    “In America you can be legally extra judicially executed by the police for the actions of people that you get to know”

            I’m going to write in “JoeByeThen, the guy from Hexbear” or maybe, like, AIDS or something. Black Plague for president.

    So when the police illegally trepass on our property, our options are:

    1. Do nothing and let them whatever they want, and ruin the things you’ve worked hard to get, and potentially cause you physical harm.

    2. Attempt to defend your property and then they are allowed to kill you and/or the people you love.

    3. Kill them first and go to jail for the rest of your life on murder charges.

    Personally, if cops illegally enter my house without a warrant, I without question will sacrifice my life in prison to keep my girls safe from tyrants.

    The US is disgusting and so is its pretense of being anywhere near just.

    And this is why I advocate for catching a pair of blue laces if the opportunity should approach you. “I feared for my life” works for them; so why shouldn’t it work for us too

          this is where i’m at now. worst case, they kill you. best case, they kill you after you kill some of them.

          easy choice.

    As horrible as it is, my gut reaction was “lol”, but not like funny “lol”, more like existential crisis, i dont even know what to feel “lol”. Admittedly it’s not something I had been following, but wasn’t expecting there to be any sort of justice. I fee like they pretty much just said that castle doctrine killed her, not them.

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.
