“I’m saying it right now,” Homan said. “There’s still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted.”
DHS has acknowledged that neither of the men who have been shot in recent weeks was the target of the ICE operations that led to their deaths.
A witness reported that Guerrero shouted, “I tried to stop” after being shot by an agent while his vehicle moved forward slowly.
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.
Now that's what I call a bold strategy.
"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.
"let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted"
I don't recall anyone enacting a law that said "round up brown people in concentration camps and kill protesters"
Also pretty sure it's not ICE's job to enact laws.
I'm pretty sure by "they" he meant Democrats.
Probably, but these are not Democrat laws.
Joe Biden spent a record amount on ICE camps while the threat of fascism was obviously clear.
Obama not only discovered Homan, but awarded him with a medal when Homan devised a plan to separate migrant children from their parents at detention centers.
Every single dem senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio, who has obviously been one of the biggest champions of "immigration enforcement.
They're not entirely wrong when they say the Democrats gave them a mandate.
I mean we have to acknolwedge that Rubio and Homan did not act back then the way they do now. A Christian Nationalist (Nat-C) movement electing a fascist president has a way of bringing the latent bigot out of people that may have been decent at suppressing it in the past.
People across this nation have been experiencing that on a personal level with their family/friends for the last decade.
So is it just required to blame democrats for everything republicans do on your instance? You all never seem to miss an opportunity to criticize and blame Dems. Never mention republicans though. Fishy, that.
Why do y'all get so bruised when extremely valid critiques are leveled against the democrats?
blame democrats for everything republicans do
Uh, Joe Biden was not a republican. Neither was Obama. And it should be clear the Democrat senators are also not Republicans...
Nobody mentioned either party till you chimed in to bullshit that it's all the Dems faults. Now this is where you call me blue maga or a zionist or some other dumb fucking out of pocket nonsense and call in the ml brigade and sockpuppets too boost your comment and downvote disagreement. Looks like you already got started on part of that.
Honestly? We don't think Republicans can do any better, so we don't try to change them. They chose their side a long time ago. They are the enemy.
Democrats, we know you, we know that you can do better because sometimes you do. You share our values. Even if your political leaders are captured by capitalist interests, you cheer when they do the right thing. So it is very frustrating to us to see you choose wrong.
It's like being an Australian in the time of Trump. We are seriously worried and horrified about what's going on in the USA, because you are literally our ally.
Here’s the neat part, the murders will continue either way.
Why should anybody shut up?
Here in Chile, when one President declared war on their people, we trashed the country until his governance was all but surrendered, and we even got the chance of making a new Constitution out of it (the idiots blew it, but that's for Season 2 of the series). He got lucky to make it out of the Presidential building in one piece (we historically don't like it when armed conflict touches the place).
What are the so-called American citizens doing?
America definitely needs to get a sense of urgency in change, but USA is a much larger, and spread out country than Chile; and it also has the largest & most well funded intelligence agencies helping the oligarchs maintain power.
More spread out than Chile
Is the US even that long?
Yes actually. Chile is 2,653 miles long. The longest longitudinal distance in the continental US is 2,802 miles.
We have many vastly different regions, so yes. The commonwealth, the South, the Midwest , the West, the Pacific Northwest, all very far apart and with different immediate concerns.
Yes. Chile is 2653 miles long/tall. The distance from San Diego to Portland (Maine) is 3100 miles. Just Alaska is 2145 miles wide when counting all the Aleutian Islands.
They do say spread out: the USA actually has a better population distribution than Chile and it's big in two dimensions, whereas Chile is incredibly tall but also incredibly narrow (think: that goth guy).
That said, Chile is long tall: we get from above our hemisphere's tropic line to the friggin' South pole.
The difference is, our police are armed more heavily than some nations military. And our military is more heavily armed than nearly every other nation combined..... And that's forgetting that we've allowed technocrats to install nationwide government surveillance, tracking and recording. Both online and in public places.
It's not so easy as just "revolt".
Kind of like Russia has a numbers advantage in Ukraine.
Alright bro. You first.
Everyone wants a John Brown.
No one wants to be John Brown.
B-but ... when MAGAts occasionally threaten 'Antifa Communist Marxist Fascists' on Twitter that they 'won't take their bullshit' much longer, they inevitably pull 'we have 220 milllion guns' out of their arse.
Well, with that amount of guns no one can really say you can't share or teach (ie.: start an anti-fascism shooting school). I mean, th'all invented that Second Amendment for something, right?
yea? it's easy? So, you've done it, right? You personally? Care to describe your personal experience, what you faced and how easy it was?
