A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Soon: Trump supporters who posted names and addresses of Georgia grand jurors online have names and addresses posted in arrest warrants.
I hope. Hey "patriots", maybe don't try to interfere with the justice system when it's acting in accordance with state/ federal laws and American principles.
The problem is, not doing so is tantamount to treason to them. The election was stolen, this isn't the USA anymore. This is some deep state globalist conspiracy. They're so far gone that the only path forward is to threaten war and physical harm to others.
Imagine. Some deep state conspiracy and the best person they could put in power was Joe fuckin Biden...lmao
That's some powerful malarkey they're on. Almost enough to make me think the Union lost the civil war when the Confederates were brought back in. Stuff like this is how it's been coming back to bite us.
Malarkey is a hell of a thing
yeah almost like a drug even, and they are raging, tweaking freaks for it
As is tradition. The Union won the war but lost the peace.
The inability of the good to do seemingly "evil" things for the sake of good will be the downfall of humanity.
Example: imprisoning a psycopathic narcissist who thinks they can literally murder someone and get away with it. Good people should be OK with such a person losing freedoms!
There was a reason that in some conflicts you don’t let anyone walk away, cause embers buried deep can simmer for generations and pop out and burn you alive
which makes them enemies we are allowed to fight
I'll fight em. Despite being in WV, there aren't too many confrontational people here. And I'm in arguably the most liberal part, so I'm decently insulated from the crazies. People always say "liberals don't have guns", but it's more "liberals don't cosplay with their guns when they go to the store"...
"liberals don't cosplay with their guns when they go to the store"...
nail on head.. stay strong.. ;-)
Stochastic terror 101: feed intel to useful idiots, hoping to have them do your dirty work while pleading plausible deniability. The minute someone buys it from this nonsense the hammer needs to come down HARD.
Those grand jurors almost certainly knew this would happen, and they voted to indict anyway. That kind of courage to defend the rule of law is the best of America.
They're almost certainly fake names, give them rope they'll hang themselves.
I don't know, man. I'm kinda worried about this coming up elections. This man has no problem starting a full on civil war for his own fucking ego, and his followers genuinely believe that he cares about them and that they're actually "serving/saving the country".
This man has no problem starting a full on civil war for ~~his own fucking ego~~ his partners in the Kremlin.
maybe we should just kick their asses and tell them to shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down.. they're all cowards and traitors.. they got nuthin..
Well they tried it once. We just have to hope they stay stupid and incompetent if there's a next time. I haven't seen any indication that they've accumulated some brain cells so that's a good sign right?
Hopefully homeboy is dropping the soap before he has the chance to run again
Hope they catch and prosecute the doxxers.
Terrorism
It’d be a real shame if the doxxers had their names and addresses leaked. There’d be no telling who’d show up to their residences to say hello.
I’m done asking wtf is wrong with these people.
Is the secret service required to defend the courthouse/jail if these idiots try anything?
I think everyone involved in the prosecution should have federal protection. That tells you a lot about the defendant and their supporters.
If anything happens to anyone of the jurors, just charge those doxxers with "aiding and abetting".
Their names were on the indictment published in national news unfortunately, so this was a foregone conclusion. Idiot trump supporters likely also don't know grand juries are supermajority vote, not unaimous.
Serious question... How hard was it to find this information before it was posted as a resource? They released the names of the grand jurors in the indictment so I can imagine a quick Google search of the name would produce whatever information the user wanted.
It was taken from something that required an active search to something you could passively learn was available to you.
Much as has happened to almost all of us. Thats not nothing.
It probably wasn't too hard to find, but this is still creepy and unhinged. It's like threatening someone by saying "I know where you live!" You never know what kind of people might see the info who otherwise wouldn't have.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
ATLANTA — The purported names and addresses of members of the grand jury that indicted Donald Trump and 18 of his co-defendants on state racketeering charges this week have been posted on a fringe website that often features violent rhetoric, NBC News has learned.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis faced racist threats ahead of the return of the indictment and additional security measures were put in place, with some employees being allowed to work from home.
The grand juror's purported addresses were spotted by Advance Democracy, Inc., a non-partisan research group founded by Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI investigator and staffer for the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
“It’s becoming all too commonplace to see everyday citizens performing necessary functions for our democracy being targeted with violent threats by Trump-supporting extremists," Jones said.
Advance Democracy also noted that users were posting on other social media sites the names and images of people believed to have been grand jurors.
— Advance Democracy noted that Trump supporters were "using the term ‘rigger’ in lieu of a racial slur" in posts online.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This is terroristic behavior, no? What's the plan now? Approach those properties? Then what? Threaten or harass? Ffs man, lock Trump up and these loonies. Restore civil order
They honestly never think it through. Every single one of their thoughts is literally one step ahead but then they never think about the next step.
As a result they walk themselves to the end of a logical path and then find there's a big cliff with fires and spikes at the bottom, and can't figure out what to do about it and then get angry. Most normal people are capable of thinking through implications and work out what's a bad idea ahead of time and then don't do it.
