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 just counting the days 'til they declare trans people like me not just unpersons but actively illegal, and hoping the passport I requested actually shows up..
I hope your passport shows up too… but I have a friend of a friend who is post-transition, but had their passport reverted to their birth gender because DoS is apparently doing that now. If that happens to you: I think maybe you have a good case to drive up to the Canadian border and request asylum/refugee status or something like that.
It’s fucking insane that I’m even suggesting that to another American, in America. And it’s even more insane that it’s a reasonable and feasible idea.
As a Canadian, I think Canada should start accepting trans refugees from the USA. I also think we must absolutely not elect the transphobic MAGA wannabe Pierre Poilievre. It's crazy that some Canadians look at what's happening in the USA and want the same here, or think of nothing but wanting to pay less tax even if it means destroying everything that makes Canada good.
I am really sincerely hoping that our resident psychos don’t decide to treat you guys like Russia is treating Ukraine. And… well, if we do: Vive la Résistance; mort aux envahisseurs.
Indeed. If only Americans would stop their Nazis before that becomes our job.
I agree that we’re a fucking embarrassment
An embarrassment, but more importantly a danger to the USA and the rest of the world.
Some of us are trying.
But not enough of us.
Canada does accept US refugees
I never tried changing the gender marker on my documentation because that always seemed like too much risk for so little gain for an enby like me. My government name only gets used at work anyway, and I'm content to let straight people assume I'm one of them so long as I set off every gaydar and transciever in range.
I just hate when the universe justifies my cynicism, it makes me feel like the stereotypical old anarchist.
I just learned transceiver from you and bless you for teaching me.
