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.

Literally this entire comment is pants on head backwards.
You can Google anything I mentioned if you want a source (if you actually care to learn what you're supporting). Presidential campaigns are highly publicized. Where's your source demonstrating that Harris would have treated them any better since you want to be a stickler? Let's see some concrete examples of action from her not just more empty words.
Why exclude everyone but long-term residents from the number of deportees? That sure seems like cherry-picked data. Do you feel that every deportee apart from that specific group is unworthy of concern? Can you explain why Biden didn't give them a path to citizenship so that they wouldn't forever be stuck in limbo and at the mercy of the political winds? Obama? Clinton? How about congressional Democrats in any of the dozens of congressional sessions during that time? Can you explain why these people have been treated as little more than a political football similar to abortion rights, the poor, wealth inequality, gun violence, and so much more? Why zero actual solutions have been implemented at any point in time? Why none of this is ever important outside of election season and quickly brushed to the side once they've secured victory?
You mean "doing nothing" like repeating the same failed action over and over, while telling yourself you're doing something good despite literally everything pointing to the contrary? You're not "reducing harm," you're prolonging torture.
Tell those long-term resident deportees that they shouldn't be fearful because you've reduced harm. Tell those Palestinian children getting blown to pieces daily for the last two years that you've reduced their harm. Tell those parents struggling between buying Christmas presents and keeping food on the table that their harm has been reduced.
Dont worry, if they dont respond positively to you, you can always fall back on calling them self-righteous and explaining to them why it's their fault that we're still continuing down the same exact path we've been on for decades because they didn't vote hard enough for the very same people that have been leading us this whole time. Explain how you're nudging these leaders in the right direction by giving them your unwavering support every election despite them producing zero results every single time. Explain how you call these leaders 'evil' "but it's totally cool and they deserve your support because they're lesser evil."
Once you're done with that, you can then explain the end-game for the master plan. That point where you've supported the lesser evil so much that it turns good, the greater evil vanishes, and all our problems wither away. Maybe you can share that scenario with the rest of us while you're at it.
