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.

Australia
My fiancée and I are working on her visa to get her here with me
Canada or Australia would probably be my top choice, but it seems like they've also become a target for far right propaganda

Their goal is and always has been global domination. I worry you can only run so far before it eventually finds you wherever you end up. I'm definitely trying to plan an emergency exit strategy, but I think we always need to remember the more people that flee the easier it is to completely take over. Once that happens, I am very doubtful the authoritarian axis will be satisfied. They'll just start plotting how to continue taking over other countries.
Look at what the U.S. was just caught doing in Greenland. If it sounds familiar it's because these guys are all getting their strategy from the same playbook.
Of course that's the calculus. Stay and fight the disinformed where I am, or go to a more well-defended location?
It's easy to forget that record numbers of US citizens have gone from proudly having belief with no evidence in a Sky Daddy, to not having any affiliation with anti-reason traditions
From only 8% back in 1980, up to 2024 where 25+% are now at least ostensibly members of the reality-based community

Australia is very very hard to emigrate to if you have no link to it. I'd wager most Americans wouldn't make it.
Most places are hard to emigrate to unless you have a degree that’s valuable and/or have familial ties to the country.
If the US gets too insane then the undocumented crisis might reverse direction as undocumented americans migrate out of the country as refugees.
There's a specific visa for people who have skills in high demand
