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.

You’re right. I should just give up and let her get marched into a camp in the U.S. No point in trying to save her. She’s a lost cause. Thanks for the excellent advice.

As for where we could run, I have dual citizenship with the UK and, believe it or not, they don’t even have conversion therapy

UK doesn't have it for now you mean. UK did Britexit whatever you call it. This Trump win and the christian right getting control of America will just fuel more far right governments. UK will turn hard to the right now. You might get two years.

ALSO I SAID TO FIGHT NOTHING ABOUT STANDING BY AND WATCHING IT HAPPEN. You don’t own guns? Then you better go buy some I am.

What do you think happened to the Jews that stayed behind to fight the Nazis? I can tell you. It’s why most of my family tree got trimmed. And my family wasn’t the Nazis in this equation.

“The UK doesn’t have a Project 2025 yet, so risk her being put in a camp before you get imprisoned for resistance” isn’t the selling point you think it is.

Sorry what happened to your family, and I wish I can promise it won't happen again. But its happening and this time its happening to America. Same one who has largest military in the world. So no can save us this time but ourselves.

How is running to country that outlaws you owning a fire arm better then one that allows you to. For now anyway. We can fight and win. We have one shot. Not over yet almost. We should organize the largest strike in history. Shut it all down. Refuse to go to work all of us. Until are demands are met.

If we do that Now while Biden still in charge maybe we can force them to put guardrail up to protect us from the worse of what Trump wants to do.

One stop him from dismantling our government in turn for loyalties.

Oh I see. This is all about guns to you.

Sorry, I’m going to move to the other country I’m a citizen of. You go ahead and feel proud that you stayed and fought when your family gets marched into camps. Guns won’t help you.

My family won't be march into no fucking camp. One were white we can hide who we are for a little while. And rather die fighting then run. You run they catch you eventually you can't run away from fascism.

One were white we can hide who we are for a little while.

Congratulations on your privilege. According to future Trump cabinet member Elon Musk, we aren’t white.

But your opposition to my choosing to live in a country where I’m a legal citizen is noted.
