Totally normal country where you get censured for...
Not supporting genocide
they didn't censure MTG for blaming wildfires on jEwIsH sPaCe lAsErS, but calling for liberation? that's a paddlin
Wait is there actually a Jewish component to that space lasers causing Maui wildfires shit?
According to Seamus malekafzali it's a pretty old Klan myth that the Rothschilds (and thus all jews) have a secret laser that starts wildfires, but I believe that was in relation to the california fires, rather than the Hawaiian ones.
Was during the ones in california a couple of years back. But likely the same thing if they were talking about space lasers.
Oh, you better believe that's a paddlin.
Wasserman Schultz
That bar was so low already but she sure keeps finding new ways to lower it
I'm surprised how relatively young she is (not even 60 yet) because it feels like she SHOULD be one of these ancient octogenarians still holding on to power but we're probably cursed to like another 20 years of her 
Right it feels like she’s been here fucking forever
The ruling class are all fucking vampires, sustaining themselves off the blood of the youth, the naïve, and the innocent. As long as they have people to feed on they'll live damn near forever.
I wish we still had Donna Brazil
The people long for the saga of Minion Moore to continue
This country really is speedrunning fascism.
doing it since 1776 is pretty slow 
Terrible split tbh. Plenty have done it much much faster
they're treating her worse than they treat QAnon theocratic fascists. irredeemably racist and deeply shameful from congress. just makes me sad honestly
I can't even imagine what she's going through. Every day worrying about whether her family has been massacred, while having to pretend to be collegial with these literal fucking demons.
FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA
they are the party of Genocide joe
What does being censured actually mean. Is it just saying "we don't like you"? Does she get forced off of committees or whatever?
Members of Congress who have been censured are required to give up any committee chairs they hold. Like a reprimand, a censure does not remove a member from their office so they retain their title, stature, and power to vote. There are also no legal consequences that come with a reprimand or censure.
Straight from the horse's mouth
The article doesn't mention it; did she even chair any committees? Everyone in leadership already hated her so I kind of doubt it.
It’s more like a warning to other progressives out there: if you don’t toe the party line, we will do things to you.
The goal is to make the other good intentioned people shut up and self-censor in the face of evil.
This is also why liberalism will inevitably end up in fascism, btw.
Your boos mean nothing; I've seen what makes you cheer!
I don’t see a list anywhere in the comments nor the body of the post, did you forget to post?
I can see it. It's posted as an embedded image, but it should show up. I even viewed it through your instance and it worked.
Hmm. Likely a problem with my PWA then, thanks!

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
