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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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

Yeah America's gotta test nukes because otherwise Russia and China would use nukes on unarmed civilians like they did in the past...wait what, that was Amerikkka?
The only country to nuke another is America (unless you count France testing nukes in the middle of the desert in occupied Algeria, which is a different category of thing. not good, but it's not on a city.)
There were also nuke tests on first nations land in Australia where the people were moved and told they'd get new stuff(they didn't)
The song Beds Are Burning is about it
There were also communities that weren't told about it. I remember about ten years back now there was an ACMI exhibit where an elder retold the story of seeing a mushroom cloud on the horizon. They recreated the moment in VR.

Damn I didn't actually know that. Not surprising unfortunately.
Thanks for the link
IIRC the Manhattan Project was tested on Native American land by forcing the people off elsewhere. They weren't compensated, of course, and most ended up on reservations. Or worse than the ones they were already on.
