Just got swept off of Reddit completely, only a matter of time of course. What do you guys use to keep up with current events? Lefty subreddits (if you can call any subreddit that much “left” anymore with the tankie crackdowns) were my biggest source of current events and comrade’s perspectives on such.

So what do you comrades use? Any good newsletters? Other social media platforms?

    Breakthrough News is currently my #1 favorite. They don’t hit a homerun 100% of the time but most of their stuff is reliably awesome and it’s very palatable to share with someone not fully “in the know,” it just comes off like good quality cable news. The roster of anchors and guests is very varied, they are all knowledgeable and fairly charismatic.

    Sometimes I still read CounterPunch magazine online (my original first exposure to leftist content), although it’s kind of Pan-Left so you get people of all tendencies, good and bad, getting published. Still pretty solid though.

    I’ve been trying to get more sources directly from China, one of the anchors from BT is from there and she’s awesome but I just wanted to corroborate and supplement it with even more, but I haven’t settled on any one source that I can completely and excitedly cosign just yet.
