News
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.

Its not in the news, but we're already doing what you mentioned. What else do we do?
They just want to whine about the US, they have no actual suggestions with merit and keep trying to dismiss any and all evidence that people are actually doing things.
If they were talking about Ukraine, I'd assume they're a Russian bot.
Build a more secular, caring, educated, egalitarian society? Row together with others to move the whole boat.
Not a specious statement. People saying 'what am I supposed to do?' often seem to think they can put republicans out of office and the problem is solved. USA is culturally divided and class stratified, and the non-commercial sectors are under repression.
There is only so much one person can do, and I absolutely do not blame those Americans that actually voted against Trump, and those who are actively protesting.
It's the remaining 90+% that are the problem.
At least the majority seems to be voting Democrat now, but it's far from a sure thing there will be another presidential election.
PS:
I have no idea why you got a downvote?
I disagree that 90% of americans aren't doing anything. I see protests literally every day, so I don't know what you're on about.
Then you don't know what 10% looks like.
Where are you getting your numbers?
43% of statistics are made up on the spot.
Maybe they are referring to the political science truism that only 10% or so of society needs to be mobilized and activated for sociopolitical change to engage.
Highest estimate for no kings was 5 million, which is 1.6%. So accounting for infants and the sick I find that to be a reasonable estimate.
