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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Libs will be more worked up about this than the continuing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza plus the injuries, suffering, and death in the West Bank.

Libs were always weird about this guy and sincerely believed he was a bigger deal than he was. Polls showed him trailing behind the Communist Party candidate and the financial minister

I'm curious why anyone really gives a shit about this, the likelihood this guy was ever gonna me a challenger to Putin at this point is, what? .000000000001%, if that. Surprised I'm seeing as many posts about this as I am.

Western liberals believed that Navalny was the opposition leader to Putin. He was always talked about in media as "the opposition leader". Not "a opposition leader" but specifically "the".

This is important because it frames in people's minds that he was the main opposition. It makes people think of it in a Republican vs Dems way.

This framing is helped by the fact that the communist party is literally NEVER talked about in western media. They don't exist as far as liberals know.

We have to hear about this guy solely because the US State Dept wanted him to be the guaido of Russia. Well, I guess he was, in that he failed utterly.

Libs gave an Oscar to a movie about a guy who said he’d have no problem working with fascists if it made sure his goals are met. Good riddance.

Update: Yuliya Navalnaya made a surprise appearance at the Munich Security Conference to appeal to everyone to punish the Russian regime. (NY Times)

Just hours after her husband was reported dead, Yulia Navalnaya made a dramatic, surprise appearance at a gathering of world leaders in Munich on Friday. Taking the stage, she denounced President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and vowed that he and his circle “will be brought to justice.”

The diplomats and political leaders at the Munich Security Conference were already reeling from reports that her husband, Aleksei A. Navalny, the Russian dissident, had died in prison under suspicious circumstances when Ms. Navalny stunned the hall by striding in. Conference organizers quickly wrapped up a session with Vice President Kamala Harris and turned the microphone over to Ms. Navalnaya.

“We cannot believe Putin and his government,” Ms. Navalnaya told the audience. “They are lying constantly. But if it’s true, I would like Putin and all his staff, everybody around him, his government, his friends, I want them to know that they will be punished for what they have done with our country, with my family and with my husband. They will be brought to justice, and this day will come soon.”

More funding for Ukraine. Some people are getting very rich off this, and clearly think the money well in Ukraine hasn’t dried up yet.

My man went from Blogger to Future President of Russia to Guy With Polonium Poisoning In A Serbian Prison and there's a part of me that's genuinely a bit jealous, because I'm still stuck at Blogger.

Do you think it was the polonium-flavored tea that did it, as our liberal visitor from another thread would suggest?

First, @UlyssesT@UlyssesT@hexbear.net left Hexbear and Kissinger died within 24 hours

Now, @NaibofTabr@infosec.pub accuses Putin of poisoning Navalny and leaves Hexbear, and Navalny dies within 24 hours

who-did-this

I’m just asking questions
