News
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.

How do they decide someone is antifa? Is it going to be just everyone they don't like?
Yes, exactly.
Mostly true but I'm guessing exceptions are made for speaking badly of dear leader.
Anything not in line with the fascists, yes. Anti-Trump will be illegal.
America seems to want this.
“Are you against fascism?”
“So you’re anti fascist?”
“We have a confession boys, prepare the firing squad”
Firing squad? Buddy, you're going to Gitmo for a few years of "enhanced interrogation" so they can shake some accomplices outta you
America may be ignorant but the majority certainly doesn’t want this.
What American middle-class wants versus what they're willing to actually DO about it might as well be on opposite sides of the solar system.
Sites like this have the most informed people with the most thought-out positions and understand what's at stake and most people here still aren't willing to organize or mobilize or even ally with people slightly less left of themselves.
Most people are still too comfortable, too poor, too scared, struggling too hard or too caught up in their own lives to want to break anything or rock the boat. Until it's too late.
49.8% voted for this, more than any other option. 0.5% voted for RFK Jr so it's highly likely that over 50% of people who felt bothered to actually vote seemed to be ok with it.
I suppose you could say they were misinformed, but people were pretty loud about it...
They also did everything they could to block, purge, or straight up steal Democrat votes. Any number coming from the gov't at this point is likely bullshit.
Am I the only person who remembers Trump all but admitting on national television that Musk rigged the voting machines in his favor?
And then all the highly irregular ballots that appeared that are, and I quote, "consistent with vote manipulation" as per the neutral third party assigned to investigate?
And then nobody investigated it at all because we "couldn't be taken seriously about it" because of the huge Stop The Steal right wing uproar the prior election.
Don't trust those reported numbers, they are almost certainly fabricated.
The majority never voted for the Nazi party either. It doesn't matter. If they don't rise up against fascism, that's enough for the fascist to win.
A lot of people were saying that the last election was the choice between democracy and fascism - and still enough people either didn't know or didn't care.
I'm afraid that the erosion of the education system did what it was designed to do: produced enough uneducated people to allow propaganda to break democracy.
Agreed.
If you're anti-trump you suffer from trump-derangement-syndrome, ie. are mentally damaged.
If you're anti-fascism you're part of antifa, a terror risk.
For both rules and regulations are on the table to help them give you your own cot at a crocodile swamp-camp.
I think you accidentally figured out their whole plan. It was always made to be as ambiguous as possible so they can do whatever they want. Classssic dictator shit.
Anyone who is not sufficiently anti-antifa, which means anyone not a fascist.
anti-anti-fascist.
anyone that is probably black(which trump hates alot he got it from his father), blm, anyone protesting the gop, or kirk.
Tshirts
I mean that's also the same way they decide who is a terrorist too. So, really, it's just more of the same with new buzzwords.
Every dictator does this
Literally exactly it.
But don't worry, we have people ALL over Lemmy still shouting about the Epstein files, so I'm sure we'll all be just fine.
