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.

First Latinos, now trans people. Wonder what group of people are next.
Autistics. "Drain on the system" "they don't think like you or me" "brain is damaged from vaccines, more humane to put them down"
i hope I'm wrong.
I am autistic. In response to the announcement of RFK's "Wellness Farms", I got into learning how to use a shotgun. Hopefully there will be a Rainbow Panther militia that wouldn't mind having me.
If I am to be put down, I would prefer it to be on a battlefield, than a plantation.
I have depression, my own mother says I'm a burden on society, says shit like "if you aren't contributing, you don't deserve to est" (aka: the "useless eater" nazi terminology), as I try to keep her (small) bussiness afloat so our family can survive. Conservatives have zero empathy.
And they read news about a suspect getting shot and celebrate "good, skip the trial and save resources", they think that the US not having death penalty is "being soft". They think people with autism, are somehow "dangerous"...
The only way we fix this is hope the older generation die quicker (no offense to the elderly people who are left-of-center, but I've seen too many raging bigoted conservative old people).
"those deranged by thoughts of empathy"
Anyone with any history of mental health treatment.
I feel like I've seen this one.
Autistic people next week. If we're lucky, we get an AI generated pamphlet about the wonders of celibacy, to avoid making more of us. If we're not, the US will either ban vaccines altogether, or send us to camps.
I'm nervous it'll be furries or something tangent to them
