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.

You are right, but also, I think it’s okay to take the small victories where they are. They shouldn’t have to be applauded for doing the bare minimum, but when this bare minimum is a big middle finger to the administration I’ll look the other way
I agree, but in the right circumstances. Posting it here in the comment section is one thing, we're discussing their actions. But some people (not you, necessarily) will take it a step further and go bully a company when they take a good step because the step wasn't big/good enough. We gotta positively reinforce good behavior
It's also about how much power Trump has though.
I wonder if they could point towards their secession when handling that. Technically Disneyland and world aren't part of America, but they're not recognized as sovereign states by any country so they might have a hard time really putting that fight up
Look into "Company towns" a bit. It could be done right, but putting that into the hands of the current oligarchs would be a spell for destruction
But I like your sentiment. I actually am planning to start a non-profit apartment complex and I'm trying to get my employer to be a primary investor. I plan on offering them a temporary exclusivity deal if they'll let me build close enough to where we work but I'll have to look into the laws about that. Exclusivity deals are a lil weird around housing, might not actually be able to offer that
A few years ago, Disney seceded from the union. I'm not entirely certain what rights they actually have in their current state but technically the land under Disneyland is not part of America as far as I understand
My friend, have you not been paying attention? Trump doesn't give a shit about any of that. He's burning all the bridges to "eradicate woke".
