Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

they didn't censure MTG for blaming wildfires on jEwIsH sPaCe lAsErS, but calling for liberation? that's a paddlin

[–] newmou@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wait is there actually a Jewish component to that space lasers causing Maui wildfires shit?

[–] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

According to Seamus malekafzali it's a pretty old Klan myth that the Rothschilds (and thus all jews) have a secret laser that starts wildfires, but I believe that was in relation to the california fires, rather than the Hawaiian ones.

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

Was during the ones in california a couple of years back. But likely the same thing if they were talking about space lasers.

[–] ikiru@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Oh, you better believe that's a paddlin.

Wasserman Schultz

That bar was so low already but she sure keeps finding new ways to lower it

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 48 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm surprised how relatively young she is (not even 60 yet) because it feels like she SHOULD be one of these ancient octogenarians still holding on to power but we're probably cursed to like another 20 years of her deeper-sadness

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right it feels like she’s been here fucking forever

[–] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

The ruling class are all fucking vampires, sustaining themselves off the blood of the youth, the naïve, and the innocent. As long as they have people to feed on they'll live damn near forever.

I wish we still had Donna Brazil

The people long for the saga of Minion Moore to continue

This country really is speedrunning fascism.

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 49 points 2 years ago

doing it since 1776 is pretty slow nerd

[–] sharkfucker420@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

Terrible split tbh. Plenty have done it much much faster

[–] VHS@hexbear.net 65 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

they're treating her worse than they treat QAnon theocratic fascists. irredeemably racist and deeply shameful from congress. just makes me sad honestly

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 64 points 2 years ago

I can't even imagine what she's going through. Every day worrying about whether her family has been massacred, while having to pretend to be collegial with these literal fucking demons.

FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA

What does being censured actually mean. Is it just saying "we don't like you"? Does she get forced off of committees or whatever?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 47 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Members of Congress who have been censured are required to give up any committee chairs they hold. Like a reprimand, a censure does not remove a member from their office so they retain their title, stature, and power to vote. There are also no legal consequences that come with a reprimand or censure.

Straight from the horse's mouth

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The article doesn't mention it; did she even chair any committees? Everyone in leadership already hated her so I kind of doubt it.

[–] Kaplya@hexbear.net 55 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It’s more like a warning to other progressives out there: if you don’t toe the party line, we will do things to you.

The goal is to make the other good intentioned people shut up and self-censor in the face of evil.

This is also why liberalism will inevitably end up in fascism, btw.

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Your boos mean nothing; I've seen what makes you cheer!

[–] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I don’t see a list anywhere in the comments nor the body of the post, did you forget to post?

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can see it. It's posted as an embedded image, but it should show up. I even viewed it through your instance and it worked.

[–] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Hmm. Likely a problem with my PWA then, thanks!
