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.

As a straight, white man, I don't sweat it personally. I'll be the last one thrown into a camp.
But the people who are more at risk need to get practical with their planning. Community organizing is a great place to start. And I'm not taking violence off the table if it's in self-defense. But fantasizing online about taking up arms against the christo-fascists while skipping the planning stage and training is just going to get a lot of femboys raped and killed.
If a group of queer folks organized in my home state, that would help the GOP make their lists. If we got violent in self defense, they would kill and jail us. I used to be more of an activist, but it’s fucking impossible to get a job without scrubbing every trace of your transition from the internet.
Then scrub your fucking transition. I've done a decent job of scrambling my online identity so that it appears more like noise than signal. I get junkmail addressed to burner jokenames. And I'm a straight, white male. I just like my privacy.
Nothing is going to be handed to you. Keep a low profile and organize among people you trust. This isn't a fucking game. They want to kill you (probably rape you first), and you need to avoid that.
Do you do any community organizing yourself or do you just lecture queer folks on how to do it on the internet? I know “nothing is going to be handed to” me, I’m a trans person in a state where I don’t legally exist.
Currently, I bankroll and organize a group of ESL teachers to teach English and the basics of the USCIS citizenship test to immigrants. Is that community organizing?
I've done other work around labor and anti-war over the years.
Fetish stuff isn't my bag, but I know a bunch of repressed Republican guys who can't wait to get their big, meaty paws on a few femboys.
What a disgusting hateful piece of shit you are
And yet, I'm encouraging people to organize for self-defense.

Sometimes strangers have your best interests in mind more than you do.
The rape and femboy fixation is fucking weird bro. And trans people aren’t femboys….
