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.

ngl, this doesn't sound like us. Mass reporting and swatting is very much their thing, and we usually recognize the importance of peaceful protest. There was no indication of any threat in the actual tweet that I could see.
The DNC protests were largely above-board, they did their paperwork and were pretty peaceful and honorable. We all knew they were happening.
This is a bit of a No True Scotsman fallacy. It’s REALLY easy to assume the worst of Them and the best of Us, but we’re all human animals. There will be bad and good behavior on both sides.
More bad behavior from the fascists, certainly, but that doesn’t mean there will be no bad behavior from “the K-Hive.”
Yeah it's true. I think it's important that we remind each other to hold ourselves to a higher standard than this.
You can literally follow the links in the article to see an author, Democrat, and Kamala supporter saying they reported her.
Your heart and my best intentions may tell you that doesn’t sound like “us”, but the facts and evidence tell us it does.
Does not = "us"
Nice Reagan reference though.
Anyone can pretend to be anything on the internet. It's very foolish to just believe everyone is what they say they are.
Hence why I lead with author, this isn’t a random. This is a real person who you can google and find their IMDB page along decades of internet presence, even the Twitter account is from 2009, that’s 15 years.
I'm reluctant to believe anything on that platform, knowing how dedicated the trolls can be. But I suppose I'll take your word.
