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.

We have every right to be pissed off. I followed every rule you're supposed to follow. And I'm still worried about retiring in the future. The system is fucking stupid. At my job, every system I implement or touch can be changed. Change is a part of life. But for some fucking reason, this country can't change shit. We just sit in it as everything gets worse while everyone who is struggling continues to struggle even more. The rich get richer. America blows.
Democrats make things better. Vote more democrats in, more things get more better.
For example, under Biden, the wealth gap between the poorest and the richest is now closing for the first time in almost 100 years. Yes, that's cold comfort to the middle class, but it shouldn't be. It's the start of a trend and we need to see it through.
As long as you're not a child in Palestine
It's like r/onejoke but for agent provacateurs
Or like when Lois just says "9/11" over and over again and gets elected
Fuck me for caring, right? Nothing to see here. Move along.
Inb4 Hurr durr if you don't like it leave
If you don't like it, vote.
I've voted in every local and national election as soon as I turned 18. Protested in George Floyd protests. I'm 30 now. Shit takes way too long.
Protesting is for you to feel good. Unless you're protesting for civil rights and being arrested for breaking an unjust law.
If you want to influence the process, you should volunteer for a candidate's campaign and forget protests. Sorry, but it's the truth.
While I generally agree with you, protesting has a place. Protesting alone is useless, but protests in concert with working for concrete policy changes is a force multiplier.
I live in a formerly purple county, one of the wealthiest in the nation, that the Democrats have entirely abandoned despite being able to win local elections.
The only reason I have any choice at all most of the time is that I know I can choose to leave my votes for local offices blank.
What have you done about that?
Assassinated Trump. He's actually getting Weekend at Bernie's'd rn, but shush, my militia is going to expose it in October
