Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

This is just the right kind of absurd for our current government circus. I believe the headline completely without even reading the article.

Also apparently any photo of any Black or woman service member.

Because they didn't consider the possibility that women and Black service members did noteworthy things based on their actual merit.

They know exactly what they're doing, it's a "purification," not entirely dissimilar to the same that happened in the 1930s in Germany.

I think most people realise. It's still really fucking dumb

I was really hoping this was a case of intentional malicious compliance to draw attention to the stupidity of this new policy. No such luck.
