PressTV is located in Tehran and publicly funded. I think the font in that image is Comic Sans? It's a common design mistake to use that font. Their website does look a little bit clunky, but their twitter feed is pretty good and their Television Channel is interesting.
This is true. Cenk says that he support capitalism all the time. Cenk was probably banned because he's always going on the British right wing Piers Morgan show as the anti-Israel guest.
I saw this story posted on Iranian news as well.
I agree but it's not like the megathread owns the URLs that are in the comments. The megathread people are set in their ways because they wish hexbear was a discord server.
If you see a comment in the megathread that you think is interesting enough to be a post, then you can make the link into a post (if it hasn't been posted).

Youtube algo recommended me this channel a few times. He's a licensed pharmacist and he reviews gas station pills. He made a review video for "perks", 6 days ago. I haven't watched it because it's age restricted and I don't use an account.
The asmongold tweet is real. I think the andrew tate tweet is fake. I don't see it on the cobratate twitter account.
I see a lot of users with like 1000 comments and close to 0 posts. Users are obligated to post the things that they want to see posted. If you (the girl reading this) are expecting something to be posted, then be the user to post it.
It's not hard to make 1 post a day. It takes like 10 minutes.
Maybe you saw a really funny meme. Maybe you saw an important news article. Maybe you read an interesting blog post. Maybe you have a special interest. Search to see if it has been posted today. If it has not been posted, then post it.

Avoid posting everything into the slop comm. With the rapid decline of Western Society, there seems to be a tendency to post everything into the slop comm. I believe that the slop comm should be focused on the bottom of the barrel to prevent it from being a catch-all comm. Slop should be a thing that would get you kicked out of a public space. Imagine you are in a coffee shop and making small talk with the barista. If you explained your post to the barista would you get kicked out of the coffee shop? If you said "I saw our president post some ai generated image where he was jesus. I couldn't believe it", you would not get kicked out of the coffee shop. If you told the barista "there's a world of warcraft player who doesn't shower and he wants to kill all immigrants", you might be asked to leave the coffee shop.
Chapo Trap House is a left wing political comedy podcast. It would make sense for posts that are funny and politics-related were in the chapotraphouse comm. Trump posting an image of himself as jesus, is something that they would talk about on Chapo Trap House.
Don't post screenshots of headlines without including the link to the article. The article headline and the article are written by 2 different people and many times the article headline can be inaccurate or not contain enough information. Don't repost screenshots that someone else made. Link to articles.
Make posts that you think are interesting. Make the title of the post contain key details about the post, sometimes articles bury the lede. Include keywords in the title or post body, so that your post is searchable. Don't be afraid to comment on your own post to share your opinion about the post or include additional information. If somebody comments on your post to say that your post isn't interesting, ignore them, they're being a jerk.
"Even though at one time Trotskyism represented an erroneous position, but a position in the field of political ideas, Trotskyism became during the following years a vulgar instrument of imperialism and reaction. This is the way these gentlemen think. For example, in relation to South Vietnam, where a broad revolutionary front has united the overwhelming majority of the people and various sectors of the population, has united them closely around the liberation movement in the struggle against imperialism. For the Trotskyists that is absurd; that is counterrevolutionary. Yet these gentlemen who serve imperialism have the gall to do such an unusual thing in the face of the facts and realities of history and against the revolutionary movement and to express themselves in this manner. "
-Fidel Castro, 1966
Trotskyists support Lenin but opposed the USSR. They also deny the existence of AES states. They oppose China, Vietnam, etc. They also oppose labor unions. They're known for selling newspapers.
The flag says "Revolutionary Communist International". The pin and t-shirt says RCI/RCP. This is a well known Trotskyist party. They own the url "marxist (dot) com".
They're outside in a public space. They're not trying to hide their faces; they're selling newspapers. Trotskyists are most often criticized for supporting western imperialism. I doubt that they're in any sort of danger.
Nowadays anyone still showing it is absolutely being racist.
I think the only reason that Southerners stopped flying Confederate Flags is because they fly Trump flags now instead. Or the Thin Blue Line flag.

Statement by CODEPINK’s Medea Benjamin Regarding an Alleged Government Investigation Into March Cuba Trip
Contrary to rumors, I have not received any subpoena from the U.S. government. Perhaps one is on the way. But let me be clear: we did nothing wrong during our March 2026 trip to Cuba. On the contrary, we acted as moral U.S. citizens trying to bring some relief to a population being deliberately starved by the cruel policies of our own government.
We traveled to Cuba under the U.S. government-authorized category of providing humanitarian aid to the Cuban people. We brought desperately needed medicines and medical supplies at a time when Cuba is suffering catastrophic shortages caused by the crippling U.S. blockade. We stayed in hotels explicitly permitted under U.S. regulations: Spanish-owned hotels approved for U.S. travelers.
It is outrageous that the U.S. government would target people for bringing humanitarian aid to suffering Cuban children. But even more disturbing is the cruel and deeply immoral policy the United States continues to impose on Cuba — a policy designed to strangle the island economically, deprive people of food, fuel, medicine, and basic necessities, and make daily life unbearable.
This policy has contributed to catastrophic shortages of medicine and electricity, massive blackouts, transportation collapse, and a public health crisis that has hurt the most vulnerable, especially children and the elderly. It is a policy that is, literally, killing babies, as we have seen in the recent tragic doubling of the infant mortality rate. This is why we focused our donations on medical supplies for pediatric hospitals.
In addition to the immense human suffering these U.S. policies are causing, we are now hearing reckless threats about an invasion of Cuba — a path that would bring chaos, violence, and a massive migration crisis.
Year after year, the global community overwhelmingly condemns the U.S. blockade at the United Nations. The United States should lift the blockade, normalize relations with Cuba, and allow the future of Cuba to be determined by the Cuban people themselves — not by ambitious U.S. politicians or a small group of hardline Cuban-American extremists in Miami.
President Trump already has his hands full trying to disentangle himself from the disastrous U.S. war with Iran. He should not start another one in Cuba. The American people are tired of endless wars, interventions, sanctions, and suffering imposed in our name.
I copy/pasted the text above from the codepink website. She says other stuff in the video; it has subtitles.

I actually watched the whole video a few days ago. At 30 minutes, she says that "jews control hollywood and therefore jews control the way that our brains create our realities". I would say that most anti-Zionist people don't believe that Jews do mind control through Hollywood.
At like 50 minutes, she says that she's not against US imperialism. I'm not even sure she understand what imperialism means. The reason that she gives is that she is a woman and needs a man to "feel safe", implying that the US military will protect her from bad forces of other countries.
Her and BE get into a whole back and forth for 20 minutes about supporting veterans and increasing the size of the military. BE brings up Graham Platner. Galindo says US veterans should have more benefits. Why does BE talk so much during an interview? He's treating the interview like it's a debate.
At like 71 minutes, she says that she thinks US military veterans would be the most capable people to overthrow the corrupt US government. She thinks it would be a good thing if US war criminals did a coup to seize total control.
Honestly she doesn't seem much different from Graham Platner. She says that she was a military wife in the video. If we ignore the antisemitism allegations. What actually makes her different from Graham Platner if both support the US military?
BE's worldview seems to be purely shaped by being a contrarian. He likes Galindo because Hasan denounced her and that's it. When she says that she wants a big US military, he just says I'll send you my video so I can teach you about that. He just brushes it off.
