trying to fix NYC before moving on.

And honestly as well as he'd do in a statewide or national race, having an open and unapologetically socialist leader of NYC to show that progressive policy works is worth more than Mamdani in a higher office drowned out.

This move is probably one that makes me the most hopeful. Most leaders mask the shitshow they've inherited out of some sort of misguided effort to be polite or not drag their preticessor through the mud. Clearly articulating the mess opens the door for Mamdani to make more dramatic changes and probably more quickly (having established some urgency). I was on the fence about his actual ability to execute - but I'm excited I could be wrong.

Wow, you mean a cop stole money? That's crazy

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 months ago

Lol put a cop in charge of money and what do you expect?

They steal shit all day every day.

One really has to wonder if tRump's cronies and scammer buddies will see the possible implications for themselves here, ie: tRump may be off the hook but they will be held to account at state level.

Are there no state charges to be brought against Adams since the federal ones were dismissed?
