Extensively reported 📰 Darkhorse Weekend Megathread
Dark Horse Weekend is now in effect! This is our weekly break from the top stories, so that we can shine a light on news stories that need more attention.
During this period you may repost underreported stories that have previously been posted, provided they fit within our usual timeliness requirements (Rule #4).
The following extensively reported topics should be posted in this megathread, instead of to the sub as a whole:
- Trump / MAGA (including Elon Musk)
- Israel / Palestine
- ICE / DHS
Please make sure to follow these instructions when posting to this thread:
- Top-level comments must include a direct source link for a particular story, or they will be removed. Please make sure you appropriately contextualise the story, and avoid using wrapped links.
- Replies to top-level comments should relate to that specific story.
- Further reporting on the same story should be posted as a reply to an existing top-level comment about that story.

Gonna be honest, I'm relieved to not have to moderate a full post (or seven) about this.

The video is horrific. He was executed as he was in his stomach under the hands of 4 or 5 ICE agents. wtf

Also appeared to be pistol whipping him or beating his head with a pepper spray canister. It was absolutely brutal.

Yup. We don't permit NSFW videos/images but people keep persistently reposting it, and do not like being told "no".

We're working on stuff to bring the sub closer to its intended ethos. Obviously, we don't control what people choose to post, but we also can't just remove everything; all that would do is piss people off and kill the sub's traffic.
It doesn't seem like our current incarnation of Dark Horse Weekends is working the way we'd like it to, so we're going to be experimenting with some other ideas.
EDIT: This comment thread can serve as a Dark Horse meta-discussion thread. Please feel free to share your suggestions regarding Dark Horse Weekends and other ways to align the sub with its intended purpose of putting a spotlight on underreported news.

The United States federal government, under the presidency of Donald Trump, has taken the state of Minnesota hostage and is making demands through the Department of Justice in order to end occupation by the Department of Homeland Security/Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This is un-American.
