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

MODERATORS
good god the self-own. like at least list a thing that the biden admin reversed after taking office jesus christ
Lmao that Obama emoji is so good
Trump began militarizing the border with Operation Gatekeeper in 1994.
They mandated that the government not be able to call them 'aliens' anymore, they're 'migrants' (migrants that we demonize while raising the ICE budget and detain them indefinitely in camps)
Biden pardoned a bunch of people convicted of marijuana possession (after they had been released to just 'clean their records', and they had to do the paperwork; also didn't apply to 'migrants')
He...uhh...'reportedly' thinks Israel killing innocent Palestinians is wrong?
Didn't that "pardon" release literally 0 people from prison?
Yes, he actually pardoned zero people.
Yes, my phrasing on that was odd; the 'pardon' was basically just expunging their records, but it required the people being 'pardoned' to fill out the paperwork for the expungement
Also excluded anyone 'illegally in the US' explicitly
