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
The failure of SCOTUS to recognize their complicity in Louisiana's lackadaisical, and fundamentally illegal, judicial oversight is what is so gd shitty about this whole thing. Their belief that the lower state courts would take care of the issues, when in fact the lower courts WERE the fucking issue, is sad at best and destructive at worst.
America has no real justice at its core, and if nothing else that proves it doesn't give a shit about its people. It has become a nation who's more concerned about the wealth and privilege it protects than the actual people who live under its power.
I honestly believe this is a massive part of the guns issue. Why would you ever give up your weapons when you have near-infinite evidence your government hates you, and in fact gleefully works for the guarantors of your destruction? That's just plain sucker shit.
And I'd say all the messed up systems we have that keep people in fear , stress, distrust ETC, have a lot to do with why mass shootings occur. People lose their fucking mind after a while and some resort to shooting up anyone and everyone including themselves after it's all done and said.
We the people really need something besides just voting to make the politicians listen to us. I think we hear each other just fine; but we need a plan now. The politicians aren't gonna do shit for us. So it's time for us the people to get along and do something about our predicament ourselves (obviously through nonviolent means).
"we have each other" they said about a population about as divided as it gets.
we cut all social safety nets to the bone, cut all public mental healthcare, privatized any decent schooling and then made sure there are more guns than people.
blame conservatives. blame republicans. blame capitalists who feel that the world can be fixed by business.
we were doing really well until they removed that 90%+ tax on the wealthy, and then forced everyone to be 'invested' in the scam that is the stock market for our retirements.
scum.of.the.earth.

Rant 🤬 on !!!
Yeah dude, the country built on the backs of slaves that overthrows democratically elected officials in other countries is suddenly turning evil!? No way
SCOTUS too busy hearing and ruling in favor of the strawman cases from the ADF and their ilk.
Amen 🙌
It's all about Money/Power to them.
