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.

Hahaha Americans don't care about children and civilians. They only care about things that affect them directly like gas prices. At best they'll complain about the other stuff on social media and have 3 single-day protests in a year and make excuses about why they can't do more.
"But, but, the country is huge. It's massive, and huge. They can't be expected to drive across thousand of miles to protest. Or expected to go to their local town and protest!!"
"They've got busy lives. They can't just up and go to a protest"
"It's very difficult to get millions of people to all turn up on the same day"
"Also just wait until the midterms, it's gonna be a bloodbath. Once November is over things will change, so there's no point in protesting now."
(I put them all in quotes because those are the main excuses -not reasons, excuses- I used to get when I asked about when the next protest is going to happen.
The "it's very difficult" excuse is my favourite, whenever I point out that millions of people protested before the age of instant communication they get very snarky)
"I'm tired. I'm struggling to survive"
They're gonna be struggling more when they're dragged off to the concentration camps.
Unfortunately it seems Americans will only get the motivation to protest after it's too late.
Discourage critical thought and destroy education systems for 50 years specifically to decrease response in effective manner and encourage reactive over proactive response
Not shocking it was effective.
Then there was January 6th 2021.
They COULD if they only WANTED.
