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.

Some of us know and are incredibly frustrated and disheartened by it, but we're still the minority. The state has a monopoly on violence at any meaningful scale. What are we supposed to do while we wait for the rest of the country to wake up? All we can do is talk about it and try to get them to see what's happening.
We’re in the minority because most folks aren’t bothering to pay attention.
Or they just blithely assume that it will all go back to normal in four years and choose to ignore it.
We’re all gonna suffer the consequences of the majority believing that it can’t happen here
Financially secure white guys keep telling me to hunker down until it blows over.
Even if Trump doesn't survive until then, and even if the best possible Democrat is able to become the next president, it will take decades to clean up Trump's mess, and at least the same amount of time for the rest of the world to start trusting the USA and Americans again.
We hoped you'd have learned how much of a mistake Trump was the first time, and then you just go and make the same mistake again a few years later.
This is a mess of your own making, and you have to fix your own shit.
Until then, the rest of us will be out here using your example as a warning, and getting on with our lives.
Dude the US is never having another election again, that doesn't involve having (1) candidate on the ballot, ala Russia.
Trump barely won the popular vote. So get off your high horse.
The fact he could shit the bed so fucking hard in his first term and then still get elected is a huge indictment on the USofA.
I agree that is a huge indictment of our electoral system. Which is garbage.
The 'Divide and rule' strategy worked after all. Although the government could have blocked the channels for sowing hate and fear earlier
You said it. Right on the nose. More Republicans own guns versus democrats, and most cops are Republicans, so the side with more common sense voted their gun rights away years ago and are sitting with their proverbial dicks in their hands.
Well hurry up and get it over with, I’m sick of this waiting shit. Pussy ass magas.
Who voted their gun rights away?
California, Washington, New York.
Oh yes the California that checks notes had the Black Panthers patrolling with guns because no one else could be bothered and then Regan and his cronies enacted the most extreme gun laws in the country. Those damn libs!
What's ironic is that it was Republicans in power at the time, as well as the NRA support, which passed the bill.
