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.

It lives in my brain forever that Mitch McConnell eats apple sauce for breakfast, mashed potatoes for lunch, and ham and gravy for dinner every single day.
Probably due to dentures. But one of the most powerful and richest ghouls of the American Regime eating joyless baby food is some sort of metaphor.
he should be eating shit in a dirt hole
I distinctly remember Hillary saying she has something like a plain hotdog with ketchup for lunch most days. All of the money they'd ever want or need and they eat the most basic slop imaginable.
i think it was even a bunless hot dog. just the weiner with ketchup. literally what my ass was eating when i was 5 and poor
That is revolting. It is one thing if she is going outside to get a dirty water dog everyday. That is sick but in the correct, NY kind of way. This sounds like she has a pack of hotdogs in a minifridge in her office and she is microwaving them.
Remember how she carries a bottle of hot sauce with her wherever she goes? Especially if that hotdog comment was said when she was campaigning, it was only because she thought it would make her more appealing to the lowly, unwashed masses. "See, I'm just like all you dirty poors!"
I think the hot sauce thing turned out to be true, like she does really have a bottle on but staffers said she put it on everything even stuff you wouldn’t normally like she was a character from iZombie. So even her humanising “normal” behaviour was done in an odd and off-putting manner
Like ghouls as they are, you know Obama and Newsom are eating like fancy lads.
Internationally Trudeau and Macron are eating good.
Starmer and Albanese probably too but then they have to lie and triangulate on something neutral and boring.
starmer eats at the high-end restaurants in parliament that are heavily subsidized by the taxpayer
they pay less for fancy sit-down meals than the average prole does for a greasy take out
Yeah but like with whole Kemi Badenoch sandwich thing he’s got to pretend like he is not doing that.
dont all pms just eat raw onion for lunch???
You can't tell me Xi isn't getting the best fucking Chinese food in the world.
I'd believe it if you told me his mom still cooks for him lol. He has the vibe
is she depressed?
It is wild how this describes like HUNDREDS of our politicians.
