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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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
Lol the first time I contacted my representatives was because Failblog told me to in order to kill the Stop Online Piracy Act around 2009. Glad the tradition's being kept alive.
Isn't this exactly what brunch liberals want us to do? Contact our elected representatives and voice our opinions?
Well contacting elected people isn't necessarily Lib, especially if the contact comes along with a threat. I suppose the main issue is that communist orgs have no ability to grow a mass movement from any sort of extreme hatred towards our rulers.
Do not ban TikTok. I am in your walls.
also, even the non-threatening calls freak politicians out. They are used to 1 of every 10 pissed off people sending an email, and 1 of every 100 pissed off people sending a letter or calling. Something like that. So if you blow up one of their intern's phones for a few days and they are at all threatened in the primary or the general, they are gonna get alarmed.
