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.

Somehow this feels different, but you're probably right.
Alright I think I was wrong, the guy actually got to talk to Garcia. It was definitely a photo op arranged by Bukele to make the guy look less like a victim but it's way more than I thought he'd accomplish.
Not that it isn’t a good thing for senator to at least fain concern about Garcia, but he’s hardly the only person in that prison held there illegally.
I think this whole thing is working out beautifully for the fascists. The vast majority of the scrutiny towards this mass deportation program is now focused on one isolated case of a citizen being deported "mistakenly" which tacitly implies everything else is fine. It's like going to a school and beating up a bunch of 10 year olds, then you punch a 6 year old and only get scrutinized for the younger one. Regardless, the actual point of this program is to scare the opposition and making it known that the current administration will go to incredible lengths to make its opponents suffer, so get in like and do nothing more than 
Ehh idk i think this guy was just the current most clear cut example so they became a light ingredient rod.
Thus fucking court ruled 9-0 that it was wrong, and it became pretty clear pretty quickly he wasn't even the intended target.
More cases will come out that are more and more egregious but I think they're focusing on this one because it's as clear cut as it gets.
Already there's another story ramping up about an even worse case of a 21 year old who was born here and has a social security card got arrested.
Now none of this matters until libs realize the only way this stops is if community's make de-arresting people the SOP but any social media site other than this one is gonna ban anybody that says that.
I think you're referring to this case.
Not to split fascist and racist hairs here but I don't think this case is worse than being sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador. Yet.
I don't think ing is going to work in 4 years.
And yet they allowed in a republican douchebag to come take pictures of the human zoo.
My bet is Garcia is dead. That's why they claim to be unable to release him and won't let anyone see him/speak to him. The Trump admin claims he's alive, but beyond that we have no proof.
Edit: not dead apparently https://slrpnk.net/post/20973705
What evidence is there to support that?
He literally had an exemption from being deported to el Salvador because of credible threats of gang retaliation against him and now he's in a death camp filled with those gang members.
Jesus, I didn't know about that part. That's terrible. ~~He's definitely dead.~~
He's alive!
And getting a bunch of international attention that he is there and that is the reason he is there

This whole El CIAdoor debacle is turning into a IRL Steamed Hams episode.
