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

If I'm not mistaken, this is referring to a bill that requires tampons to be stocked at Minnesota public schools free of charge, which is nice,. My wife is a teacher and we buy certain things to keep stocked in her classroom: tampons, deodorant, blah blah.
The kids really use em too. I don't care to buy it, but I'm sure it's much nicer to just have it done through the school.
Holy guacamole that's why? I've seen other tampon memes and couldn't figure it out. That's hilarious they're treating that like it's a cudgel to beat him with. I guess the schools shouldn't supply toilet paper either
Not quite. They are going after him for putting tampons in men’s restrooms. I assume this would be for trans men if it’s even true, which is cool and good ofc but they’re not attacking it as a “government handout”, they’re attacking it as a transphobia thing.
It's certainly primarily for trans men, but it's a good idea for other reasons too. Making tampons widely available helps destigmatize menstruation, and makes it far less likely that anyone who gets a period will be caught without one. It's unequivocally a good thing he did, and it's hilarious that they've settled on it as a primary line of attack.
I feel like it will be primarily used for when the girl's room runs out and staff hasn't restocked yet
