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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Step 1: Declare the opioid epidemic as a reason to turn up the fascism dial on the border and immigration.

Step 2: Remove things that actually keep track of the opioid epidemic.

Step 3: Point to the decreased reporting on the opioid epidemic as evidence that the fascism is working.

Step 4: Revel at how you made the world worse while people continue to die of despair or get thrown into blacksite styled forever prison for being brown or inconvenient.

Step 5: Hopefully get dragged out of your saddam-hussein and thrown into the barbara-pit (this last one is for the rest of us to take care of)

They're really making sure the government is only doing violence.

Well, they'll either subjugate everyone by killing them or.....

Fraud, waste, abuse is anything that helps to protect citizens. Got it.
