It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Interviewer: Do you regret using the word 'illegal' to describe immigrants last night, sir?

Biden: Well... not- probably- I don't regret- technically they're not supposed to be here.

From his State of the Union speech last night, he said: "Laken Riley was an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal".

it's such a weird discussion to even pretend to have. like, the legal reality that people who cross into the country or stay in the country without approval from the state are considered criminals is not something that anyone in power disputes or disagrees with. the whole argument is whether it's okay to say that out loud or we have to pretend that ICE is a necessary institution and imprisoning asylum seekers is for their own good.
