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.

Shocking, a soc dem dipshit is also pro genocide
is she a soc dem? as far as i can tell she's just a run of the mill dem
Not a socdem? She's the highest profile elected DSA member in the United States. I get that people are embarrassed in hindsight that they used to treat her with the kind of messianic fervor that they treated Bernie in 2016 or Mamdani now, but their politics really haven't meaningfully changed. She remains the same extremely average imperial radlib as she was when NYDSA got her elected, and she acts accordingly. Despite the disproportionate attention she gets for being relatively young and conventionally attractive, I don't think her positions on Palestine are even worse than average among DSA-electeds, especially if we're acknowledging the former-DSA former-electeds. Rashida Tlaib's the only DSA member I know of whose positions are consistently better, and she's basically a coin toss away from being lynched on the House floor on any given day while the House Minority Leader cheers.
People don't want to acknowledge that there is no legal nonviolent path to reforming this genocidal settler empire, so they keep lowering the bar for what counts as "winning". After they've "won", they act like they've been betrayed because their circumstances haven't changed. These are the extremely predictable results of putting effort behind getting big tent radlibs that disavow revolutionary politics and party discipline invited onto to the bridge of the death star. They get a front row seat to watch the emperor fire the superlaser while they try to convince themselves that being in the room looking upset while the button is pressed is doing harm reduction.
I'm just saying it's just a brand name they put on or take off as the winds blow. It doesn't actually mean anything to people like AOC
I think she could still qualify, but only because general level of the succdems in the west is lowest ever.
