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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
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
It amuses me that they believe that people who dislike Trump love Biden. They can't seem to grasp that you don't have to be fanatically loyal to the party leader.
I don’t believe any of this… but IF it were true, I think Biden would just be the Lacky so that the true leader could remain in the shadows.
Again I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS… just saying
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.
Hope they catch and prosecute the doxxers.
You don’t have to catch all the rats, just make a ‘example’ of the ones you can catch. Ranchers spread the bones and skins of wolves and coyotes around their herds grazing areas to give pause any who would think they would get a meal scott free
Terrorism
"The indictment issued Monday lists the names of the grand jury members but not their addresses or other personal information."
Maybe including their names isn't such a great idea? Can't they seal them so that only legal parties are aware? This precedent is jury tampering for all future cases
It's a law specific to Georgia. An article about it here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/08/15/fulton-county-jurors-names-public-threats-trump/
Not to mention, if you post legal name and the juror has voted, then their address is already public record. Shedding a light on it like this is purely malicious.
Yeah they are right there on page 9 of the indictment
https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/1ccdf52e-1ba2-434c-93f8-2a7020293967.pdf
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.
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.
Who, even on the full-left, would cause an issue in person?
There's not a lot of credibility to the idea something could happen. Physically, at least.
And if anything happens to the jury members, get those Trump "supporters" as "aiding and abetting" in whatever case develops.
I’m done asking wtf is wrong with these people.
They want a war, and won't stop until they get to live out their fantasy of being able to use all the guns they love so much.
I'll be sure to send them a lovely fruit basket for their patriotism!
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
