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 are trying to cause riots... because they want to inact martial law... this is the whole plan... best thing to do is keep being peaceful because they don't understand why people aren't being violent, because thats exactly what they would be doing...
Matter of fact its what they did on Jan 6...
This is my exact read on the matter. We can't be the only ones to see it this way. What surprises me is that more analysts and pundits aren't talking about the economic violence from this angle. And when the masses finally reach their threshold, the Conservatives will do their "Whaaaat? So much for the tolerant Left."
"it's very important that every one quietly starves to death while being beaten by police, or else the government will starve the rest of us and beat them up as well!"
Being quiet, is not the same as protesting... rioting isn't going to make things better...
Protesting once every three months is going to do anything. And before you spout the 3.4% read what the people said. It is not a rule just an observation and it is becoming less relevant.
This is a typical abusee mindset.
"I know they're abusive but if I don't do anything to anger them they'll leave me alone"
They won't. The problem is them, not you.
Peaceful protest is what is meant, instead of violent protest. Peaceful doesn't mean doing nothing.
Is it though? So you think that people should start rioting so they will enact martial law...
Vs doing nothing and getting martial law anyway.
Anyone who downvoting is ignoring the fact they are sending the national guard into cities already and trump told troops he would be sending them too "if necessary".
Exactly.

Yes being peaceful well fight the "evil" why didn't we think of that during the world wars.
