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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Some excerpts:

In total, 37 Democrats, 46 Republicans, and three Independents voted in favor of the bill.

Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) led efforts to remove the anti-trans language from the NDAA by introducing Amendment 3332, which aimed to strike the discriminatory provisions. The amendment garnered support from 24 of her Senate colleagues. However, Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) at some point requested the amendment be withdrawn, opting not to bring it to a vote unless certain of its passage.

Addendum:

Great work transgender NGO, a third of your trans equality champions are restricting transition. Lol.

Yeah, we always gotta keep in mind. The dogs of the Yankee Reich tend to be so rabid precisely because they are shielded from 90% of its oppression. Statistically speaking, the ones most affected by these types of policies are the ones who never did anything to support the imperialists (including voting for them or defending them).
