I didn’t see this one on the list: https://www.qiaocollective.com/

Though tbf it doesn’t look like they publish very often these days :/

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

Skipped the entire of 2023, interesting.

More lefitsh than leftist, but In These Times and The Real News are generally good for U.S. labor news.

@DivineChaos100@hexbear.net posted a long list of news sources a while back, both mainstream and left, from a wide range of tendencies.

Didn't real news drop Chris Hedges bc he said he wasn't voting for Biden when he was still in

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Yes. We're going to have serious complaints about any U.S.-based site. Their excuse was because of something to do with non-profit status and rules about endorsements. They attack Biden all the time, though, and had good coverage of the would-be railroad strike.

Unfortunately that list isn't online anymore so i'm working from inoreader now

I think Black Agenda Report deserves a mention.

[–] CleverOleg@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

There’s The Red Stream (https://thered.stream/) that would be under World.

[–] OgdenTO@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

I would add The Narwhal to the list of Canadian sources. Not exactly a politically left paper, but has a left lean and focuses on environmental issues. It's good.

I need to save this and go over it with what I have. I would add:

General Aggregate:

  • PopularResistance.Org: https://popularresistance.org/
    (RSS feed is an aggregate of news articles pulled from other news sources, so it's good if you want to find more progressive news sources)

World/General

Pan-African:

Mostly US:

Brazil:

Venezuela:

Cuba:

UK:

Palestine/West Asia:

Environment:

There's also Twitter/Telegram accounts like @african_stream

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Time to update my RSS.

Maybe you can put a note next to WSWS (published articles defending sexual predators) and Morning Star (they fuck with TERFs, or so i was told).

Also if The Guardian is here i think Common Dreams and Truthout can go to the US tab, they're more succdems but actually doing great job as a news service.

Prensa Latina is even better, it's mostly Cuba centered but have news from most AES.

For anarchist news there's uhhhh Anarchist News and It's Going Down and Act for freedom

[–] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Mostly Spain-based, but with presence in other countries as well: Izquierda Revolucionaria and their roughly monthly newspaper "El Militante"

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Are there any news sites with half-decent English coverage of events in China/East Asia? I still feel so isolated from a quarter of humans because I literally never see news except "China bad". Otherwise I'm gonna just have to learn Mandarin.

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

I have more on the feed reader on my laptop that I can post when I get home.

[–] blame@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

Naked Capitalism, perhaps. I don't think they are necessarily leftist per se but have always struck me as progressive and have in depth analysis of current events with a critical eye to the neoliberal party line.
