I listened to the Deprogram episode with Lady Izdihar last night (she's a muslim who specializes in USSR history) and she talked a little about her history as a worker for a Democratic candidate. Apparently the team she was with wanted to celebrate winning a lawsuit against an anti-Muslim Trump policy by... going to a bar.

Maybe it's because it's late and I'm tired, but I don't see why that would be noteworthy.

Intentional consumption of alcohol is haram, presumably they hadn't considered that by going to a bar to celebrate they'd effectively barred any Muslim colleagues from joining them.

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
