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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

MODERATORS
CA, WA, and IL each have very strong and active secessionist sentiments in the more inland parts of the state. Technically and notoriously, OR does too, but the population east of the Cascades is maybe 1/8 of the state's total population- in other terms, substantially less than the population of Wyoming.
Most of VA has a massive resentment towards the "[people] north of Richmond", and that feeling is very much mutual. PA has large cultural, economic, and geographic barriers between east and west, and while I don't know of people that actively want it to split, in case of national restructuring I have a hard time seeing the state retain its present boundaries.
There are also states like FL, TX, LA, and NY that have vocally diverse sub-state identities, but I don't see those being out of alignment enough to shake up state boundaries. Not very easily, at least.