Our people are heavily armed... compared to people in other countries. They are not heavily armed compared to even the police, let alone the military. Any violent revolt would be put down in days.
Honestly? The average and median American still has I think the highest disposable income in the world even after accounting for cost of living short of places like Luxembourg. While they're complaining, rightly, about their lot being worse compared to years past, most of them aren't feeling a sort of financial squeeze that's usually needed for that kind of revolutionary action yet.
The US has made a sort of deal with devil that's still mostly paying off for the average citizen. Until the middle class specifically really feel the squeeze, and not just compared to themselves historically, I don't see any revolutionary action happening.
Basically people have to start starving first.
Yeah, but crucially, the ones who are in a position to feel that need keenly enough are sick.
They often have more immediate concerns.
But that number is "only" ~25 million out of over 340 million, or about 7% give or take (double checked my numbers; slightly off, but still under 10%). And they're likely in the worst position to do anything politically because they're too busy surviving. There is a crisis of under insured, but most people don't feel that pressure until it becomes a real problem, then they're in the group that is too busy surviving to enact change. For most Americans, that disposable income number includes healthcare. There's just a stupid amount of money in that country. And while there's a huge gap and most goes to the top, enough goes to the middle class to keep them pacified.
I'm definitely not endorsing the US system; it's a system of haves and have nots and embraces a wealth divide and can be pretty bleak. But most Americans just aren't feeling as much of a financial punch as the complaints might let on.
(This isn't to invalidate Americans who are struggling... been there, been homeless, it's awful. But middle class America, even by European standards, is pretty ridiculously wealthy.)
This is what fascism is though. What you're describing is being complicit in fascism.
Well, sort of. Fascism is more precisely a marriage of nationalism and a police state with a corporatocracy where one aids the other in their goals. Which you could definitely argue is what's happening in the US, but isn't really what my point was (and certainly shouldn't be read as an endorsement!).
But yeah, that deal with devil is definitely a complicity. They've been willing to hand vast amounts of money, and rights, to the ruling class because they're been being paid very well to do so. And I don't see revolution happening until there's either a critical mass of people reaching starvation levels of poverty, or the middle class sees all that wealth they traded their rights for evaporate.
Nothing. And I get poo-pooed when I suggest this sort of thing. Fucking tired of this place, so much so that I've been looking to leave. It's difficult. I just don't think it's worth fighting for anymore.
Well that does sound like an issue. Then again it wouldn't make much more difference where to move to within the US since my understanding is states like Florida and Texas can extradite people from other States (eg.: doctors), right?
For a much more people oriented answer: I'm trying to survive. I'm trying to make sure my dad takes his medication right so he doesn't die. I'm trying to figure out how to pay bills when the local government I work for gave everyone a 2% cost of living raise, then raised taxes 3% and gave the city manager a $26,000 raise even though he was already being paid close to $200k. The only other person I know that doesn't think trump and all his cronies are the bees knees is elderly, has no retirement and is desperately trying to keep working despite health issues because her husband has cancer and she needs to keep working to pay his bills. Even if I made a ton of money and had help with my dad, I still wouldn't be able to do anything because of my health, either (I am 100% that friend who would get eaten by the zombies first) I'm not young anymore, either.
I think the internet makes it seem like a lot more people hate what's going on than there actually is. In my experience, i see a small number of crazy Trump fanatics, a small number of concerned and scared people, and then the vast majority just don't care. At least for now. That'll change when they started being affected. By then it'll be too late.
To sum up: more people don't give a shit than do. We haven't reached the part of the poem where "Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me. "
You know what's funny? The USA installed Pinochet !
salió de la moneda, pero igual no salió del helicóptero... que en pez descanse...
Qué raro ver a un chileno acá... ándate pa la casa, wn! 😁. Saludos!
They get downvoted because they attempt to mock instead of acknowledging reality of having the obstacles of the most powerful, and well funded 3 letter agencies subverting any attempt to enact real change in favor of the working class.
It’s just going to be harder than a smaller country that doesn’t have so many radically different regions.
I’ll take the unpopular point that I think is more relevant: it really isn't that bad for me and likely a lot of other people
My costs are up but I can absorb it, and materially my life isn’t that different. America should 100% buck these fascists, and I think we’re fucked as a country given the bald faced corruption + bigotry, but if my experience holds true for most of the others then it’s still not bad enough to risk what we have.
People have to lose a lot more for things to change.
He says it with enough ambiguity to claim later that what he meant was: allow ICE to do our job or the nasty immigrants and anti-fascists will cause bloodshed. But of course it's his people causing the bloodshed, not the people they're attacking.
