Any decent German language news outlets? (hexbear.net)

I've been half heartedly teaching myself german on and off for years, but I'm still terrible at it.

Are there any leftist german news sites out there worth reading?

Maybe? Not sure actually. But if it's about learning the language, here are a few decent ones:

jugendinfo has short articles on many topics with easy language for a young, leftist target audience. Not sure who's behind it, some Kurdish group probably. Lots of short daily news on various social media, only few select articles on the linked website.
Activism Munich news, interviews and also lots of German translations from English sources. Anti-Imperialist. Also on YouTube and other social media.
world socialist website it's a trotskyist newspaper. But still decent takes on many issues.
Junge Welt leftist daily newspaper.
Meinungsfreiheit Palästina pro Palestine news on different social media
Medico International a non profit for humanitarian aid, that also publishes a short monthly magazine. Surprisingly good articles sometimes.

Careful if you search for leftist news sites on your own: many supposedly leftist ones are "Antideutsch" meaning zionist, imperialist, pro NATO, pro Genocide.
