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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

she's not 75 but she's old too, I wanna elect a president younger than me, give me a candidate who uses slang I don't understand and it isn't because the meaning of the words have been forgotten like scallywag or "dog faced pony soldier"

if we ever get a young president it would just be some private school psychopath anyway

Can't wait for a Gen Alpha president to make "Skibidi Toilet" references.

They should unironically change the US anthem to the skibidi toilet song

Back when we were kids we used to call each other Poggers but then a boomer named Gootecks tweeted some antivax stuff and for some reason we can't call each other Poggers anymore. Society has become weak.

I'd vote for an actual dinosaur though. As long as it's one of the cool ones, like an ankylosaurus.

In my experience, a lot of Morena's positions are based in contrarianism for the sake of being contrarian, which when fighting against a racist oligarchy who hates anything that's not white, catholic, and wealthy is good, but sometimes leads to... Stuff like this

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO)

Lmao, I spent the last 6 years thinking that AMLO was the name of the party (in Brazil, when news articles talk about a politician they follow their name with the party denomination like Lula (PT)) not that AMLO was The president.
