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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Sending a million large adult sons to stand in the hot sun and sweat

I guess it's an improvement if it's them standing around in Texas instead of Iraq.

Can we not make jokes about working-class soldiers being assigned with conducting war crimes in some unliveable desert hellhole populated entirely by ultra-religious maniacs, enforcing the brutal will of the imperialist overlords?

But enough about Texas.

Friendly reminder that most people illegally in the US overstayed a valid legally obtained visa and that planes exist.

there's a real actual big wet line for a large portion of the US-MX border, isnt there?

They watch news that hyper focuses on a few large corridors. Then think that the whole boarder looks like that because there's no critical thought in America

Someone should invade Alaska while this is happening. Idc who, Russia I guess.

To establish a defense buffer like its ally is currently doing in the Middle East? It's a strategy the US seems to condone, so they should be fine with this done to them.

Mexico should flex by requesting America sell them anti-infantry weapons.

This is like that time from a few months ago where American troops kept accidentally shooting themselves and each other while trying to guard the border. Even funnier was how they were complaining about the lack of food or places to sleep.
