News
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.

Too late unfortunately.
Also suing them does nothing? The DOJ has been weaponized.
Going a step beyond non-violent protests would be better.
Civil suits are not in DOJ purview
I understand that, but I also don't expect this administration to play by ANY of the former rules or laws.
Defeatist mentality only helps nazi's.
Lmao fascist will never be stopped by paperwork
Right now the defeatest mentality is sitting around and asking nicely for our elected representatives to stop supporting a fascist agenda while they ignore us and keep supporting fascism.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Bold talk, you're here posting negativity. Show us how it's done!
Well for you specifically, don't listen to that little part of your brain that gives you dopamine for attacking people unless you actually focus your energy twoards an actual enemy. Unity is more important than ever as the right seeks to kill minorities and put immigrants in camps.
For everyone:
Get involved with local organizations that foster community and support systems that can enable general strikes.
Go to city council meetings, email every politician in your area with a list of what they should and should not support, and be very vocal. Make it clear if your local government supports the goals of the Trump admin then your organizations will support their opposition and they will be removed from office.
Fight right wing ideologies in every space. If your coworker, friend, family, random stranger says some bigot shit snap at them and force them to feel ashamed. Make sure they understand this rhetoric from the right leads to shooting each other in the streets over cosmetics.
I'm doing my part in my town.
If you'll read what I've written here you'll note I haven't attacked anyone.
Glad to know you ignored everything else because you just want someone to bitch at.

You only wrote two sentences for me, the rest was for everyone else. You are being a negative person who is making it harder for others to fight fascisn. Good luck on your struggles.
If you take a peek at their profile, that seems to be their m.o.
I only found this thread because I was curious what would lead a person to treat me like they treated me yesterday. It seems they're either a very angry person or they are trying very hard to sew discord in the West.
This conversation is dumb and I am dumber for having read it.
Exactly, they already got access....
I'm unfortunately not confident that the administration would respect a ruling that's not in their favor if it did happen. Will somebody actually enforce the ruling?
