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.

Isn’t all of Vermont south of the border?
And almost all of it within the 100 mile border zone?
Hey Vermont you got some maple syrup and Bernie Sanders, want to join Canada? We have poutine.
Northwoods Law shows me Vermont has lots of bears and trailer trash hillbillies too.
Vermont is pretty overwhelmingly progressive but, more than that, they're strongly community and social service oriented. Those later two points are usually what causes a rift between the VT GOP and the national party.
Super Troopers shows me they have bear fuckers too so...
Thankfully, we never agreed not to secede...
Ah shucks, what a shame. They were just a few days away from getting to raid Democrat-led cities under the false pretense of migrant crime. If they'd just held out a little bit longer, they could have been gunned down in New York or Chicago.
Hell yeah, another border agent down. It's a tragedy that the person they were trying to arrest also died, though.
Oh gosh golly that's too bad.. Anyway..
One down...
3 weeks ago, on the opposite side...
… and an entire continent away.
