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.

Maybe citizens should start physically intervening when non-uniformed people are trying to cuff random folks.
You mean like Renee and Alex?
It's happening every day, we just aren't hearing about it.
I live here and even I have to dig to find the reports and videos.
Yeah like Alex Pretti?
Many people have intervened many times. Minneapolis and Charlotte come to mind as city whose entire MO for weeks was intervening.
In many situations it seems like enough to film them and they back off, like here. For Joan Sebastian, shot and killed by ICE last Monday in Maine, he was driving and there weren't many people around to intervene at 7am. Bystanders did film part of the incident after Joan had already been shot, and it's part of the evidence against the crazy fuck that shot him. I don't know how anybody could have stepped in based on what I saw.
I imagine myself witnessing situations like these so that I am ready.
America, the spineless society, all talk with very little action from it’s people.
I’m surprised someone hasn’t snapped yet and held an ICE agent hostage, I’m sure ICE agents would love their job even more when people start pulling guns on them more frequently and out of nowhere.
I guess not as many people are suicidal as you think.
Almost like the human body will do everything in its power to stay alive.
Things like bending over when the fascists take over their country.
Yes, even avoiding to get shot.
Its matter of time until they try to grab the wrong person, and someone starts shooting, and it turns into a street battle. It's inevitable, and "PeeWee Himmler" would love nothing more.
You coward.
You sit behind your keyboard and type this bullshit out - just like Donald Trump when he sits on his toilet every night to post "truths" on his shitty social media platform.
Come over here and make a difference if you're so goddamn brave.
Most people who stand up to these people don't even make the fucking news. And the brave ones that do don't even get justice. Go Google Renee and Alex and educate yourself on our actual challenges you ignoranus.
We're fighting, and you're ignoring us. You don't give a fuck. It's no skin off your back, eh? Just sit back and call us names. Just like the GOP. Donald Trump applauds your efforts here, he appreciates you and hopes this catches on.
Coward? You Americans got your 2nd amendment, sort your country out, it’s not the job of a foreigner to figure out how your country should operate.
Every day your country floods the news market with absurd headlines.
You’re telling me Renée Good or Alex Pretti didn’t make the news? I remember outrage about their passings, what did your country do in response?
Take some responsibility for your nations actions and be the change you want to see.
Your humility is truly inspiring. I can only imagine the amount of good you put out into the world (and that I could only hope to achieve). Especially with the eloquent way in which you speak; fuck... shivers and goosebumps
How easy it is to forget about class, and instead just preach and judge. Cause ya know, division is the only way to peace
Everyone appreciates you're anger btw, we definitely don't have enough of it
