this fucking asshole was just on connoreatspants talking about trump destroying the country, free speech under attack, blah blah blah...

but also this:

The bill, AB 715, cleared both chambers of the Legislature unanimously in votes

democratic stronghold btw

[-] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 52 points 3 months ago

During a last-minute hearing to debate the bill, the chair of an Assembly committee vented he was being forced to “choose between fighting antisemitism and supporting a bad policy bill that is opposed by every single education advocacy organization.”

Guess which side he chose?

[-] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 32 points 3 months ago

maybe that person can make a new genre of movie, 'sign and cry' about the tough choices that legislators have to make when they are actively providing cover for a genocide

Chuds like to call Gruesome Gavin "Hairgel Hitler" for all the wrong reasons, but he really is such an exemplar of slick presentation and faux-progressivism veneer atop a foundation of neoliberalism.

Used car salesman looking motherfucker

Can't wait for my therapist who said Charles Entertainment Kirk fought for free speech to insist this guy is Jesus 2 for the next 3 years. marx-joker

Really need to find a leftist one or at least one who won't stab my brain with liberalism.

Anyway, free-palestine

[-] Pentacat@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

The key to a therapeutic relationship is trust. Without trust it’s a lot less likely to work. There are a lot of therapists out there.

[-] KoboldKomrade@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

The difficulty for me is that therapy is draining enough as it is, and the thought of shopping for one sounds even worse. I trust the one I got right now overall. It is very frustrating when they decide to say some uncritical crud.

Last two were similar. Very progressive overall, but randomly frustrating when it came to politics. Very American brained. "Bernie bro" even. At least this one caught that I have ADHD.

Charles Entertainment Kirk

data-laughing

[-] Crikeste@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

I just want to say that I don’t think it’s appropriate for your therapist to be telling you things like that, and I think you should report them for doing so.

Your therapist is supposed to hear you and guide you, not debate you.

Anyways, FREE PALESTINE

I don't know what the fuck these people are thinking when the perception of america having free speech is really the last thing it has going for it. People are just going to see China lapping the U.S. more and more and instead of "well at least WE have FREE SPEECH smuglord" it's gonna be "well they don't have free speech" "yeah well neither do we"

[-] huf@hexbear.net 46 points 3 months ago

americans dont have free speech about another country. not even their own.

[-] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 3 months ago

China already has more free speech than the USA today.

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago

"the perception of"

[-] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago

it will be 'can you imagine how much less free speech would be if we were CHINESE??????? thank god!!'

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

Yeah you're right

[-] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

Every time Amerikkka makes decisions this stupid and bad for optics, I'm left in complete awe that these idiots won the Cold War. How much of a dog's breakfast of the Supreme Soviet was Gorbachev making, that these idiots won that!?

[-] Biggay@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

The later soviets were fucking imbecilic liberals.

[-] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

I know they were. Fucking revisionists. Destroyed the greatest win that socialism ever got. Stalin should have purged the lot.

[-] m532@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Back then, there were still competent imperialists alive

[-] alexei_1917@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

Unfortunately true.

[-] plinky@hexbear.net 51 points 3 months ago

Teachers must be “factually accurate” in lessons and adhere to unspecified “standards of professional responsibility,” while avoiding “advocacy, personal opinion, bias or partisanship.”

thousands sinwars to be produced in california schools

[-] Self_Sealing_Stem_Bolt@hexbear.net 44 points 3 months ago

Bet anything that if teachers just read quotes of isntreal politicians they'd be fired for being "critical" of isntreal.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 47 points 3 months ago

Literally this happened with Charlie Kirk after the ventilating; people posted his videos and everyone got upset with them

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 3 months ago

Was the craziest but most unsurprising part. Hell Kimmel got almost fired for just quoting Trump talking about Kirk

[-] Biggay@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

Yeah but that craven bent the fucking knee

[-] mickey@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

This reminded me that a few months ago I was talking with a new English teacher getting set up to take on their first classroom and they mentioned having to do all the reading they would be teaching that year. They got to a section on the Holocaust and I had a twinge of knowing it would be presented as an exceptional genocide and an excuse for Zionists to act without consequence.

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 47 points 3 months ago

we can turn him left after the election!

As horrible as the Trump higher education crackdown/takeover is, California has been doing that shit to its own universities for years

[-] Chana@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

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.
