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.

MODERATORS
They won’t.
And if you suggest they should, they’ll get defensive and belligerent. They’re clowns.
But if they act, it might justify the fascists doing what they’re already doing. Best move is to do nothing while the fascists are in charge.
That sounds right.
"but the drive is tooooooo long" the drive where? it's the common excuse that it takes too long to travel....where ever. such a piss poor excuse.
I'd have more respect for Americans if they were just honest and straight up said "I don't care" instead of "we're waiting for a leader" or "we waiting to get organized" or "the drive to insert city name is too long" or "I have a job". Just say you don't care and then the rest of the world can finish applying the Nazi sticker to your country.
To drive to the nearest ICE facility it's a 6 hour drive.
I can show up 6 hours after I get notice of shit going down. Or I could spontaneously show up, make a scene, get arrested, get a news article written about me. Who knows how long I'm in custody. I lose my job, my health insurance, my rental. Great, more time to protest?
But I also have a kid to take care of.
We got protests her this weekend. Obviously id rather participate in civil disobedience but that's kind of hard to justify when I'm keeping my kid alive 6 hours away from the nearest place it would be effective.
America doesn't work like Europe quite literally by design. Unions were violently oppressed, but a few prevailed. Which was awesome, then they tied all living requirements to being employed. WW1 hit. The Great Depression hit. WW2 hit. We transitioned into a military industrial complex. In 1972 Nixon axed the gold standard. The loud sucking noise was turned on. For the next 53 years we had less and less and less.
The homeless, the immigrants, the protestors that stand out. The weak, the disabled. Easy targets are being arrested. We can't be there to prevent the easy targets quicker than they can.
When ICE shows up here, we have a much larger number of people than they will to respond immediately.
Know what happens when ICE goes after targets that they are wrong about being easy? They're surrounded. Ridiculed. Heckled. Frightened by numbers into fleeing.
If you have better ideas, shut up, remember OPSEC and implement it locally first.
