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.

Can't wait till people start shooting ICE and the police on sight because they were pushed too far.
I'm genuinely surprised it hasn't happened yet. They're probably staying out of the most sketchy neighborhoods.
This is exactly it. They're specifically targeting people they know can't or won't fight back, like literal kids with cancer.
The best way is if everyone arms themselves. Then if the incident happens, several people shoot and immediately run. Plan your escape before shooting.
It really seems like they're hitting blue states hardest and where gun ownership is less common.
It’s almost like the “left” in the US shouldn’t have leaned on anti-2nd amendment rhetoric for 30 years.
2nd amendment doesn’t mean everyone should be allowed to own an automatic rifle. There is nuance here, please think.
I am not playing games when I say that I wish more American leftists owned automatic rifles.
You do realise that automatic rifle ownership by civilians is incredibly illegal in the US, right? And has been for almost 100 years... An AR-15 is not an automatic rifle.
Right. So gun laws in the states are either too restrictive or poorly written.
¿que?
Christ. At this point, US liberals deserve whatever’s coming. Good luck.
Are you calling me one? I'm an Australian socalist/greens voter 😂
I’m saying you’re helping with their messaging, at least
By doing what? You said something that didn't make sense, and I questioned it.
But if you wanted to get into the whole anti-2nd amendment stuff, well, I'm glad we have stricter laws here. I never had to fear dying from a shooting in high school, I never had to go through metal detectors, or deal with cops on campus. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I know you said rhetoric, not actual 2A, but I will continue to say this every time I see it, this is not what 2A is for. It's clearly for militias defending the state against an enemy army. It's been mutilated into self defence stuff, but there's nothing even approaching that there.
However, 9A does protect this right, since it has long been held by the people. Regardless, the reasoning doesn't matter. People should be armed and train in operation and safe handling/storage/maintenance of their weapon, just in case it's needed.
I can’t possibly express how little I care about anything you wrote.
Get guns, kill Nazis. It’s not complex.
Wow, I didn't even write much and you lost the thread that quickly. I was agreeing with the premise.
I mean, they are supporting nazis, so they are nazis themselves. And the only good nazi is a dead nazi so...
Can’t wait till martial law? Fascist in Chief salivates like he did over Ivanka in that TV interview
