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.

And what happened when they didn't get what they wanted?

That's right, they mostly moved on to the next shiny distraction, love island or whatever. It's time to revolt, and liberals still think going out with signs once a year is "protest"

Just because you don't see resistance happening on your pretty little television screen doesn't mean there isn't organizing going on in the background. And no, I don't mean protests.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

What do you mean? Y'all still bitching Kamala Harris didn't win, is that your organizing? Are you organizing to elect Gavin Newsom next are should we give Biden another shot?

Describe the organizing you're doing, because I've found nothing but resistance to any organizing from liberals.

There isn’t.

Burden of proof is on you here.

A dozen or so people are in jail in Texas for allegedly vandalizing an ICE facility and firing on responding police.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -1 points 7 months ago

It’s a start

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yea you’re right people shouldn’t organize. They should give up instead.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah that's what I said.

"Organize" doesn't mean you find out there's a planned protest in a designated area away from everyone and surrounded by cops to make sure you're contained. That's performative.

Organize means building power from the ground up, knocking on doors, meeting in living rooms, cooking meals, making childcare plans, and finding the people in your community who are ready to fight and ready to love. It means strategizing together, planning direct actions that disrupt, not entertain power. It means understanding that the terrain of struggle isn't just symbolic; it's material. Streets, workplaces, campuses, and housing complexes become the front lines.

Organizing is about forming bonds that last beyond a single march, about mutual trust and shared risk. It's not just about showing up, it's about staying. It's not a hashtag, it's a commitment. It's not consent to be managed, it's consent to resist.

Don’t you dare question those lazy, servile Americans. They’ll downvote you and call you a keyboard warrior and demand to know WHAT YOU DID in response to their pants-pissing inaction.
