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.

A video recorded last week has ignited outrage online after it captured ICE agents violently arresting two brothers in South Norwalk, Connecticut, in broad daylight without producing a warrant. The men, identified as Ricardo Chavez and his brother, reportedly hold legal status to live and work in the United States.

The footage (credit @alwaysfilmthepolice) shows plainclothes ICE agents forcibly detaining the men in a public area. Witnesses say the agents refused to provide identification or present a warrant when asked, instead resorting to physical force and a taser to subdue the brothers before hauling them away. They also allegedly damaged their vehicle.

Community members who know the Chavez family insist that both men are law-abiding residents with valid documentation. “They work, they pay taxes, and they belong here,” said one South Norwalk resident who witnessed the arrest. “This was nothing short of a kidnapping.”

Fifth Amendment:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Fourteenth Amendment:

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

They continue to violate the Constitution in so many ways. The Constitution recognizes "person" as any human on US soil.

If they don't identify themselves, they are kidnappers and

SECOND AMENDMENT.

[–] uhmbah@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I see the 5th and 14th above... as a non American, can someone post the Second Amendment and then I'll be able to post all three amendments to thousands of posts. And feel smug about it.

Seriously, these need to be constantly posted in every single thread where it's required

2nd amendment is the right to bear arms.

Did the new season drop yet !?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Not yet, October 29th. I'm looking forward to it! The songs were surprisingly good.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 3 points 5 months ago

The songs are pretty good! Most of the Helluva Boss songs are decent, but after having heard them dozens of times each... some of them just start sounding like shit tbh. There were only 1 or 2 Hazbin songs I actively found a bit annoying.

  • unless you're brown or darker.

You made the classic mistake of forgetting the footnote, silly! See, now it all makes sense!

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 10 points 5 months ago

Sure, but that only counts if you have due process, and if people are still presumed innocent until proven guilty.

But if you don't get your day in court, you can't do anything about this.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 4 points 5 months ago

Only worth that the people defend

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Problem is there will be plenty of USAians still saying “this is what I voted for”.

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Right up until their door gets kicked in.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

that is another reason why they wear masks, what they do is clearly illegal. they only get away with it because the goverment is run by crooks (but who still haven't had enough time to change every law so instead they need to use masked bandits).
