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 you want an abortion you can still get one in America, none of the laws are changing here" [not even true here, we have pre-roe abortion ban that got struck down by roe]

"well the justices can still change their votes, it's just a draft. Altio wrote so much crazy stuff that one of them must disagree."

"I'm surprised the federal government would give away so much of their power to the states with this"

"People in Mississippi can still drive to Illinois for an abortion." "or Florida I think" (lol)

“well you can still travel between states, it’s not like we love in a military dictatorship”

Yeah, if we lived in one of those we'd have ballooning military spend at the expense of everything else, even during times of peace. And defense contractors would be getting paid money hand over fist to make and deliver products that are defective. And the police would be becoming excessively militarized themselves, such as being equipped with military equipment. And the country would be going heavily right wing.

Gee, I wonder what else the provisions of all that recent anti-trans legislation that criminalized leaving the state for getting medical treatment could also apply to.

An injury to one of us is an injury to all of us and you can never seperate liberation of trans women from liberation of cis women and vice versa, exhibit no. 9767437
