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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Careful, the right wing mods here might see this as “uncivil” ;)
They've already banned me several times for my outspoken opinions. I keep resurrecting somehow. As you can easily see this alt account is pretty new from the last ban. As a Canadian I hope I can at a minimum, piss off every one of those assholes who want to invade our country. Getting banned is a badge of honor.
I'm drunk so this might be an unnecessary comment but I wish you safety comrade. I'm an American who is severely worried about the future of their country and honestly your fear is fair. Be safe and stock up on whatever you can. Don't stop being transgressive, all forms of resistance are valuable. I hope what I see in our future does not come to pass.
I see that future as well but it won't stop me. No fear of that. We have a plan and are prepared early for that circumstance. I'm an old man. I've had a good life but I got some kick left in me. As long as I draw breath I will not stop resisting.
As a side note watch that booze friend. Took me decades to quit and your market is about to be flooded with cheaper booze from us not buying. Literally billions of dollars of booze sitting in wearhouses. It's a rough time. Go easy on yourself.
Fuck yeah it is ;) Keep speaking.
