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.

I can't remove the video from showing.

A New Jersey man was on a flight traveling from Atlanta to Newark on June 4, 2026, while wearing a T-shirt that said, "Bombing kids is not self defense."

Hell yeah. Fuck the system they've created.

Odd thing to get on a passenger for. It isn't a school where you are concerned about some slogan starting a fight. I could see if it was obscene people being upset. It is not like it can disrupt a flight and it isn't a threat. An easy fix is make them go into the bathroom and turn it inside out.

They censor this, but then you see a news article about pastors preaching at people on airplanes and that's somehow A-OK.

i cant qwhite put my finger on the difference.

If someone started playing an instrument and singing while I was trying to rest and maybe sleep I'd consider violence. lol

[–] Mertn33@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I remember my father joked about "The US has shot a tenorist, thought he was a terrorist." in 2007. We're back in the terrorist paranoia age.

What kind of moron would find this offensive, I wonder?

I suspect that they might own a red hat...

[–] criscodisco@lemmy.world 15 points 11 hours ago

And/or just really loves bombing kids.

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 77 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

This is ANTI SEMETIC because ONLY Jews Bomb Kids!

-United Airlines!

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 31 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Well, the US also bombs kids, but mostly because Israel asked them to.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago

Yes, but the US does not bomb their own kids. Weird, lone gunmen are their weapon of choice and schools are the best location for that.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

Did Israel ask the US to bomb kids in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Laos, etc? They can bomb kids on their own, they don't need the help of an apartheid state.
