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.

So, some single mother in the Midwest is now going to do something about Gaza now? That's what we needed? Optics? Fuck. We should put up some billboards along the interstate next, that'll bring all this kids back from the dead
You all are missing then ENTIRE FUCKING POINT of a protest. It isn't to block traffic, it's to force action to be taken where none is, and no one capable of taking that action gives two squirts of chipotle if some people stood on a bridge yesterday. Fuck with the establishment, make some cunt in his comfortable office sweat.
If you knew anything about the SF Bay area, you would understand who this protest is targeting. Those people absolutely have power to influence change.
I actually wrote a very long reply to this, but then I checked your comment history, and I thought I'd be more supportive.
Look, one day, everything is going to change. Maybe not all in one day but it'll be quick. Something will happen, and you'll have to re-evaluate the way you look at the world. When that happens, take three deep breaths. Hold them. Eventually you'll pass out, and you'll be doing everyone around you a favor by not talking for however long you are unconscious for. Hopefully you'll drop your phone and it'll break, and you can take a break from social media, too.
maybe someday you'll learn that genocide is wrong and protesting it is always morally good!!
Ahh yes, I believe the old saying goes something like, "Always take the moral high ground, no matter how many people you have to step on to get there."
Pretty much yes? If you were in Nazi Germany you'd have to step on a lot of complacent liberals to stay morally conscious. Same thing going on here, with you.
"this guy disagreed with me, better liken him to a nazi"
The comparison is apt due to the ongoing genocide. He is the one saying that a stance against genocide is some sort of unwanted moral high ground. Not sure how being committed to morality is a bad thing.
Wow! You should have just not replied at all! This is worthless condescending garbage!
Do you know where the Golden Gate bridge is?
I've been looking into it, and as far as I can tell, it's about as far away from Gaza as it can be, both geographically and sociologically.
Oh now they have to go protest in front of the Army committing a genocide? That's a hot take.
Don't tell them about Tiananmen Square...
