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 murders will continue until compliance improves.
You want to hold us accountable? We're going to murder even harder.
Now that's what I call a bold strategy.
I know you were calling on the meme and this isn't against you, but I have to say it's anything BUT bold. It's a coward's strategy.
"More wrong and harder" is the weak way out of having a critical light shone on one's choices. To most of us it's no big deal, but to these guys -- who know far better than we do the truth of what they are doing -- it's ego death and frightening as hell.
Is it easier to stand up and take responsibility for all the evil you have done, or to pull a bit of metal on the gun you're holding a fraction of an inch, in order to kill an unarmed person trying desperately to go on living when you confront them with your own will and means to murder them, knowing that afterward your fellow ICE sociopaths will high-five you like it's something to be proud of?
For those of us with working consciences, that question only gets answered one way.
For the rest, that's a personal profile of every single serving member of ICE. They already know they're not "defending" jack shit and that immigrants are no danger at all. If they were, ICE would not be shooting at them, because ICE goons regularly run from conflict, as Tom Homan is demonstrating right now, and as they all prove when people whip out cameras and start shouting loud enough.
These sociopaths RUN from accountability. They signed up for the opportunity to get paid to play The Most Dangerous Game all day every day, they're glad to do it, and the ones who have any shred of conscience/humanity left in themselves are being eaten alive by it, as they should be.
And Tom Homan is upset that people who do have working consciences are calling bullshit on the whole thing. He's so scared of real accountability that he has equated words with physical danger, lol.
That's not bold. That's weakness. A fucking snowflake in a skin suit who could never personally bear even a fraction of the suffering he readily metes out to others.
"Let's see how that plays out for 'em, Cotton!"
Probably pretty well, lol. Americans have demonstrated that they are willing to put up with this shit
I keep seeing this take, but it's hardly uniquely american though. Human societies will put up with a lot as long it means they don't have to leave their comfort zone.
It's why the chinese put up with their party dictatorship, they live in relative comfort. We might see more resistance coming from russian society now because they are starting to feel the consequences of the dictatorships actions.
Most Chinese people have seen their standards of living improve over their lifetimes. I doubt we can say the same for Americans.
Also after, eat your cake
