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.

Despite that, not much was happening in Minneapolis in December 2025, when Le Monde visited the city, a few days after the first deployment. Swept by polar vortexes, with temperatures regularly dropping below -20°C, the snow-covered streets were largely deserted. People moved from their homes to their cars, from their cars to work, and reversed the same route in the evening. Downtown, walkways connecting the buildings allowed people to get around without ever having to step outside.

Some business owners openly showed their support for the Somali community. Restaurants and stores belonging to the diaspora displayed a legal notice that read: "Private property, no ICE access." After the first arrests of migrants, some residents began to organize to monitor and document the activities of the federal police, coordinating via groups on the Signal messaging app. Activist networks already existed in Minneapolis. After George Floyd was killed in 2020 following his arrest by police, the city became the epicenter of the massive anti-racist social movement that shook the US that year. A few activists also began regularly protesting outside the Whipple Building, the federal building where those taken into custody were brought. There were dozens of them in December 2025.

There were not many more people present when Le Monde returned in January, after the death of Good. At most, around 100, holding signs, playing music and wearing costumes. Many were regulars, with a few newcomers each day. Nothing insurmountable, it would seem, for a well-trained police force, even though the federal agents were clearly not very experienced in crowd control. Several times a day, they deployed, made contact, fired tear gas, and carried out arrests – sometimes absurd ones, like the forceful arrest of a man dressed as a fox who was guilty of... dancing.

Next; trumps decision to turn the us into a terrorist state will be slammed!

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The only thing trump needs to be under is 6ft of dirt.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Nah, make it one or two. Makes it easier for wild animals to dig up and desecrate his corpse.

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 5 points 2 months ago

Fuck it, just leave his corpse to rot in the rubble of the white house. Just leave him there when he keels over from whatever it is they are covering up.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Is that desecration? Id much prefer disenfranchised people get a whack at it than random animals

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I’m sure the Italians would lend us Mussolini’s meat hooks if we asked nicely

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

¿Por que no los dos?

First the animals dig it up, gnaw a bit at it, eat some of it, and likely piss on it, then the humans can take their turn.

[–] Ashenlux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago

Dirt works I guess, but I would prefer he be under 6ft of human excrement. It's the least of what her deserves.

[–] Infinite@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Pretty sure hazardous materials have a stricter disposal protocol.

This isn't Trumps strategy, it is conspiracy to commit murder.

Someone is likely gonna vigilante Trump when he gets out of office if he doesnt get charged for this.
