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.

There need to be crowds of hundreds people with gas cans who go to these chuds houses and burn them the fuck down. Remove them from our communities. Excise the threat.
Whatever happens, it won't be that.
You are not on my team if you think the solution is to attack other working class people. There are certainly ones that need to be brought to justice (see: Jan 6ers), but this slide into fascism has been financed and orchestrated by right-wing elites who have the billions of dollars to create effective propaganda.
MAGA voters are primarily driven by ignorance and intentionally misled via propaganda. This doesn't clear them of all responsibility, I want to be clear.
However, the massive wave of anonymous billionaire funded propaganda following the Citizens United decision is the thing that has moved public opinion and that propaganda wasn't created by ignorant people who were misled. It was created by very educated people who knew exactly what they were doing (watch The Great Hack documentary about Cambridge Analytica) and those people were funded by the same anonymous billionaires.
It isn't the local racist that is at fault for orchestrated campaign of propaganda which has twisted public opinion into electing corrupt criminals. It's the people who have billions of dollars and funded a tsunami of lies in order to buy access to the power of the Presidency.
Take your torches and pitchforks in that direction.
I'm not saying this should be the response to everyone who voted for him. But for anyone willing to kidnap and torture people for money, it's open season.
