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:

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.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

April 20, 2026 Press Release Washington, D.C. — Today, Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) introduced the Measures Against Marxism’s Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists (MAMDANI) Act of 2026.

The MAMDANI Act enacts sweeping immigration law changes that would deport, denaturalize, deny U.S. citizenship, or entry to any alien who is a member of a socialist party, a communist party, the Chinese Communist Party, or Islamic fundamentalist party, or advocates for socialism, communism, Marxism, or Islamic fundamentalism.

Additionally, this legislation creates new definitions for each of these terms and repeals existing loopholes, including chain migration and fraudulent claims, in current immigration law that have facilitated the mass importation of Marxists and Islamists.

“Why do we continue to import people who hate us? Not just for the last six years, but for the last 60 years, our immigration system has been cynically used to disadvantage American workers’ competitiveness in favor of mass-importing the third world. This has not just led to higher crime and lower wages, but also the promulgation of hostile ideologies fundamentally opposed to American values.

By targeting the Red-Green Alliance, this legislation deploys new tools to fight back against the Marxist and Islamist advance that has devastated Europe and has now arrived on our doorstep, especially in my home state of Texas,” said Congressman Roy.

"Admission to the United States is a privilege, not a right. We have absolutely no obligation to open our doors to aliens who seek to undermine the Constitution, dismantle our republic, or champion ideologies fundamentally opposed to American liberties. A sovereign nation must prioritize its own survival and the safety of its citizens above all else. IAP is proud to stand with Congressman Roy in this effort,” said Grant Newman, Director of Government Relations, Immigration Accountability Project.

TLDR: This bill would strip anybody who identifies as a leftist or Muslim of their citizenship and and summarily deports them. The full bill is linked in the article.

Today, I will show you how to create a self-defense device. First you take this skateboard and this chainsaw. Then you duct tape the chainsaw to the top of the board so that the chain touches the ground and propels the skateboard. Then, uh, well you just get the chainsaw started and point it at the pigs. Then, uh, you let 'er rip. There you have it.

90% of the work done by US Congress is just brainstorming backronyms for their bills.

[–] ProgAimerGirl@hexbear.net 38 points 3 weeks ago

acronym use is the purview of the truly deranged

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 37 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Right, naming your anti-communist, anti-islamic-fundamentalist bill after a socdem liberal-zionist muslim. May as well call it the SADIQKHAN Act

undermine the Constitution

lol, can't have that! Hurry up Congress and pass my law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This guy and the people that agree with them are irredeemable and incapable of being re-edcuated. What a fucking bunch of utter trite nonsense. Red Green alliance? Lunacy.

This certainly begs the question on where they would deport any US-born communists, lmao.

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 36 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's impossible for anyone born in the US to become a communist. The blessings of white Jesus that only those born in America receive provide permanent protection from the mind-virus of Marxism.

[–] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

It's true, I'm only a lib

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 23 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

with a quick look here https://refugees.org/tcdtracker/ i think any of these countries could be fair game. If we're not being sent to Ecuadorian death camps and not being given a choice of where to get sent, I think I'll hope I get sent to Ghana or Uganda. If the Caribbean Islands are a possibility as well, I wouldn't mind Grenada as well as any english-speaking islands.

Dawg the line of thinking you should be on is "WHETHER" they deport. Do not go to a second location

So much for the free speech right.

“Yeah, I’m going to make it a crime to be a lib to own the libs! Wait, why do people think I’m unhinged?”

[–] Drithvan@hexbear.net 44 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The US has never had free speech, not for leftists at least.

Libs would be in a state of ecstasy if this passed.
