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.

I genuinely do not understand how america hasn't decended into civil war already.
Everyday I tell my family I'm unbelievably grateful that we don't live In America (🇨🇦), because I would have used my right to bear arms long ago and gotten myself killed with a total lack of support by my neighbours. I've spent the last two weeks thinking about different ways I could douse these fuckers in gasoline to burn them alive; or ways I could trap my property to inflict maximum damage to invaders.
I don't even live there and I'm absolutely outraged over what America is experiencing/doing to itself.
I just don't understand. How can you watch your friends, family, and neighbours being executed in the streets only to buy a whistle and yell at them a bit. I get that you're afraid; but at this point your desire to survive should overcome that fear... Yes, there's the threat of Marshal law, but it's being imposed on you whether they officially announce it or not. There are federal agents patrolling your streets arresting EVERYONE that's not visibly white AND carrying papers, including 3yo children, and shipping them out of state faster than the courts can issue injunctions (even when moving as fast as possible with emergency hearings).
YOU ARE ALREADY UNDER MARSHAL LAW. You're being kidnapped and summarily executed. This will not end until you fight it off.
I don't expect this to be a popular opinion; but I had to get it off my chest. Perhaps this should have been in the OffMyChest comm... I'm just so fucking angry and have no real outlet for it. There's not much I can do from across the border; and I'm sure as hell not visiting anytime soon.
I've never seen a single ICE agent in my life (despite being in one of the top 3 states in terms of "undocumented" immigrants). So I'd imagine a lot of it is simply an "out-of-sight, out-of-mind" for a lot of people. It may be the case that Alex was the only person armed with a gun at that scene (other than ICE, if you consider those people).
Agreed. I know when things escalate, I'm certainly in the group who've they've been building lists for as someone they consider an undesirable. I consider trying to flee, but I think partly there's still a side of me that wants to believe it won't get to that point so I can just get through living day to day.
Civil war is coming. That's Trump's goal. The administration's hate speech is constant and increasingly more aggressive. Their actions are increasingly more violent, and the law has been tossed away.
Things are going to get much uglier quickly. The price of gold is sky rocketing because investors don't trust the dollar anymore. It's a scary reality.
Don’t vote for facists because I’ve read that Canada and Europe has a facist problem too
i think the difference is that us statesians who agree with you have had a bit longer to consider and are making slower, more cautious moves
