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.

MODERATORS
it has nothing to do with his skin color. you're accusation of racism absolutely has zero merit... and I suspect you're making it because it's quite literally the only defense you have for this guy.
My dislike of him has everything to do with how he's ruling, and the asininely stupid arguments he uses to make them.
Oh. Did you know that Clarence Thomas has:
and that's all just in the last few years. Thomas, along with Roberts (an idiot who thinks that the problem with SCOTUS' lack of integrity isn't... you know... justices lacking integrity... it's people talking about how they don't have integrity) , Kavenaugh (a frat boi who really wants us to know he likes beer, and also a rapist), Barret (.... where do I even start...) and Gorsuch (who also has problems with corruption.)
Oh and if the gifts were entirely legitimate and not at all scandalous... why not report them... like... you know... he's technically obligated to...? receiving millions of dollars worth of gifts from billionaires who are all very likely to have matters come before the court... and to have indirect interests as well... IS FUCKING CORRUPT.
lets say that again louder:
CLARENCE THOMAS IS ACCEPTING BRIBES AND YOUR ACCUSING PEOPLE POINTING THIS OUT OF RACISM, WITHOUT EVER DENYING THAT HE IS IN FACT ACCEPTING MILLIONS IN BRIBES.
