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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

31 NICU babies were forced out of the hospital at gunpoint. 3 have already been confirmed killed in transit.

I saw someone say on tiktok “My daughter spent 69 days in the NICU. If on any one of those 69 days a state cut the power to the hospital or started dropping bombs and my daughter died, I’m 100% becoming a terrorist for the rest of my life.”

And that’s absolutely the correct position. How many “Hamas militants” have had children, parents, siblings murdered by Israel? Probably almost all of them. And at that point there’s very little they could do against their occupier that I would say isn’t justified.

One of my wife's coworkers had family in Palestine. She lost twenty three members of her extended family in a week, when Israel began bombing. I honestly have no idea how she even shows up to work anymore without going postal.

Yeah it fully falls under “We may need to start making excuses for the lack of terror.” Becoming a terrorist is the most sane and reasonable course of action in that situation.

How the fuck has no one tried to assassinate Brandon yet?

Not exactly a trivial endeavor. In the same way there were a handful of dorks and losers who made grasping efforts at attacking Obama, I'm sure a few folks have tried on Donny Donuts and Biden. But certainly nothing worth publishing about.

Nobody is going to manage a John Hinkley Jr in the year of our lord 2023, unless you've got a guy like Bush Sr waiting in the wings to take over. And for all her ambition, Kamala Harris simply isn't that girl. Maybe if Ole' Donny picks a particularly nasty VP, we might see someone pull off another assassination. But I'm not holding my breath. We're more likely to get an old fashioned military coup.
