Reminder that Joe Biden is allowing fascists to eat the country alive by refusing to challenge SCOTUS in any way.

but he said he wants reform in that speech 🍦😎

And to be clear, refusing to stop this is no different from doing it personally. The overturn of Roe was a Biden administration policy.

Yaknow I was expecting the push to overturn Obergefell to happen but the Kim Davis return I was not expecting.

The simulation is running out of plot ideas, and it's just rehashing and remaking the same episodes over and over again.

Bad sitcom, 1/10 stars. Would not recommend.

I hope she makes the grifting circuit on some fine American Made Boeing aircrafts.

Are we allowed to call for people's death here?

Edit: Death to Kim Davis

here i'll start: i hope someone skins this woman alive and rolls her in salt

Obergefell was codified (essentially) a year and a half ago

Now this doesn't stop SCOTUS from attempting fuckery, but the fact that the law passed with 61 votes in third reich of a senate the US has... says all one should need to know about how congress and the president should react if SCOTUS even tried. But of course, they should've already ejected 6 members from that court years ago or just all agreed that SCOTUS doesn't exist for what it's currently doing and them saying "nuh, uh! We do!" actually means nothing except the meaning congress continues to allow.

Alternatively, SCOTUS did make it fully legal for a president to say "this is an official act" then drop a 2000lb bomb on the supreme court 🤷‍♂️ not me saying that, they passed the ruling.

Huh, seems like you'd want to wait until after the election (regardless of who wins) to do this, but maybe I'm overestimating how much this would energize liberals.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

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:

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.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
