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 URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). 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.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). 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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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.

Isn't "people going hungry" like the number 1 cause of revolts and revolutions? How could donny fuck things up this badly? (Jk we know that Americans can still take a lot more abuse before they start revolting).

If this were any other country, people would've been out on the streets already. Especially France would've been burning for a whole month by now.

I'm amazed that the soviet union was dismantled by traitors for a level of dysfunction 10 times less than this. And yet somehow, this dammed demon government persists no matter what.

gorby-sad was a special kind of stupid. But hey it did take him 5 years to dismantle the Soviet Union so there's still hope.

France IS burning lmao.

For real though, the reason is prolly just poverty. The fewer you have the more you have to lose. Until you have nothing ofc.

Let's no fetichize france, they can be submissive idiots as much as everyone else

Two judges ordered the USDA to use contingency funds to keep SNAP benefits flowing during the shutdown.

And? Since when does the "law" matter?

the department must use money from a contingency fund of $6 billion to pay for at least a portion of the roughly $8 billion meant to be disbursed this month.

6 billion dollar "contingency fund", when your running expenses are 8 billion per month for a single program? What sort of planning is this?

The shutdown of the government through funding doesn’t do away with SNAP. It just does away with the funding of it.

I do love how the US government is built like a shitty piece of spaghetti code that an intern might shit out on a Friday afternoon.

He added: “I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT. Therefore, I have instructed our lawyers to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible.”

My grandpa in christ, you can just ignore the law and do whatever you want. Ain't nobody stopping you.

Court orders don't matter and laws are just words written on pieces of paper
