    First they came for the Palestinians in Gaza and I did not speak up because I don’t live there

    Then they came for minorities here and I did not speak up because I’m not a minority

    Then they came for white activist lesbian and I did not speak up because I’m not an activist nor a lesbian

    Now they came for a guy with concealed carry permit and there’s no one left to speak out for me

    If this happened in any other country, we’d be talking about sanctions and “human rights concerns.” After this administration, it’s absurdly hard to even take any accusation by the US government seriously, and, I don’t mean this in a “whataboutism,” but because it’s hard to not dismiss their accusations as political when they can’t even take care of their own home.

      Let’s be real, our government supports and contributes to this kind of shit in other countries too. It’s only ever a “problem” to them if there’s a possibility of the left and/or non-white folks rising up.

    Oh no, a bunch of the protestors are now getting on the ground with their hands up. Guys your faces will be right in the tear gas. And they will sweep in and arrest you. Stay on your feet and learn how to de-arrest, don’t pre-arrest your whole protest.

    Edit: they did gas the people on the ground before they left

    Tim Walz has said police officers are outnumbered, but he could order Minnesota police to deputize citizens who want justice. Keith Ellison could argue it’s the 2A right for citizens to do so and not charge anyone.

      Only two hours after Walz gave his press conference, the local pigs are gassing everyone in the streets while they’re escorted by the state troopers. Lol, but sure it’s numbers that stop the cops from being on the side of justice

      When an Ethiopia airlines flight got hijacked and was running out of fuel, the hijackers wouldn’t let the pilot land the plane. In order to try save everyone, the pilot used the PA to tell the passengers about the impending crash and also to “react to the hijackers,” in an attempt to get people to storm the cockpit and unhijack the plane. This should be the kind of communication from politicians, that even if it isn’t directly asking people to fight back, that’s what’s implied.

      US citizens murdered by illegal immigrants: 9

      US citizens murdered by ICE: 35

      Absolutely crazy. There’s no good reason to keep ICE around, they need to be abolished.

      He had a headache, okay? He only got 7 hours of sleep last night and hasn’t even had lunch yet. He’s just a little guy and he ran out of spoons, so he employed stress-management strategies like brazen murder and then mag-dumping on the corpse.

      I like making “Your honor” jokes. But this: “Your honor - we had to shot him dead a handful of times because he was resisting and he was afraid we might execute him.” - hits differently. There’s probably a zero percent chance of a trial for ICE pigs doing an execution on the street.

      And - serious question - Has rightwing media already started to slime the victim?

      The twin cities has what I would describe as a “medium amount of guns” by American large city standards. About 41% of households in the state have a gun, but rural areas skew that a bit (but not by much, given that more than half of Minnesotans live in the twin cities).

      Why haven’t any Minnesotans shot a fed yet? Partly it’s because the feds are traveling in packs and projecting an image of being ready to instantly retaliate against any adventurism. Partly it’s because of some discipline among Minnesotans to not escalate the situation in the way the feds want.

        They certainly like to project the image of being ready, but from the way they panicked when the gunshots went off, they’re clearly scared all the time. Maybe I’m optimistic, but I kind of think a couple of riflemen firing one mag each before running away could have wiped out most or all of that squad while they stumbled around in terror.

          The problem is whoever does that gets spotted on 28 different city cameras and however many UAVs the feds have circling the city, then they’re dead. I am pretty sure that everybody is running into that problem when they do the mental calculus of Doing Something About This. People don’t just need organization (which they also don’t have), they need some degree of protection from state reprisals, or at least enough of a belief that they have that that they can act

          idk how to solve this but based on hamas still being around I’m going to say we need a lot of tunnels

            That’s true, surveilance is a massive problem that needs to be overcome somehow. I don’t know really much of anything about signals or electronics, but there’s gotta be something… and whoever figures out what that something is will have invented the new urban paradigm

      guy had a gun and tried to help somebody the nazi pushed over instead of shooting the nazi.

      maybe that’s reasonable but these are not reasonable times.

      Surprising they would ban for that considering that’s what 80% of reddit comments are saying rn

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.

  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.
