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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Some excerpts:

In total, 37 Democrats, 46 Republicans, and three Independents voted in favor of the bill.

Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) led efforts to remove the anti-trans language from the NDAA by introducing Amendment 3332, which aimed to strike the discriminatory provisions. The amendment garnered support from 24 of her Senate colleagues. However, Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) at some point requested the amendment be withdrawn, opting not to bring it to a vote unless certain of its passage.

Addendum:

Great work transgender NGO, a third of your trans equality champions are restricting transition. Lol.

Trans libs are genuinely so ass

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 55 points 3 days ago

Death to every transphobe.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 35 points 3 days ago

Go ahead, US government, keep giving people more reasons to be frustrated by the healthcare system in this country. Let's see how well this works out for you.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 37 points 3 days ago

Sure, plenty of people will die, but at least the normies will be slightly more comfortable.

Sigh. I hold very little, if any sympathy for the dogs of American empire, even if they're trans, but this is still terrible to see

I'm going to shove this in the face of the trans libs I know

[–] aaro@hexbear.net 44 points 3 days ago (2 children)

this may apply to the dogs of american empire, but it also applies to their kids

[–] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 32 points 3 days ago

sadness-abysmal i fucking hate this country so god damn much

[–] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 3 days ago

Yeah, we always gotta keep in mind. The dogs of the Yankee Reich tend to be so rabid precisely because they are shielded from 90% of its oppression. Statistically speaking, the ones most affected by these types of policies are the ones who never did anything to support the imperialists (including voting for them or defending them).

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The fact that online newspapers & shit don't show a list of names who voted which way is in itself a condemnation of our media sphere.

Hillary Schloten MI-3's campaign priorites page has all kinds of feel goody platitudes about how no one should be denied care.

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

Yes thank you.

However, I meant not exactly in this instance, but more generally. Like I read so many articles about vote counts, but seemingly never name names.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

only-throw DC "advocacy" orgs only cocktail parties. No accountability.

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

HRC is like that too. Made a post on reddit before i got banned about how dangerous they made my life lol.

Thank you friend

The major orgs kind of said Michigan "wasn't in their time line" from what I remember in activist calls with Dana Nessel (who is now our AG) They initially denied help with DeBoer va Snyder for the Same Sex marraige recognition. It was grassroots that forced the issue and funded it up to the point the DC crowd couldn't ignore it.

You might find this case study interesting reading.

DeBoer v. Snyder: A Case Study In Litigation and Social Reform

The GoFundMe page is still up. Obviously not acepting donations but you can read the notes history.

But it was because of this I stopped giving to the HRC and learned how that stuff really operates.

I also want to add this is part of a new Lavender Scare to compliment the 3rd Red Scare we find ourselves in - a Red Scare that was started by thr Democrsts in 2016 with this whole RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA bullcrap.

[–] Red_Renewal_Cosmonaut@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago
