32·2 days agoI had been posting (and commenting with) positive news about the country prior to the election, to a chorus of up voted comments saying otherwise.
Lemmy is infested.
Down votes don’t make me wrong.
Yea I mean, Poynter is a non-profit fact checking and journalism institute… They launched IFCN. Square all those accusations you’re seeing around here for me :)
But don’t report on those things, because it’s irresponsible to do that. It’s simply to fill the 24/7 news cycle, not to inform anyone (despite this being a fact checking institute). /s
What is going on in this sub?
It might be beneficial for some to understand the “what” and “why” behind the “no,” no?
Thank you. The number of up votes the comments get saying that we shouldn’t even bother discussing this are staggering.
Maybe we shouldn’t inform the population about this… And any other of Trump’s plans since they’re so obviously bad they don’t need explanation?
Simply irresponsible to not do so, especially after an election where so much of the population were convinced Trump would be better for the economy. If anything we should be working harder to inform people, not looking for reasons to avoid these topics. What if someone saw that RFK would be doing this and saw no counter to his misinformation? Because it’s below someone to even discuss?
It’s a duty to inform people, and I’m glad poynter is taking the initiative.
If only we knew Trump would do something like this…

I’m a little confused… Did you read it?
Can you describe how preventing trump, who participated in an insurrection, from holding office is fascist?
Of course they won’t, but damn they should.
Because of Congress’ current political makeup (Republicans control the House) — that almost certainly won’t happen by Jan. 20, when Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president.
Which makes no mention of confining it to religion, it supports exactly what I’ve said.
Who does the definition cover?
The definition applies whether Jewish identity is understood as ethnic, biological, religious, cultural, etc. It also applies in cases where a non-Jewish person or institution is either mistaken for being Jewish (“discrimination by perception”) or targeted on account of a connection to Jews (“discrimination by association”).
Thank you for confirming that, and no, I’ve said nothing about how the us definition is terrible.
The article and mayor are objectively correct in denouncing the antisemitism. Those are the facts, and that’s it. To suggest the article or mayor is lying to further your argument is misinformation.
I will not entertain any further argument from you in this regard. The facts are against you.
Afterwards, youths on scooters and on foot crisscrossed the city in search of Israeli fans, punching and kicking them and then fleeing quickly to evade police, Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema said.
In Telegram groups, she added, “there is talk of people going on a Jew hunt. That is so shocking and so despicable that I still cannot fathom it.”
Antisemitism. End of discussion. There is no argument that makes this ok. I refuse to engage with anyone furthering the idea that there’s any good reason to physically attack these people. Additionally, it is objectively false that antisemitism is confined to attacking religious people for their religion. That is a lie, and it is insanely dangerous to further that sentiment.

Have a good day!
Which gives the attackers license to be physically violent against those they disagree with?
Odd double standard.
Israeli fans were assaulted after a soccer game in Amsterdam by hordes of young people apparently riled up by calls on social media to target Jewish people, Dutch authorities said Friday. Five people were treated for injuries at hospitals and dozens were arrested.
Tensions had been mounting in the Dutch capital over Israel’s campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon, even before Thursday night’s Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Amsterdam authorities banned a planned pro-Palestinian demonstration near the stadium, and video showed a large crowd of Israeli fans chanting anti-Arab slogans en route to the game.

The alternative was apparently not inspiring enough to vote for (/s). You know, someone who isn’t that.
(I voted gladly for Harris)
The article was posted on the 5th prior to the election being called.
But don’t you see how Democrats were taught a lesson for not putting forth a candidate better than Trump? /s

In 2020, about half of Americans said abortion should be legal in all or most cases. In 2024, it’s about two-thirds of Americans who say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. But they didn’t necessarily tie that support to their vote for president. Nearly half of people who say abortion should be legal in most cases supported Trump.
The median voter is a tangled mess of contradictions.
It was the headline that loaded when I put the URL in, if I can change the headline to what it currently says I will.
Done.
I Camembert the tragic loss.
Honestly don’t understand how hostages weren’t a required part of that resolution.
Edited to include the “required” component. There is nothing requiring a hostage release with the ceasefire, to clarify my initial statement.
