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 URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). 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 (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). 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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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.

(In the voice of David Attenborough)
The time between elections is a contentious one for the residents of the Democratic savanna. While, on the surface, things may appear calm, behind office facades and in high end restaurants, a vicious power struggle is taking place. Staffers and consultants are busily establishing a pecking order that will determine who will participate in the next election season, and who will be left out. Evidence of this struggle occasionally breaks the placid surface. Here, we see a book release: a strong signal from the candidate and her coterie that she intends to stake her claim to another nomination. A move this aggressive demands a response: soon we shall see thinkpieces and retrospective articles from other factions. This struggle for dominance will play out over the next news cycle, and the contest may not produce a clear winner. Combatants will return to their offices to lick their wounds until another candidate makes a bid.
I can hear Attenborough saying this so clearly in my head.
