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.

its usually the people on the right that are touting the 2nd admen, and they are okay with the faciscm.
Oh there are plenty of lefty gun-brains, preparing for either the revolution or wanting to protect against a fascist government.
They're all gravely mistaken when they think that gun ownership does anything except increasing statistics for gun deaths and police shootings.
Im going to provide a brilliant revelation for you. It's okay to have contingency plans and to try to mitigate risk. The fascist government is here. The desire to protect yourself from it may manifest itself in many forms depending on where you are from and how you were raised. Your thoughts on your civic duty, your duty to your family and community, and your personal safety may just be worth looking into! Now that the authoritarians are in charge you actually think that preparing for that event was a bad idea? Still? Can we check back in on this sentiment in another year please. lol, lmao even.
And what help is gun ownership now? Sure as shit no people in the streets repelling ICE with force. The state and the right are vastly more heavily armed and armed conflict is exactly what they are looking for.
A firearm is absolutely useless protecting your family and doing your civic duty. It's a placebo that lets people sleep at night instead of organizing and joining widespread strikes and direct action.
