iran can't keep doing this to me, they've gotta respond soon, right? I'm gonna run out of analysis about countries soon, oh god
The COTW (Child of the Week) label is designed to spur discussion and debate about a specific child every week in order to help the community gain greater understanding of the domestic situation of often-understudied children. If you've wanted to talk about the child or share your experiences, but have never found a relevant place to do so, now is your chance! However, don't worry - this is still a general news megathread where you can post about ongoing events from any child.
The Child of the Week is Hassan LargePenis! He is chad-and-cuck rater and general commenter @LargePenis@hexbear.net's son, born over a month ago. @Greenleaf@hexbear.net recommended I have him as the COTW for a week and I finally got around to it.

Israel-Palestine Conflict
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
UNRWA daily-ish reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.
English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.
Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
The DNC kicked Hasan out of the box they gave him to stream, seemingly because of this tweet, but wouldn't tell him what was going on. He was saying on stream that at least the didn't take his credentials away, and then like 5 minutes later a DNC staffer stream sniped him to take his credentials lol.
EDIT: Apparently AOC's team had reached out to the Pod Jons and they were going to let Hasan use their space lol.
like, what did they expect? what dnc staffer thought he would be good for their brand and that they'd be able to bring him into the fold?
it's possible that come election time he'll do lesser of two evil talk, but he's been very vocal about supporting Palestinians throughout this genocide. did they think he'd suddenly drop that tone?
They already folded I think, he's talking to someone else from the DNC now and they are trying to find a place for him. He had ~20K more concurrent viewers than NBC's stream, was in the process of being interviewed by a NYT reporter, and had AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Shawn Fain lined up as guests and they kicked him out on stream lol.
Hilarious tbh
He's been consistent and clear: "in not voting for Harris, don't care if you do, my only real advice is youre a dumshit if you vote for trump, have a nice day"
He tells his viewers to vooooote. He’s already in the fold, everyone knows who his viewers are supposed to vote for without him needing to endorse them specifically
Eh? You're being a bit too contrarian here. Telling people to vote for ballot measures and occasionally local politicians is not the same thing as endorsing Harris.
when will the radlib electoralist shit end? can i never escape you people?
Yeah, clearly I'm a radlib yes. Voting for ballot measures makes me a giant lib. I should sit down and do nothing instead.
This is not the same thing as political electorialism. If a good measure is up for a direct election, it's not bad to actually support it. It takes like no effort do it, and if it fails, well, there's little cost.
going to the giant genocide convention and hugging the genociders and telling your impressionable children viewers to get in bed with them makes Hasan a radlib yes
This site needs another cultural revolution, who tf keeps posting electoralism on my hexbear
every 4 years they all appear, and then they are gone afterwards. hold steady
It actually counter revolutionary voting to make weed legal
he's literally at the genocide convention right now hugging DNC propagandists and people who support Israel. It's all a game to people like him.
Are Charlie Kirk and Matt Walsh hugging the pod Jons and planning softball interviews with AOC (pro-genocidal bourgeois politicians)?
No, they aren't and that makes comrade Charlie Kirk and comrade Matt Walsh the vanguard of the revolution
i'm not defending them or saying they're good, my point is they aren't cozying up to the democrats like Hasan is doing so it's a moot comparison. Nobody on this site thinks Charlie Kirk or Matt Walsh are allies, a shockingly high amount of people on this site do think radliberal parasocial celebrities are their friends and allies and it shows a huge lack in theoretical and historical knowledge.
The leaders of the working class movement will not be twitch streamers. They will be proletarian to their core and organically central to the entire militant movement. There is no organized left in America right now, but when there is one it sure as shit won't be grifting clout-chasing twitch streamers at the vanguard or anywhere even tangential to it.
If Hasan was there to protest it would be different, or even as an observer/reporter like Matt Cushman did at the RNC on acid, but he's there on DNC approval and hanging with the fucking pod jons and AOC! He's networking! He's using his platform to push pro-AOC pro-Democrat talking points! He's selling you out! These people are all the fucking same how do you people fall for this over and over and over, it's a fucking grift and electoralism is a dead end
If he really does completely sell out and endorse kadolf I'll be clicking don't recommend channel but until then I'll let him cook
I'm always ready to kill my heros and I don't even consider him one of those
He doesn’t need to endorse her, as I said. He just has to keep the hope of electoralism and reformism burning in the hearts of the youth and generally push for voting as a concept
This is actually quite indicative of beliefs. The dnc is moving ever rightward, they're showing bourgeois class solidarity.
Damn I take back what I said about him being a little too liberal. All he has to do is call out AOC to her face and I’ll never question him again.
He was not going to call out AOC lol. He just hugged one of the Pod Jons on stream.
some podsaveamerica radlibs will become hasan flavored radlibs and watch his streams instead of listening to their podcasts? so what? both will vote blue down the ballot and both will stay in their alienated consumption-based political fandoms.
this isn't politics. this is a grifter among grifters, all of various flavors, all electoralists and all dead ends
I mean when he went to protests of the dnc there were constantly people coming up to him saying he opened their eyes or radicalized them. He seems to be doing more than just grifting idk
He gets more prime subs.
Edit: didn't finish reading your comment, yep all grift
Lol how you can hug them without turning it into a bear hug is beyond me
Trust the plan. The tracking device has been planted by Agent Hasan.
PS my phone keyboard autocorrects Hasan to Hamas wtf.
Your message gets auto deleted in his chat if you say it, but Zionists tried to hit him with "HamasanAbi" but that shit simply goes to hard.
Also Hasan actually had like two security scares within an hour of leaving the DNC. If anything he needs to be checking his shit for bugs lol.
honestly good for his actual cred.
Just like him hugging AOC and the pod Jons afterwards?
Can someone post the text of the tweet? I can't view it
Also including the Ryan Grim reply since it was pretty funny:
all of this for a liberal Palestinian speaker who would have gotten up there and both-sided the issue for 2 minutes while Liberals pretend to be somber, only to immediately forget and go back to their partying and mocking the protesters
Quoted tweet (Hasan tweet in my reply to myself):

Mehdi Hasan
@mehdirhasan
Reporters are being briefed, it seems, that the DNC accepted Dem state Rep
@Ruwa4Georgia
as a Palestinian speaker for tonight on the stage but
@uncommittedmvmt
turned her down. That is simply not true. It’s a lie. Being told, I assume, by DNC spinners now on the defensive. Uncommitted are the ones who pitched her! And there’s still time for the
@DNC
to put
@Ruwa4Georgia
on stage tonight for two mins. If they have time and space for a former Republican congressman, and for Israeli family members of a hostage, they have time and space for an elected Palestinian Democratic lawmaker. Anything else is straight up racism and erasure.
