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.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


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 am willing to lay a bet that they completely fuck this up.

Minivans tangled in razor wire.
Road warriors in their pavement princesses sunk into the Rio.
Immigrants crossing elsewhere.

I bet one gets pulled over by a statie because expired tags/speeding/reckless driving and takes a shot at a cop or two. Then they get absolutely swiss-cheesed by local authorities

Local authorities will let this pass the same as they let these fuckwits run a Biden campaign bus off the road in 2020. It's Texas, local authorities love this shit

I think they’ll fuck it up the same way that truck protest in DC fucked up. They’ll spend a couple of weeks sleeping in parking lots and pissing in Gatorade bottles while live streaming (no pun intended) asking for donations. Then there be a cult split where multiple people claim ownership of the movement and denounce each other, and they’ll all be very sad that although people follow them on a streaming service and post about how great they are, 99% of them are going to be limiting themselves to Truth Social support and $25 donations.

These things are like Only Fans for fascists, but they’re also in direct competition with each other for a limited grift audience.

Most aren't in Texas yet. They are leaving Florida and traveling through multiple states. Plenty of time to pull a piece on one.
