Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Ocasio-Cortez took to Instagram after the Department of Homeland Security suggested they may pursue arrests of three Democratic lawmakers who partook in a protest outside of an ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey. Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Rob Menendez (D-NJ) and LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) all attended the protest.

If they lock up a member of Congress, dems will fold faster than a house of cards.

They have no teeth except when there's a person with mildly center left policies or a middle eastern country that's not giving them unlimited access to their oil

We already had a problem, the democrats could've figured this out when they started arresting students and teachers during the Biden admin. They were too busy navel gazing and tut-tutting to understand the A to B. You're correct, they will absolutely fold, they stand for literally nothing.

Her and Sanders didn't even have the courage or wherewithal to head down to El Salvador to back up Garcia, had to leave it to some no-name centrist Senator

AOCIA showing she only cares to do photo ops and social media stunts, not enough to actually do ANYTHING else

"Oh I know, I'll vote 'present' on this measure that everyone with a soul is against"

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 month ago

"Garcia who??? I have to arm Israel sweety" AyyyyyOC

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She couldnt even wear a dress that says "eat the rich", like she toned it down. If you do social media stunts as your “revolutionary” tactic at least have it a bit more confrontational.

What's funny is that was still too far for the reactionaries. People were flipping the fuck out, both gala attendees and chuds on social media.

If you try to compromise and your opponents still think your milquetoast outfit is leftwing terrorism, then you should have just done the leftwing terrorism.

Nice to know she and the rest of Congress draws the line right before themselves. "Representatives", my ass.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (4 children)

That's actually kind of interesting. Will the Dems call their followers to violence if their own lives are on the line? The capitol riot may have traumatized enough of them

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

They'll flee to Ottawa, form a government in exile, and wonder why they aren't getting NED money

Please, trump could lock the doors to the House of Representatives and start shooting dems one by one and these useless fucking ghouls would be voting for him to shoot other dems before them

Fam, if you've found a door to ~~Narnia~~ the timeline chuds imagine we live in, tag us in

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago

She's right. Congress would have a problem.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago

Just thinking back to how Rashida Talib was treated when she was trying to bring attention to the Palestinian genocide and how none of her peers backed her up.

But now that Trump is president its a good time to stand up for peers since bad things only happen when there's a dang Cheeto in the White House.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago

I remember how badly January 6th scared her out of a legitimate concern that they would kill her. She also became even more complicit with the Dems after that. Chances are she would fold as well.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago

I won't do anything about anyone else, but if you come for me, I might try to stop you.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

glad to hear we don't yet have a problem

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

Yes, you... a member of the Democratic Party... will have a problem when the Republican Party starts locking up members of the Democratic Party. You will be in jail, prison, or disappeared to places unknown.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

I am sure the trump admin is shaking in its boots

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

What are you going to do? Impeach him like you all did before? Hexs comitting genocide same as DaBiden . You had years of brandon and obama-drone to unfuck the PATRIOT ACT which all this shit is a derivative of but just made it worse. Your party made Trump as a STRATEGY.

The majority of Dems in Congress would vote to allow the president to kill other Dems in Congress as long as they weren't one of them. lol. What? Trump could strangle her on live TV and nothing. Nothing at all, would happen. The US is cooked.

What's she going to do? Write a strongly worded letter?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

Awwww what are these politicians gonna do? Fillibuster on a meeting? File a complaint? Yell on social media? Oh wait they are already doing that one.

Call me when they do something actually useful.

"We are going to have a problem" should mean guillotines. The tried and true means of getting rid of tyranny.

We had our chance to give Ilhan Omar a Gundam.

She didn't blow that chance. We did.

Mass deporting people to prisons without trial is an acceptable political disagreement, but god help you if you touch a Dem I guess.

She and rest of the democrats are going to wear more matching coloured clothing and SLAM the white house? or some other nonsense gesture that democrats love to perform?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

She's gonna vote so fucking hard he won't even know what happened.

It will achieve nothing. But he also won't know what happened.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

What because touching the political brahmin class is unconstitutional?
