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, 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
Around 80,000 people still showed up to protest at the MN capital today, so I don't think what "officials" say matters.
The officials can get fucked. What an absolutely absurd and cowardly response.
Democrats being democrats
I'm so conflicted on this take. On one hand, it sounds a little accelerationist/tankie. On the other hand, you're not wrong. But they are trying to protect lives by recognizing there is a literal serial murderer on the loose with not only the names and addresses of public officials, but also "no kings" rally flyers.
So it's a fairly simple trolley problem question in the "what if" scenarios going through an actual concerned public official's mind. It's cool people showed up cause they all realized this dude was a coward and will only shoot people who are at an extreme disadvantage, and wouldn't dare to go public with his violence cause there's a chance he might get punched in the face a few dozen times before his homies in blue pull him out.
But you really can't blame this public statement on "Democrats are cowards", even though it is objectively true.
This…
Sorry for getting rough with you, but we need to stop giving this bullshit a pass.
It's time to admit we were wrong. I've done it and so can you.
No disrespect retrieved! Just on that "take nothing but pictures and leave only footprints" type vibe.
Yeah, people misunderstand how citizen protests work when they talk about protest organizers like they're in charge. Maybe they filed some papers with city hall and did some promotion, but there's no such thing as "protest leadership".
Yup protests have no head to kill. So try as they may this will continue until we are sure no nazis are inside our political system.
Good.
The social contract is unraveling.
Important comment, this has been fraying for several years and now it’s unravelling.
