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.

I'm happy to be everyone's queer friend who will not under literally any circumstance vote for Newsome, so feel free to name drop me when libs say that
We couldnt vote for him anyway as were not a US citizen, but were also happy to be everyones trans woman friend who will never vote for him
Same here. Fuck that guy and I actually live in Cali. I've even met him once and he is every bit as soulless in person.
“WhAt WoUlD tHe RePuBlIcAnS tHiN-“
They will vote Republican anyway and call you far-left! Just go and be a republican since you clearly want to be one!
Just one fucking state I want to be a haven for social pariahs like me, and then flip off the rest of the country for simply being too stupid to understand it’s wrong to kill people just because they’re different.
If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time
-Harry Truman (a person we dont like agreeing w lmao but who was unfortunately completely correct here)
Can't wait for shitlibs to gaslight us why this is actually good for us and that we should be thankful to have such a caring future president like Gavin 
“You tankies just don’t understand tactics! It’s strategic to make these appeals to moderate conservatives, who will definitely not see this move as shifty, opportunistic, or triangulated.”
Second lib joins the conversation: "So true! Leftists just can't stop doing purity tests. Why would you let a tiny fraction of the population stand in the way of voting for someone you agree with 99%? You need to be pragmatic. Vote Gavin into office first and then you can try to push him more to the left.
Btw, I'm as leftist as they come, but I completely agree with Trump on the trans issue, so I will fight tooth and nail to prevent you from distracting Gavin's good work with your identity politics."
An example of how Blue MAGA scumfuckers on 
are trying to defend this: https://old.reddit.com/r/democrats/comments/1wnmx7f/gavin_newsom_vetoes_bill_that_would_have/
Nuance! He already protects trans people! The bill was worthless anyway! 
Every day I grow more understanding of Stalin's purges.
"I know that after my death a pile of rubbish will be heaped on my grave, but the wind of History will sooner or later sweep it away without mercy." 
Like original_name37 is correcting them and getting downvoted because these people just don't care about us. All their rhetoric about nuance and strategy is just what they tell themselves to ignore their own depravity. To draw an extreme comparison, this is like someone living just outside a Nazi death camp and telling themselves the bangs and wails on the other side of the wall are just the noise of normal factory work. The acrid smoke rising from the crematorium is just regular factory exhaust nothing more.
Had another infuriating encounter with this lovely gentleman from terf island yesterday: CW (transphobia) and (racism)
Whenever anti-communists or lumpenproletariat accuse Stalin of killing 4 gorillion people, just remember the people he killed were all people like in that Reddit thread defending stuff like this and worse.
I do, and every day I see more examples of people who deserve it.
the people he killed were all people like in that Reddit thread defending stuff like this
4 gorillion too few 
oh my fucking god
Like 80% of people will just shriek "criminalzzzz!!!!" completely uncritically. I don't know how the fuck equating legality with morality is so pervasive, I thought this was something we all did in like middle school. Hey dipshit, the law is unjust.

His kill-the-unhoused stances already disqualified him.
Idk what his stance on the Palestinian Genocide is but he's a liberal darling so probably terrible, can anyone confirm?
Throwing trans people under the bus? Cherry on top
Idk what his stance on the Palestinian Genocide is but he's a liberal darling so probably terrible, can anyone confirm?
He called Israel an apartheid and then later said he "regretted" saying it. I don't think he's called the genocide a genocide though.
Thanks! If a politician can't call genocide genocide* then they should be treated the same as Holocaust deniers
*and treat it as such. So yes I am calling AOCIA a nazi
He went on the podcasts with chuds to agree that trans rights were going too far and show support for sports bans of trans women lmao I don't know how people still buy into his shit.
Common Gavin L
Remember when libs were telling us that if we don't support him, it's because we secretely hate Trans kids? Well get ready for the follow-up "Gavin Betrays His Voters: Presidential Campaign Edition"
Liberals on bsky have now flipped to accusing trans people of being racist (specifically accusing them of not caring about black people and immigrants targeted up by Ice).
I guess they realised the "x group we are genociding hates gays so don't feel bad about them" makes them racist as hell so this is their attempt at pivoting.
Navin Gruesome plans to switch parties and run as a Republican, apparently.
2028 is going to suck so bad.
California is supposed to be one of the "better" states for trans stuff, right? What a loser.

Vote blue no matter who, because no matter who you vote for they're all coming for you
Gruesome Gavin the Homeless Terminator sucks ass, the unfortunate liberal that tells me I “must” vote for him is gonna get so many cuss words thrown at them it’ll be like when the cartoon swears so much the cartoonist just starts drawing a dark cloud instead of symbols
Vetoing a bill sponsored by Planner Parenthood should be political suicide in California.
Having rights is genuinely over forever, isn't it
blue maga mfer
Tankies once again carrying the burden of being right all the time
What a fucking piece of shit. This bill is specifically so that, in the unlikely event that the Republican candidate for governor (who specifically stated that he would extradite abortion providers) is elected to succeed him this November, he won't be able to do that.
“While I share the author’s views on the importance of protecting these important healthcare services, extradition is an exclusively executive function,” wrote Newsom. “When discretionary, that discretion is appropriately placed with the Governor. I am troubled by the precedent that would be set if an outgoing administration agreed with the Legislature to erode the executive authority of an incoming Governor based on their shared policy preferences, regardless of how righteous and well-intended those actions may be.”
I don't even fucking understand what he's trying to say here.
Again, what a fucking piece of shit. Fuck him. His sister makes terrible fucking music too. Eat shit.
I am troubled by the precedent that would be set if an outgoing administration agreed with the Legislature to erode the executive authority of an incoming Governor based on their shared policy preferences
Sounds like he's troubled by the idea of anything of fundamentally changing anything for the rest of his term, so he's vetoing everything instead?
I don’t even fucking understand what he’s trying to say here.
He is against anything that would diminish the power of the office, and since it's Gruesome Newsome most likely specifically against anything that would diminish the power of his office to opress people.
if he shows his rat face around here its on sight
