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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

these are about three different people

Marko Elez, 25, resigned from DOGE after it was found he had tweeted stuff like "I was racist before it was cool", was then rehired after Musk and Vance declared their support for giving him another chance.

Gavin Kliger, 25, had retweeted posts from Nick Fuentes and Andrew Tate.

Edward "Big Balls" Coristine, 19, was fired from his previous job at a cybersecurity company for leaking company secrets to competitors.

JD Vance is such a pathetic loser, his wife is Indian, his kids are Indian and he cares about giving another chance to "normalize Indian hate" groyper #3.

yeah and he didn't even need to get involved, JD didn't have to say anything about it. The doge guy was like "welp, guess i'm too openly racist to work here, bye" and JD has to chase after him like "no thats what we like about you, please come back." What was this guy's special talent that he was so vital that the vice president needs to beg him not to quit?

Homey, this timeline... Somebody needs to send an adult.

He’s trying to live the boomer dream of hating his wife.

Can't forget hating your kids too!

"Sure they hate me and my family but have you considered I do too?

Eh, Caitlyn Jenner is pro Trump and his entire transphobic party. When you're rich you can mitigate some of the hate other minorities don't have the luxury to avoid.

I'm sure JD Vance's wife isn't going to be in danger with a secret service detail and Musk banning people who target her specifically on Twitter.

It must take some BigBalls to waltz into a cybersecurity job at 19 and then promptly leak company secrets.
