news
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. 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 sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

"Unable to identify" is quite a bit different from "does not match." Think fingerprints: "we can't make out what was recovered from the scene" is different from "we can make out what was recovered, and it isn't the suspect's fingerprint."
There may also be different levels of certainly in these types of analyses, and this is just arguing that less than 100% certain means "unable to identify."
Damn, she really does just want to maximize her TV time.
She wants to spectate her murdered husbands alleged killers trial to capture an audience.
Is she selling a book yet? Or crosses, or healing crystals? What's the grift.
Erika Kirk's husband's death has been the best thing happening in her life. If I was the police I'd certainly investigate the possibility of her paying a hitman lol
i need a cop show about a guy who's a big candace owens fan and keeps looking into the kirk assassination because he thinks it was
and instead he uncovers that it was erika
That would be a great show honestly.
This Veronica Mars reboot is gonna be sick
She started promoting a book immediately, and it was about honoring the sabbath.
Charlie walked so Erika could run
They met in Israel. She claimed to be a virgin but was a swimsuit model for Trump and his associates. 100% she was a Mossad honeypot. That's why she's acting so weird. Anything to draw attention away from the REAL crime. Follow the laser pointer, children.
Why are you making stuff up in this thread? Elsewhere you say the bullet "decapitated" Kirk, but we all saw the video. Now you're claiming they met in Israel.

Such a Bob's wannabe. Probably across from John Pesto's too.
Charlie Kirk ~~does~~ did look like a Bob's Burgers character tbh
You have to meet a partner before making a date.
You didn't actually contradict me there. Whatever, I only saw blurred frame and that was enough. I saw enough of that on Liveleak to last me a lifetime.
Do you have a source saying they met in Israel?
I was curious about a source and found this. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOk8BQhEZiU/?l=1
It wasn't a bullet, it was a bit of shrapnel from an exploding under-the-shirt microphone. It was supposed to blow out Charlie's shoulder but it decapitated him instead. I saw enough people get shot on old Liveleak to know that bullets do NOT do that. 100% Mossaad assassinated him. they always have an unsympathetic (to Americans) patsy ready to go. With JFK it was the unstable Oswald, who the KGB rejected as a terrible shot and a weirdo. They got a steady stream of those walking in, some CIA assets.
Bullets absolutely do that, but canonically we all know that kirk's neck did it all on its own. Life is beautiful.
Decapitated means seperating the head entirely from the neck
The wound was not that
It was a hole and blood went bllublublllubggg as mr. Small faced charlie thought hie last few transphobic slure as he faded into darkness, and we let the archdemons take him
