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.
Does anyone else find it strange there are no timestamps? This conversation looks like it was typed up in a random text editor. And the supposed roommate's response make me wonder if this is the first time they saw these texts.
That partial transcript isn't an exhibit, but rather part of a charging document; it's presumably formatted to be consistent with the standards of the court in which it is filed (courts can be very picky about this stuff, requiring specific margins, typefaces, spacing, etc., and sometimes judges have their own personal rules). In addition to this charging document, the prosecution will file exhibits consisting of screenshots or some other type of transcript that is admissible as evidence.
We know the roommate was cooperating, and the police had Robinson's phone, so without timestamps this looks planted.
I will be honest, the way this guy talks in this chat and considering the consequences of his actions: He threw his live away (likely the usian death penalty for him ). 
and fucked up his girlfriend's life too tbh
And every trans person's life
I wonder if they've tried offering him life in prison if he admits to doing it because of woke.
his confession text looks fake as fuck +1
i like how it wraps everything together and uses language typical of 50+ year old mormons that are employed by the CIA
anyway, the feds are incompetent.
This just made me really sad. If this is indeed accurate he really did mess up his trans partner's life for a long time. How do you even begin to pick up the pieces from this when things finally settle? I thought I would feel nothing but joy, but turns out there is a way to make me wish this was undone. If you're gonna do something like this, then burn all your bridges and disappear for a while first. Don't drag a trans person down with you (even if this is what motivates you).
i'm not gonna read a goddamn thing the lyin poo yorkkk kkkrime$$ publishes, can somebody post a summary of the important parts
so i am confused.
was the casing that was the cartridge that killed kirk engraved with "notices bulges" or "notices bulge"
