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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

no bed is one thing. if there's air conditioning, might as well be the Hyatt.

“This is what happens when the president and (Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth) demand the National Guard state assets deploy immediately with no plan in place … (and) no federal funding available for food, water, fuel and lodging,”

but no food and not enough shitters is something else entirely. they are in a city so one imagines there is a source they can access with a continual supply of water. if i'm overestimating that, the show's over.

By Monday afternoon, additional National Guard troops were expected to reach Los Angeles, upping the total from around 300 late Saturday to more than 2,100.

“Currently, there is no plan for where everyone is sleeping tonight,” the source said, adding that there was an urgent need to find more portable bathrooms and dumpsters for garbage.

nobody is following orders after ~7 days without food, except the orders of God, which they are starting to pick up via mind-radio in their transcendence beyond the plane of material concerns.

i'm curious about how things go if we get more cockups that make it clearer this pile of incompetent snivelers lacks the minimum required competence to do the basic civil unrest playbook of letting the local cops run amok while steering the media narrative. like, do you give the order for your unit to smoke a bunch of people because some alcoholic pundit told you to via text? or do you wonder if maybe they won't be able to hold up their end... leaving you open to retaliation/justice in the future?

Our timeline is awful but there's no bottom in hell.

Yikes.

I thought the military are portable dumpsters though?
