Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- 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 not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

She seems very good.

Content Warning: there is an American asshole from I24 at one point. It gets a bit confrontational. Other than that, it’s incredible.

It’s honestly very cathartic seeing someone at the highest possible level be this honest and upfront about what is going on. Also, Abby Martin is there.

I mean there is a reason why Israel hates the UN. Because as much as it would be to their benefit to adhere to the US line, they can't help themselves but to appoint people like this. For all it'll do. One big puzzle for me is why this isn't a more concerning aspect for libs. Shouldn't this be their problem?

I didn't actually bring myself to read the report yet. I only opened it and zoomed out. Look at the footnotes (purple) vs text ratio in the report: it is allllll citations. The mark of a writer who knows they will not be believed when asserting the sky is blue.

I'm surprised at her pep. I felt tired on her behalf watching.

I only notice at the end she is wearing a gray and black kufiyyeh.

I think you found the only good italian.
