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 [email protected]

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

maybe-later-kiddo: Hopefully the anti-bias course will teach him how hurtful and insensitive his words have been. Saying that Palestinian children should be murdered is ageist and exclusionary against Palestinian adults.

maybe-later-honey Alvin Bragg became a professor at the New York Law School, where he was co-director of the Racial Justice Project. So he knows how to properly handle situations like these. Be pragmatic. Trust the process.

Another illustration that the law protects but does not bind the ruling class

We investigated ourselves and there's no one at fault here, just a silly misunderstanding obama-medal

This is what i think about when people bring up the discrepancy in the amounts of antisemitic islamophobic crimes and antisemitic ones. Obviously theyre both happening, but the bar for state intervention is much lower for one than the other apparently.

Bit idea, the West Wing but every character is the more realistic version of who they would be, with Stuart Seldowitz's bloodthirsty politics

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It’s unfortunate that this guy isn’t important or rich enough to have 24/7 security with him

Same justice as everyone prominently associated with epstein got (except ghislaine)
