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.

Isn't that exactly what she did?
Damn, that's an excellent apology. It's obviously worth nothing if the actions don't reflect a genuine desire to change, but it's worth everything if they do.
I'm sick and tired of alienating those who change for the better. I want people to feel like progressives are the good and welcoming people who just want everyone to be equal and the best they can be.
Yeah, I don't have any horse in this race, any more than the average person should, and I haven't put any effort into seeing who's made the choice to have kids with Elon, so this is everything I know about her, but that certainly sounds like a well thought out, heartfelt apology, with no equivocation. People need to be given room to grow if the world is going to get any better, even in a shitty time like this.
This is why I am not a big fan of Leopard’s Eating My Face posts.* Most of the time it’s regular people realizing their mistake. When people realize their mistakes, these are the cracks for progressives to spread a progressive ideals.
*The only time I enjoy Leopards Eating My Face posts are when the subject had a power and chose not do anything.
I see that and Good for her. However my comment was directed to the above commenter making excuses on her behalf using age. Im circumventing a flawed thought process of excusing abuse and bullying should be owed forgiveness over weak arguments such as age without ownership or meaningful apology.
Personally I’m glad she herself showed maturity here and didn't use such excuses.
I think people at any age need to be given room to grow.
And people holding them and they holding themselves accountable: this is growth. We’re saying the same thing here. Not sure where we are missing each other.
