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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

This is good context, and god-damn Hasan is really cooking recently.
Yeah this, the firefighter interview, the Bernie interview. It’s been great. He also said if the ceasefire holds, and if international parties are then allowed, he’s interested in going into Gaza. Scahill obviously cautioned him about the dangers associated with doing that (i.e. Israel can claim at any point that Hamas has violated the ceasefire and start bombing again) but they both agreed on the importance of international observers, journalists etc to document what has happened. They agreed to talk off-camera more about that.
Yeah, his firefighter interview was posted either in part, or had a screenshot and link posted by Kim Kardashian on her Instagram. That's not a celebration of Kim Kardashian, mind you, but she saw his content, thought it was good enough to post to millions of people. Who can say if there is any kind of trickle-down effects from that kind of signal boosting, but it's not something you see every day, that's for sure.
Going to Gaza, that's a wild idea. I can think of a specific content creator who is always up his ass who would probably never be caught inside the borders of Gaza, and would undoubtedly say he's only doing it for clout at this point. Talk about two diverging trajectories.
