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.

Just a reminder to my American friends that everyone was absolutely positive there was no way Trump would get elected in 2016. You sleptwalked into a near dictatorship because everyone agreed the idea that he could win was a big joke. There's very real possibility that a refusal to believe he can do it again will mean he does do it again. And if he does, I don't think it'll be a near dictatorship you have to live in.
The idea he could win was a big joke. Until it wasn't.
If he somehow wins in 2024, well, I'm not living in that dystopia one way or another.
Bye Felicia!
I’d wish you misery but you already live in Texas.
Fascism is cool as long as it’s your fascist in charge?
So if it was a Democrat doing what Trump did? How would you feel then?
I am honestly terrified by the number of Trump supporters I live around. Essentially everyone around me believes the election was stolen and have been fired up since the last election. Even if Trump loses, I think there will be another Jan 6th, or something along the lines of that.
These people are brainwashed super supporters and a danger to Democracy.
I completely agree but how do we stop him?

Yeah, that's not a fucked system at all
Where? The soup kitchen you're about to eat from once his people crumble this nation?
You're gawdamned right. Best time to start was yesterday.
1: Reform must always be attempted until revolution is the only choice left
2: Yes, and political campaigns for stomachable Dems
3: Just in case...
And, just humor me: when, exactly, is that? Are we waiting for a sign? Did we already miss it? Will we ever decide on which one is THE sign, anyhow?
Isn't that a Blue unicorn, though?
That's ardently hopeful of you
It’s really not. It gets fucked all the time because people expect to coast and not participate with anything more than a tweet. Used to drive me crazy the folks who’d say “by not voting, I’m voting against the system” or some other shit. Jesus… not voting just removes barriers to those crazies like Trump. You gotta be in it to win it.
I hear your point, though the Electoral College is the glaring flaw in that logic, in regards to presidential elections.
To quote his majesty from BG3
"I'd rather die"
Don't die for your country, make them die for their dictator.
I'm not gonna die for my country. Just die.
I say HISS!
