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.

The only principled liberal. She said people don't need healthcare and then she died.
I'm highly doubting that the motivation of the shooter was that he supported free healthcare. The suspected shooter worked for private security, had US military ties, and owned a cop car.
I don't mean that. To me he's chud-coded. I just mean that I'm happy she's dead for that reason.
I am clarifying because right wing twitter have declared the shooter to be a left wing radical. I'm suspecting right wingers will create conspiracy theories similar to the David DePape situation, where they claimed that the attack was motivated by a lover's quarrel.
Seems he also wanted to kill Ilhan Omar and a bunch of abortion rights activists. Seems the only kind of healthcare that was involved in his thinking was about preventing woman from access to it.
yeah he's probably not even a luigi
We must reach across the aisle to heal the partisan divide that's tearing this great nation apart
the aisle being the space between a barrel and the head of fascists and their collaborators
Of fucking course she was a ghoul, even among Dems. 0 sympathy now
well well well.
crab dance?
I've heard worse reasons
It's so annoying being local to this news right now, because the liberals are UPSET and are revising history as if she was a saint.
Damn, that's kind of ironic.
This person and her family can honestly go pound sand.
I'm glad they have to deal with death because of how much they support it.
I hope people send them lots of "fuck you, you deserved this" cards.
Dont do that Reddit-ass shit where you find something she did that crosses your principles and immediately ascribe that as the obvious motive.
I don't care why she's dead and doubt that is the reason. I'm just happy she is because she was killing everyone around her.
Don't do that reddit ass shit where you bend over backwards to defend the lives of murderous ghouls who rob families of healthcare
is that what's going on in this post?
Yeah, denying people healthcare for the sake of political ambition, you know just a simple little everyday thing that crosses some people's high bound principles, no big deal
Go fuck yourself chud
it's unambiguously good that these freaks are dead, regardless of the killers motive