No, it's just a crime by the letter of the law. The problem is that nobody will enforce it.
It doesn't really matter if its a crime or not. No one is enforcing it.
This is a threat directed at the American people. Allow ICE to torture their non white neighbors or there will be more Alex Pretti murders.
Hey Americans, your precious second amendment? It’s for shit like this.
Turns out all the loud card carrying 2A enthusiasts are coward bitches who were just waiting for some fascist dick to suck.
Yep. Sure would be nice if the non-fascist party hadn't didn't decades convincing their supporters that guns are evil and disarming themselves.
All of this can be true. I'm exceedingly pissed at how the vocal anti-fed 2A crowd was talking all tough, and now they're licking the heels of the feds as those agencies literally carry out all the conspiracies we were supposed to need that 2A for.
If Tyranny == Law:
Rebellion = Duty
???
Something like that?
Ugh. What a bunch of cowards.
Edit: I'm not even advocating violence. Where's all the peaceful open-carrying protests? That'd at least be a start towards a polite society.
Thugs in unmarked vans with masks would be a lot more hesitant to beat on civilians with 50 legally carried rifles in the vicinity. Jussayin.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson
I have over 50 guns. Collecting firearms was a hobby for a while.
I haven't bought one in years, but I used to get like 1 a month.
Some of us are quite well armed. There's a saying: if you go far enough left, you get your guns back. There's lots of gun clubs, all across the country, that are left wing. See Pink Pistols and the John Brown Gun Club.
I am definitely in that far left group. I have dozens of firearms of all sizes and types.
Nah. That never happened.
They simply advocated for stricter background checks and a ban on the type of firearms expressly designed to kill as many people (children) as quickly as possible.
They pushed for banning cosmetic features like carry handles and vertical grips.
They've spent decades preventing supressors from being removed from the NFA, causing hundreds of thousands to suffer hearing damage because they think a silencer makes a gun quiet when it really brings the volume down to jackhammer-level that won't instantly damage a hunter's hearing from a single shot.
They effectively stopped the progress on gun safety by creating laws in several states that mandate that once a single smart safety pistol become commercially available that all other guns be outlawed. That lead to the manufacturers refusing to develop the tech for 25 years until the laws were repealed.
California passed a law prohibiting the sale of any new model of handguns that didn't have a microstamping technology thay doesn't exist, resulting in companies like Taurus continuing to manufacture older guns with known safety issues because the newer, safer models were illegal for sale in California.
No. It’s for the government to conscript citizens to murder tax cheats.
See Shay’s Rebellion and The Whisky Rebellion.
2A is for chumps.
You know what, let's just go to the source:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
One whole sentence.
Which is why there's an entire field of U.S. law called constitutional law, and why the Supreme Court's primary role is to decide constitutional questions.
That also means we can infer the Constitution doesn't specify every type of weapon people should be allowed to own. For example, it obviously doesn't say that citizens should be able to possess intercontinental ballistic missiles.
What it does mention is "a well-regulated militia." I think that's the more important part of the Second Amendment, even though most people focus almost exclusively on "the right to keep and bear arms."
A free state can, technically, maintain its own military. That context is often overlooked in modern discussions of the amendment.
I feel the same. I've tried that angle with gun nuts before. They focus on 'militia' and infer that since the founders understood 'militia' to mean any able-bodied (white, free, man) that would answer the call to defend the territory, that same must hold true today. They also take "well regulated" to mean 'hunter's safety', 'handgun registration', 'serial numbers', and 'hunting licenses'.
The mental gymnastics put Thomas and the other Reich members on the SC to shame. (not really)
Man I hope that monster winds up in Leavenworth, or stood up in front of a firing squad, once adults take charge of things.
Holding people ACCOUNTABLE for Murdering Americans would be POLITICAL therefore we must FORGIVE and FORGET and Hope it doesn't Happen AS BAD next Time!
-LITERALLY The Democrats!
It was so disgusting seeing the """"left leaning"""" news networks sit there giving softball interviews to trump, because otherwise they'd seem biased! You can't just sit there talking about the crimes the presidential candidate is committing, that's too partisan...???????
Fuck those complicit ghouls 🤷♂️
root and branch
Republicans and Democrats, coworkers. I wonder what the watercooler talk is like.
how many children do you bleed out into your bath every night?
Reach across the aisle©
Notice the way this balances murders, on the one hand, against talking about the murders, on the other hand. As if those were comparable, as if those were two sides of the same coin.
It's the "respect me and I'll respect you" thing again. "Respect us (as an authority) and we'll respect you (as humans)."
