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.

the message is clear: the party line on funding genocide is nonnegotiable.
He should say F it and run as an independent.
Or fight dirty and tell his supporters to stay home in November. Force AIPAC to buy both elections.
Pretty sure Trump is AIPAC's choice. Or they'll donate to both campaigns.
Perhaps he should.
It would most likely split the democratic vote and lead to a republican victory.
But it will send a message to Democrats that they must take progressives seriously if they want progressive votes.
Sending that same message in the presidential election would be a too high price to pay, but one House seat isn't that bad.
For who? All the Palestinian children murdered by Biden's weapon shipments?
Yes, for those, too.
Also the kids in Lebanon.
The Zionists will be voting for Trump this year. And Trump will probably support expanding the war into Lebanon with American money.
He already said he wants Israel to "finish the job" in Gaza.
Biden's administration has literally said they will provide material support to Israel if they invade
And yet Biden is the one actually carrying it out, also will the libs back Trump on Gaza like they back Biden right now? Answer is No they won't, which alone shoots Trump sky-high in the harm reduction graph compared to the uncritical support Biden currently enjoys
And if Trump loses the invasion of lebanon still happens with the USA fully supporting Israel
You need to forget this fake belief that Biden is a rational zionist that is against the genocide in gaza and all the other Israeli war crimes.
He couldnt care less if Netanyahu kill half of gaza, he is to the right of Ronald Reagan in his support of israel's genocidal policies
Good thing I'm not voting for anyone funding Israel then
Bowman is a liberal that runs his campaigns and office like a liberal. He will be cowed.
Let's be clear, if Biden wins then GENOCIDE is normalized amongst liberals
At that point this country is permanently cooked, there is no return from that, in no time at all another one will be normalized by the libs and then another
How are far down the queue are you? Or maybe you're white and couldn't care less? So do you want confident bipartisan and genocide-minded libs in charge or a dipshit who'll immediately lose support from half the goverment, half the rich and half the population?
