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

Nearly 100,000 transgender youth live in states that banned access to health care, sports, or school bathrooms in 2023

Oh, you expect Biden to do anything about the red states banning trans existence? Those are STATE ISSUES!

Also, yes, Biden does indeed have the ability to completely bypass Congress on matters of sending colossal amounts of weaponry to states actively wiping out millions of people. That's just how things landed! The system just happens to be this way! Total inability to do good things and not even vague oversight when doing bad things! If you think this is bad, then vote! ...nobody is running against changing those systematic issues except third parties, and the two parties have no reason to change this and many, MANY reasons to keep the current system intact, and we have no real way to exert power over them due to our refusal to even withdraw our votes let alone take major co-ordinated national action, but...

Reminder that Biden has been sending weapon packages to Israel in shipments just under the mandatory congressional review limit, something better known as the crime of structuring for us plebs