This man is a traitor to our nation.
If justice is to be restored he must be tried and executed or, at minimum, imprisoned for life.
Not that I disagree, but if we're executing everyone thats a traitor to restore justice, we're gonna have to build a crematorium larger than even the germans could have thought possible to handle all the corpses.
Then let the ash blot out the sun.
I don't see the problem here.
Turns out the bloodshed also continues if we say/do nothing about it too, so we may as well say/do something about it anyway.
Openly admitting to being killers, not allowing free speech, telling to "shut their mouth", down hard in the polls, and doubling down with threats of rigging the elections.
Very cool. When do we get to the public trials and punishments for these nazis? Are we really just gonna let these idiots run this government until 2028?
We aren't publicly talking about deposing and jailing these people and that's just unacceptable
Until 2028? Oh sweetie, 2028 will be just another fascist year at this rate. Seeing things from the outside looks like you are already in a dictatorship but still don't realize. The results of 2026 will tell the world if there will be elections or "elections" in 2028.
It's maddening. At least around my part of the country, the 250th anniversary Independence Day celebrations were fairly muted. It's like people know it in their bones. But you're right, "America" is over, and most of us have realized it yet.
This is what I'm saying. Political violence is 100% a valid form of protest.
It's not the first pick, more like second or third, but we're WELL past that point.
Yup.
At this point I won't even feel satisfied with life behind bars.
If you betray a nation (330 million+ people) you get tried and executed. Period. This nation has done it before for FAR less egregious forms of treason than what we've seen over the last 10 years.
Ice isn't enforcing any laws. They are randomly grabbing people and in most cases they are let either right away or after a bit of discovery and such. They so badly don't want due process because they are not actually going after anyone legally. Its why people have been deported and returned. They just want carte blanche to be judge jury and executioners.
Yes. Trump wants his own "brown shirts" who will then become the SS division.
(tangentially I am ticked off they kept stealing Tutonic and Norse symbols (and one very prominent Indian one) and turned them into "symbols of hate". The SS uses Suwilo ( it looks like an angular "s" or "stylized lightning bolt".)
I get your tangent. Its like. You think your going to valhalla dude. Pretti and goode will go to valhalla. You not so much.
Communicating in text is sometimes difficult. I expect you weren't saying I'm not gonna go to Valhalla. Putting quotes around the phrase would make it clear.
I'm more of German descent than Scandinavian and I understand that their mythologies were fairly similar. For example, today's Santa Claus is actually Teutonic Wotan. It blew my mind when I learned that. I'm just very fascinated by Norse mythology. I blame the old Thor comics that I read when I was a kid that were actually versions of stories of Thor in Valhalla.
Amazingly they were kind of sort of based on the actual legends. The death of Baldr by Loki's treachery, the birth of Sleipnir by Loki when he was in horse form. The half-giant Thor, famous for felling giants.
no I mean the ice agents who believe in the bs are not. even if the bs is real because they would not meet the requirement.
Homan looks like a cancer riddled scrotum.
That needs to be removed by Dr. Luigi.
Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
The USA has become a nuclear NAZI stronghold.
Where is B.J. Blazkowicz when one needs him ?
Ice is state sponsored domestic terrorism.
This stubbed toe in a suit is threatening to kill people.
Welcome to the new reality. The United States is a fascist country. It will be a fascist country for the foreseeable future. Face it and prepare.
I wonder what you call an organization that use terror to get what it want... /s
USA
What happened to the bag with $50,000 in cash that the FBI gave you?
Be prepared to answer for that at your 2027 Congressional hearing.
Save it for the Hague.
This guy is a criminal no different than some loose nutcase murderer who kills people at random to vent his frustration. He needs to be kept in solitary confinement for life.
Homan is a sack of shit SS and/or NKVD worshipper.
These kinds of threats justify self-defense. Organize and arm up now(if you haven't already), and possibly remove the threat before it becomes actualized.
So, he's now guilty of premeditated murder. ICE → KGB/RED GUARD/KKK/etc
This is a convenient Trumpism with double meaning. They get to say, “no he means the left is endangering federal agents with their violent rhetoric!” and then we say, “Homan is holding us hostage by saying not to resist or they’ll kill us.”
Remember that it is immigrants and protesters who are actually being murdered, and that Homan is the one making the threats.
but they're definitely not terrorists, guys
USA is a terrorist country. this cannot be disputed. only the level to which it is a terrorist country can be.
Let us be as brutal and ruthless as we want, or else!
Is he drunk in that interview, or does he just always sound like that?
