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.

If you're not willing to sacrifice your freedom so that many more may have it, it's just a performance rebellion. They get credit when they start being behind bars for their convictions. The rest of us aren't getting that luxury. We've already seen that concessions don't get us anything in return. Every inch you give them is another inch they've taken.
Chairforce One really showing up to critique texas state dems. These aren't US senators. This is the minor party in state house where as far as I know they haven't held majority in decades.
The stunt worked about as well as it could. they got media coverage and Newsom displayed a counterplan.
I for sure ain't paying their fees. I doubt some billionaire did either.
Lolol. That's a new one for me. Yoink!
Maybe if you stopped sucking Dem dick so hard we could actually get something done besides a one week delay. Thanks for all your help, it's done so much. Cus you've been out there fighting and raising awareness, not just jerking yourself off in an echo chamber online, right?
I'm not claiming I did anything, which is the correct response when you've done nothing. Not acting like I'm fucking V for Vendetta when I caved at the first sign of resistance.
Find me in 5 years so I can laugh harder at you. We'll see where the Dems are then.
Thank you major general of the chair force for your salient movie to reality comparison. I'll report back in 5 years so you can jack yourself off about how right you were, that's whats important here.
What are you doing?
This is a Tu Quoque argument and is a type of ad hominem attack. It does nothing to counter his argument that the Democrats are useless and tries to redirect the discussion into an attack on him instead.
It's a fallacy.
Not acting like I'm rebelling when I'm not actually doing anything. Wanna try again? Remind me how that vote went again? They're rebellion amounted to... what exactly? Oh yeah, a week delay.
So yeah, you get credit for the things you do. They did next to nothing. They aren't rebellion leaders. That title belongs to someone else, not them.
The math is simple: when presented with obstacles that would hurt them personally, they surrendered. They were all talk until there were consequences and then backed down. That's not any definition of rebellion leader I've ever heard.
Sorry you may have forgotten to include what you are specifically doing to help move the needle. That’s probably the most important bit here to show how you are leading by example
Again, I'm not claiming anything for myself. I'm saying you get a title when you earn it and they haven't.
But go ahead and be an obtuse dickwad. WHaT aRe YoU dOInG?!? Hurr durr
Correct, you’re as useless as you claim others to be.
Only an obtuse dickwad would cry about others while doing absolutely nothing themselves
It's a convenient argument for people who like the status quo, since they don't have to do anything to get everything they want, but can use it as a cudgel against anyone who wants better.
The obtuse dickwad thing to do would be blindly defending public servants for failing to do their constitutionally mandated duty, and acting like a random civilian has the same obligations in a democracy. What are YOU doing about this? It seems like you're making excuses for fascists and running cover for the collaborators.
