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 URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). 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.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). 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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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.

this fucking asshole was just on connoreatspants talking about trump destroying the country, free speech under attack, blah blah blah...

but also this:

The bill, AB 715, cleared both chambers of the Legislature unanimously in votes

democratic stronghold btw

[–] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 52 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

During a last-minute hearing to debate the bill, the chair of an Assembly committee vented he was being forced to “choose between fighting antisemitism and supporting a bad policy bill that is opposed by every single education advocacy organization.”

Guess which side he chose?

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

maybe that person can make a new genre of movie, 'sign and cry' about the tough choices that legislators have to make when they are actively providing cover for a genocide

Chuds like to call Gruesome Gavin "Hairgel Hitler" for all the wrong reasons, but he really is such an exemplar of slick presentation and faux-progressivism veneer atop a foundation of neoliberalism.

Can't wait for my therapist who said Charles Entertainment Kirk fought for free speech to insist this guy is Jesus 2 for the next 3 years. marx-joker

Really need to find a leftist one or at least one who won't stab my brain with liberalism.

Anyway, free-palestine

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The key to a therapeutic relationship is trust. Without trust it’s a lot less likely to work. There are a lot of therapists out there.

[–] KoboldKomrade@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The difficulty for me is that therapy is draining enough as it is, and the thought of shopping for one sounds even worse. I trust the one I got right now overall. It is very frustrating when they decide to say some uncritical crud.

Last two were similar. Very progressive overall, but randomly frustrating when it came to politics. Very American brained. "Bernie bro" even. At least this one caught that I have ADHD.

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago

Charles Entertainment Kirk

data-laughing

[–] Crikeste@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

I just want to say that I don’t think it’s appropriate for your therapist to be telling you things like that, and I think you should report them for doing so.

Your therapist is supposed to hear you and guide you, not debate you.

Anyways, FREE PALESTINE

I don't know what the fuck these people are thinking when the perception of america having free speech is really the last thing it has going for it. People are just going to see China lapping the U.S. more and more and instead of "well at least WE have FREE SPEECH smuglord" it's gonna be "well they don't have free speech" "yeah well neither do we"

[–] huf@hexbear.net 46 points 2 weeks ago

americans dont have free speech about another country. not even their own.

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

China already has more free speech than the USA today.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

"the perception of"

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 24 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

it will be 'can you imagine how much less free speech would be if we were CHINESE??????? thank god!!'

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah you're right

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Every time Amerikkka makes decisions this stupid and bad for optics, I'm left in complete awe that these idiots won the Cold War. How much of a dog's breakfast of the Supreme Soviet was Gorbachev making, that these idiots won that!?

[–] Biggay@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The later soviets were fucking imbecilic liberals.

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

I know they were. Fucking revisionists. Destroyed the greatest win that socialism ever got. Stalin should have purged the lot.

[–] m532@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Back then, there were still competent imperialists alive

[–] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 1 points 2 weeks ago

Unfortunately true.

Teachers must be “factually accurate” in lessons and adhere to unspecified “standards of professional responsibility,” while avoiding “advocacy, personal opinion, bias or partisanship.”

thousands sinwars to be produced in california schools

[–] Self_Sealing_Stem_Bolt@hexbear.net 43 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Bet anything that if teachers just read quotes of isntreal politicians they'd be fired for being "critical" of isntreal.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 46 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Literally this happened with Charlie Kirk after the ventilating; people posted his videos and everyone got upset with them

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Was the craziest but most unsurprising part. Hell Kimmel got almost fired for just quoting Trump talking about Kirk

[–] Biggay@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah but that craven bent the fucking knee

[–] mickey@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

This reminded me that a few months ago I was talking with a new English teacher getting set up to take on their first classroom and they mentioned having to do all the reading they would be teaching that year. They got to a section on the Holocaust and I had a twinge of knowing it would be presented as an exceptional genocide and an excuse for Zionists to act without consequence.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 45 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

we can turn him left after the election!

As horrible as the Trump higher education crackdown/takeover is, California has been doing that shit to its own universities for years

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

Don't worry folks the Supreme Court will save us