He's always drunk.
tough words from a guy who's hardest struggle is fighting his way into his human suit in the morning
He is not a lizard man. It's right in his name, Tom Hu—er... Homan.
🕵️
This administration is a bunch aof ghouls.
You can call them ghouls. I call them traitors.
There will be bloodshed regardless, as ICE are murderous thugs. Might as well take some of them with you.
He was the inspiration for one of my favorite Star Trek episodes, the one with the moronic Pakleds.
We Americans have explicit rights. We have the right of freedom of speech. We have the right to peaceably assemble to protest. These are explicitly given by the Constitution and cannot be taken away.
If Homan doesn't like the rights that we have, he has only one remedy. He just has to get used to it, and help protect our rights. If he can't do that, he has violated the oath of office that I believe he took, and he has no right to keep that job. Otherwise, he'd be a liar and an oath breaker.
Lamo to be spouting constitutionalist hopium at this stage of the descent.
These [rights] are explicitly given by the Constitution and cannot be taken away.
Then explain how they took away Alex Pretti's rights. Political power does not come from a Constitution; it comes from the barrel of a gun.
Also keep in mind your constitution is the only one I know of that explicitly enshrines the right to enslave people.
Is that a threat?
I can't wait for this guy's judgement day.
How about, no?
If Homan doesn't shut the fuck up, someone might shed his blood. Just an observation.
Don't threaten me with a good time, cunt.
I've still yet to see the ice cowards go into the dangerous neighborhoods where the problems truly lie.
Perhaps Homan needs a taste of his own medicine? Do unto others and all that. He should be fine with the terrorizing given his previous choices.
So he's threatening over 100 million people? Let's see how that plays out for him.
I guess, literally, he probably means that if Democrats do not allow ICE to deport criminals, potential murderers, & rapists, then there would be bloodshed by those criminals who could have been deported if ICE had not been thwarted. In other words, the people who might harm others & could have been removed from the country would still remain here committing crimes.
However, in light of recent events involving ICE shooting at what appears to me to have been an anxious, bad female driver, the statement sounds much worse/more-ominous/baleful.
P.S. I do not like masked government officials, even if there are people associated with groups like ANTIFA who are willing to murder over this issue. However, I would rather be able to hold government officials accountable. If an ANTIFA member murders someone, they should go to jail, just like an ICE agent should go to jail if they murder someone.
Please stroke out already Homany…
Okay. I'm a Republican. Fuck ICE.
You voted for this.
You’ve betrayed your neighbors and communities, you’ve supported raping of children, given a pass to pedophiles and let the billionaires and oligarchs dismantle our social systems; destroying the middle class and oppressing minorities.
You’ve allowed the right for a woman to decide her own fate and health concerns to be governed by rapists and thieves.
Rot in hell.
May leopards feast on your face for eternity.
Sorry to break that self-righteous rage of yours on the rocks of independent voting.
I voted (and have) straight Democratic ticket. Always.
But I like making sure during the --> primaries, <-- (hello, pay attention here..) that as a registered Republican, I can choose the candidates with the least chance of going anywhere.
Also, I'm on the right-wing mailing lists so I know what the state GOP is up to, and can bring it up in the right way to torpedo their plans.
Tactics kid.. tactics.
Oh, well about the leopard’s feasting ur face for eternity..I take that back, lol.
LOL No problem. I didn't take it personally, since I don't really advertise my voting agenda.
Is actually an old Rush Limbaugh move, in that he would tell his listeners to register Democrat and do the same thing - primary in the weakest candidates.. Which, well.. got me thinking.. Since he's dead, why not use his own tactics against the right?
Hell yeah!
Hmm. Turnabout is fair play, wouldn't you agree?
I can do it with a clean conscience because the area I live in is solidly Democrat and the Democratic candidates are fairly well known and popular. Also, there's nothing stopping me as a registered Republican from canvassing and helping Democratic candidates - which I've done on occasion when there's a real tight race.
There's a part of me that cries for what the Party of Lincoln has collapsed into - surely the first Republican President who was absolutely progressive and stopped slavery, would be dismayed by what the GOP's become.. And there's another part of me that remembers Reagan's shitty statements about the poor and families on welfare and his whole "trickle down" economics which is like piss on all of us - and I am just tickled pink it's rotten to the core now.
I blame Roger Stone, Paul Manafort and Lee Atwater for the current classist, racist zeitgeist in the GOP, esp. in the south. It was always there of course, but those three cunts gave it a contemporary spin.
If you've got the time hit the wiki on the Southern Strategy. It's a long read but frames the context of a ton of the shit politics that the GOP is currently operating on.

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, 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.
