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 in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . 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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

Why would the US government wants to persecute the most renowned fedposters on Lemmy?

We are liberals after all

Actually, DSA has recently been in crisis mode over fox news contacting them for comment over members joking about Kirk's death

Babe wake up, new red scare just dropped

[–] MizuTama@hexbear.net 65 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We get final warnings, red scares, and so many other throwbacks. This generation really has no originality

We’re trapped in the boomer fever dream still

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 52 points 1 day ago

It started in 2014 with the Maidan coup, and escelated in 2015 with the endless RUSSIA RUSSUA RUSSIA crap.

FAIR.org with a takedown of the original NYT article about Singham from two years ago

Rubio was mad about it:

So it should come as no surprise that the piece has led to a call for a federal investigation into those Singham-funded nonprofits. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) sent a letter to the Justice Department citing the Times article and arguing that the groups, including the antiwar organization Code Pink and the socialist think tank Tricontinental, “have been receiving direction from the CCP [Chinese Communist Party].” Rubio concluded, “The CCP is our greatest adversary, and we cannot allow it to abuse our open system to promote its malign influence any longer.”

Sigh:

If you think China is evil and Communists are the devil—as you might, if you read US corporate news media (FAIR.org, 5/15/20, 4/8/21)—this sounds like important reporting on a dangerous man. The trouble is, there’s nothing illegal about any of this. All the Times succeeds in proving in this article is that Singham puts considerable money, amassed by selling a software company, toward causes that promote positive views of China and are critical of hawkish anti-China foreign policy, which is his right as an US citizen. If you were to replace “China” in this tale with “Ukraine,” it’s hard to imagine the Times assigning a single reporter to the story, let alone putting it on the front page.

Highest vote they've ever gotten last presidential election, 168k. Not bad considering they weren't on the ballot in 11 states

Same congress person meeting with CIA on the same day.

Same congress person on Fox News discussing the documents filed.

They really made the CIA building look /that/ comically evil, huh?

'Fun' fact: NYT red scare bs reporting two years ago about the same person resulted in the Indian Government using equivalent laws (and some worse ones) against a left-wing news org.

This is as good a place to ask as any but does PSL have a plan for what they're going to do when they're explicitly illegal and have to go underground? It's 100% going to happen.

I guess I just see the protests and work from the outside, and wonder if there's anything more strategic happening on the inside. I'm not asking for information about anything currently illegal, or asking what their plans are, but just like, have they planned for what's coming?

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 33 points 1 day ago (9 children)

I'm know they do but it is a strictly internal discussion.
