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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"

Kind of sounds like a joke at this point.

I suppose Zionists would start using the pre Civil War argument that the First Amendment does not apply to censorship imposed by a state government.

The pigs squeal with joy as they churn in the misery, thick as mud, that they make.

Students' signs are met with riot shields, their slogans with rubber slugs.

For opposing the genocide in Palestine, you are arrested in California. This is Western Order restored.

Love to see my tax money paid to violent thugs to abuse the people exercising their constitutional rights at the other place that receives a lot less of my tax money

Reminder that the Chinese government treated Hong Kong protestors with more compassion and tolerance.

And this was after they murdered someone too, and were actively violent towards the cops. If these protestors in the US had behaved the same way, the whole campus would be running with rivers of student blood.

Yeah they were firebombing the police and lit pro-Chinese protestors (and just people they perceived as being pro-China) on fire.

We need to re-elect our democratic officials to prevent the republicans from doing what is happening now!!!
