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'm not telling anyone anything but to stand back, learn their enemy, and choose their own moment in which to bleed. Anyone calling for others to fight is not going to be bearing your losses, you are. You choose your own moment to fight.
And while you're weighing up your best approach, look at one of the many violent protests we've already had in this country and consider which ones are resounding successes, because they're not. They are all remembered as fails, on both sides. There are very good reasons why agents provocateurs are planted in non-violent protests; they would not be there if violence was not going to help the state.
Meanwhile, the National Guard was ordered out of Portland in 2025 because of non-violence:

You have no right to get others to fight your battles. If you want to hit the streets and fight ICE, no one is stopping you. But it won't change a fucking thing. That's a great way to ensure you get labeled violent thugs and your protest labeled the problem of malcontents.
If you want change that makes a government truly piss itself in fear, go French and have a general strike.
I think you misunderstand. I don't want violent PROTESTS. I want people to get these ghouls in their homes, as should anyone who truly values morality and not just pays lip service to it. But yes we all must choose our own moments of actions.
These people are doing real damage to real peoples lives. Destroying them and preventing that damage is an obvious good. These people will not be reformed. They will not be swayed by moral arguments and logic. They want you to suffer and they want to be the one to cause it.
