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.

I know we're all itching for some good news but this is just a Twitter spat, hardly an AlL OuT cIviL wAr.
I'll believe it when they start tangibly sabotaging each other. They have a tendency to fall in line in practice.
They fall in line when they have a common, reachable enemy. As another user recently said, which I believe was wise. - paraphrased: The only reason they're fighting is because we haven't made ourselves a target.
Let's not ignore that there's a real, policy-based disagreement here. Tech companies like to be able to import top talent from wherever they can get it (and are generally correct that this is overall beneficial), while white nationalists are dead set against the idea, as it strikes directly against the very core of their values.
It's a legit disagreement, and pretty foundational.
That said, I do overall agree that we're kinda beaten at the moment, and too busy licking our wounds and regrouping to care that much about this.
It isn't that we aren't targets, only that we aren't currently making ourselves immediately targetable. That said, we do need to brush off our fairly minor defeatism and deal immediately with the slowly encroaching apathy. Yes, the cult idiots will get theirs as they will be a majority negatively impacted moving forward, however we do need to collectively step up constantly.
I truly believe we can make it the two years necessary to set in a rather sizable doorstop. We just need to work together on attainable goals.
MAGA doesn't want to promote of accomplish a stardard political goal like most other political parties. MAGA just wants to win. Once they've won and defeated their enemy, they need to find a new one. First, it was Obama, then Biden, Harris, immigrants, BLM, infectious disease experts, southern immigrants, and on and on...But they don't really believe their platform. It's unstable and lacks internal consistency because they say whatever to win. Once they beat their enemy, they have no goal. It all falls apart. I think the smart strategy for the next 2 years is for Democrats to stay out of the news, out of social media, and irrelevant. Let MAGA go at each other.
Lara Loomer losing her checkmark on Twitter is a bigger deal than you think it is.
Is it checkmate? 🤔
Just buy a new one what's the big deal, anybody can buy those now
No you see, Elon is a "Free Speech absolutest." Which is supposed to mean MAGA can say what they want. I believe Elon just canceled her. Does MAGA finally realize that these Oligarch billionaires are going to use Trump to fuck the whole country sideways for personal gain....? No because they are apparently blind and stupid.
At the very least its fun to watch Loomer's face getting eaten.
Fuck Elon also. Looking forward to seeing how the karma plays out. 🍿
Remember how the old Soviet Union had leadership which was very opaque, and there were a whole class of "Kremlinologists" who would figure out who was in favor by how closely they were standing to the Soviet Premier in photographs of public events?
This is similar, we can figure out who is close to our new Prime Minister by how he treats them on Twitter. "X-ologists"? It's dumb, but so is everything in this timeline.
For real. There was an all out civil war in America, it happened in the 1860s.
