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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --
Is it still going?
Ceasefire was delayed by a few hours as Israel was waiting on Hamas to give the names of the first hostages to be released, Israel used this delay to conduct the usual terror bombings. But Hamas has given the first three names of the hostages to be released as of now, and the ceasefire appears to be in effect.
Scum
Not sure if it counts as news but it looks like Marvel Snap was accidentally caught up in the TikTok ban and users can’t log in or play anymore 😂

In acp (patsoc/haz weirdos) news, they apparently fighting each other or something (don't want to investigate what's this about)
The meeting recording that Shaw posted makes them look so bad, lol. cult behavior.
13min?! Yeah, not gonna watch a dweeb in a bad suit for that long.
Lol me and my folks made a guesstimation that they wouldn't last one full year without imploding because of how fucking toxic they are.
While it's not an official dissolution, yet, I'm pretty happy to pronounce the anti-communist party dead, defunct, and dustbinned.
Edit 1: Gonna place new bets on its corpse being strung up as a marionetted corpse entity, trotskyite and maoist level splits, schism, and party revivals, and the whole 9 yards of a bunch of dipshits trying to grift off of their ever-shrinking crowd of marks
Edit 2: I think about it now but since it's essentially a Strasserite black hammer personality cult, I don't really think we'll see the usual shit that occures when an actual ideologically socialist party ruptures. It'll probably keep bleeding people like that coleslaw fellow that left their cult "leadership" running out screaming to the high heavens that it's a cult, and the remaining cultists will continue closing ranks and turning inwards until they go try and start a compound in the woods somewhere.
It might have something to do with the recent exposé about exploitation and it being a Haz cult. I don't know, I don't want to lose more brain cells because of these clowns.
[Trump’s ]https://x.com/NeatAlfonzo/status/1880710589695262861)‘ALL HELL TO PAY’ threat was also directed at Israel, not just Hamas — WSJ
JDPON DON lets gooo!!
I checked out that person's profile, and I can't tell if that account is a bit or not. If not, then they're seriously unwell. A transfem PatSoc. She also seems to follow a German PatSoc account that has "Against reaction and wokeness!" in their profile description and seems to be a Sarah Wagenknecht supporter. I think I've just lost some brain cells.
If you spend enough time in online trans spaces you'll come to realize that there is at least one neurotic transfem for every fringe political ideology.
Just a normal leftcom shitposter doing a bit
Netanyahu says a ceasefire in Gaza has been delayed until Hamas releases a list of hostages
I want to see Bibi
TikTok is now unavailable in the United States
Reminder that the biggest motivation for this is that the dems were pissed because they weren't censoring the genocide.
Lmao they actually did it
Land of the free USA baby #1
I think this is TikTok unilaterally withdrawing since the last I heard was Trump saying he'd wait at least 90 days
The message specifically says they'll be working on getting it up once trump takes office on Monday
Lmao.
Absolutely hilarious. Millions of Americans will be watching the inauguration closely on Monday just to see what Trump has to say about TikTok. You cannot make this shit up.
Even in his senility, Trump's instincts as a showman has not dulled one bit.
The democrat-republican demographics switch but the democrats become the republicans but the republicans become the people who put TikTok back in the hands of the working class proletariat, revered for all time.
I also can't access it even after changing my VPN to another country lol. I assume it's because they know that I downloaded it through the play store or something.
The problem is your account is locked to the region so it doesn't matter what VPN you use. Creating new account on a VPN and never turning it off should do it.
