It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
I'm probably quitting the DSA over the refusal to discipline electeds especially on the issue of Palestine, but this statement is misleading.
The vote was a voice vote which means the 50 aldermen shouted "yea" or "nay" at the same time and the chair decided the outcome. One aldermen asked to be officially recorded in opposition to the resolution but Chicago DSA's statement claims a second DSA alderman spoke out against the resolution so it's likely he also voted in opposition. Nobody actually knows what anyone voted for unless they were in the room listening to them though, and by that point the room has been cleared by the cops.
Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Defender both said there was only one dissenting vote, which is why I wrote that. I apologize if that isn't accurate, but I don't think it really matters.
~~Nice misinfo though, you had me going for a second, evergreen bit~~ self crit needed
