    Is this true? Where can we verify that? Is there a source?

    Edit: thank you for your answers

      Here you can see the name the amendment and here you can look up how everyone voted on it, just look for Ocasio-Cortez. It’s really not surprising with her track record, however.

      Just for future reference as well

      Drop site is generally one of those “you can probably just believe them” sites. Similar to Ken Klippenstein on domestic US “security” state side of things. That doesn’t mean don’t verify when you can. Just that they don’t generally post bullshit especially regarding Israel and MENA politics.

        An image claiming to be from them is not to be trusted at face value, however.

          Asking for a source is a perfectly valid thing to do. I dont think its worth mocking, even in the worst of faith (which the comment was not)

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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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