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.

NC Republicans always go sicko mode because half the shit they propose is immediately blocked by Roy Cooper.
Edit: This dude has always been a crank and this will go nowhere. It's also total nonsense, since "using lethal force to prevent an abortion" is an abortion. And using lethal force after an abortion doesn't prevent one.
The way that the bill is written seems like it is meant to make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. Also Roy Cooper stopped being the Governor in January 2025. The current Governor is Josh Stein. Roy Cooper is running to be a Senator for NC this year, also a Zionists.

My bad, they're so indistinguishable that I forgot.
This is also definitely terrible, but NC/SC Republicans have always been a totally different breed. NC in particular has some really virulent Republicans due to the swing state status and ridiculous gerrymandering that gives a few religious enclaves as much power as the two largest cities combined.
So if I say I thought someone was on their way to commit an abortion, I can use that as a defense? It's reasonable, their cell phone looked like a package of mifepristone
yeah, but it does hurt the woman, and the point of all this anti-abortion nonsense has always been to hurt women. the cruelty is the point.
I know, all I'm saying is that this will be thrown out almost immediately. He's tried this before and even the Republicans laugh him out of the room.
They will probably end up doing something, but they'll do something that's more clinical and enforceable. Something like withholding aid from women who get abortions, or criminal charges for "aiding and abetting".
