Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

His whole cabinet are with him
All of maga/gop are with him
They control both congressional houses + the Supreme Court
Half the dems are ok with half of what he does
None of which alters the fact that he's patently insane.
Though it does certainly call their mental health into question too.
Did Watdabney stutter??? All I'm hearing is that "all of maga and half the dems" need to be taken out like the trash that they are.
You first.
Seriously, all this stupid talk of guillotines and everything else. You do realize a full third voted for this, a full third DID NOT CARE to vote at all. And honestly, until economic issues affect them those same 2/3 won't care to do jack shit. And let me tell you, the 1/3 that hates this aren't despaired enough to foment a revolution.
God these pithy sentiments are useless. Familiarize yourself with reality and understand that we are so, so far away from any real change.
Show me where in the 25th amendment they mention anything about guillitines.
Why are you going on about legalism, as if the US has a functioning legislative and judicial system? It is obviously broken to the core and the constitution or voting doesn't matter in the slightest.
Who are the people who are going to invoke that 25th amendment on Trump?
A full third didn't care to vote because a majority of Democrats said genocide is okay. Maybe instead of criticizing them, criticize the politicians that got us here.
And at least one of you still doesn't understand:
Not voting is voting.
Democrats: Here's your corporate Dick Cheney loving wouldn't do anything differently than genocide Joe the Zionist puppet.
Progressives: Yeah, we're not going to vote for that.
Democrats: Can't believe we lost to Trump, it's the Progressives fault. Guess we need to go further neocon the next election.
Not voting has never changed anything for the benefit of the non-voter. Never.
If you want any sort of change - vote.
I did vote for Jill Stein. But don't act surprised that people don't vote when given a fake choice between two neocons.
People being stupid stopped surprising me decades ago.
Yet you keep losing to people you claim are the dumbest people alive. Wonder if you'll ever take some time for self-reflection & strategy besides, "Biden was young & dynamic!"
The rich and powerful have so much control over politics. The one sliver of actual political power you hold is your vote. To think that giving up that power gives you any sort of political benefit is the stupidest idea I've ever heard.
You couldn't even be bothered to do what very little you could to oppose a psychopath from becoming president.
I did, like I said I voted for Jill Stein. Did you vote for the psychopath Kamala, wouldn't do anything different than genocide Joe, Cheney?
You didn't vote in the general. You threw away your political power. You're an idiot.
I did vote in the General for Stein. Politicians don't deserve votes, they earn them. The sooner you figure that out & many Democrats stop acting like authoritarians they claim to hate, like the massive hypocrites they often are, then you won't have to worry about another Trump because you'll actually have morals for once.
So naive. The rich understand that it's not about supporting a candidate personally - it's about affecting change in your favor. It's how they keep power.
Glad you finally admit to admiring the oligarchy. Sad you can't connect that as a big reason you lost to Trump.
Idiot
Jill stein is a plant to make you vote third party in a system designed for only two parties.
LOL, she didn't make me. She earned my vote. I didn't get what I voted for though unfortunately. You're getting exactly what you voted for though.
No I am not.
Man its weird how defensive the purity voters got. Palestine is being wiped from the map and we're attacking other countries unprovoked but both sides amirite?
Every single one of these deaths could have been avoided if you didn't fall for the obvious divide and conquer strategy being peddled out by bad faith actors.
The entire reason the Overton window keeps shifting right is because the right wing assholes will vote lockstep for whoever the right candidate is. He may not be right enough for them, or he may be too far right for some, but they all fucking show up and vote.
Meanwhile, we can't get leftists to figure that simple fact out and then people directly helping these assholes wine about how the candidate wasn't perfect.
uh dude
Is there something I need to clarify?
My previous encounters with the troll you're communicating with lead me to conclude they are one of the bad faith actors you describe.
Democrats like Kamala Cheney keeps shifting right because that is the type of neocon Democrats you keep telling everyone they must support. Then when they engage in war without congressional approval & commit war crimes like Obama did, you stick your head in the sand.
I think most every president since FDR was ass. I also know letting the window shift further right isnt going to help. We should be making the furthest right candidate lose by tons each and every election just like the right shows out and keeps making that Overton window shift right.
It shifts right because people keep making excuses for corporate Democrats who don't stand for anything. They keep propping up the system that got us here. If you consider yourself on the left, then vote left where the progressives were at. Don't vote right of center & complain that it keeps shifting to the right. Don't just scream about Republicans when genocide the proud Zionist Joe & drone-strike Obama were killing children. All it does is signal to everyone you're a hypocrite, and that is how you end up with Trump.
Yet we are currently living through what happens when you do that. While both options suck, I'm not going to contribute to accelerating a genocide and allowing for multiple new warfronts to open up. I'm rather vote for not having camps like alligator Alcatraz opening up.
I vote as far left as possible in primaries and the general but we're actively seeing what not voting against fascism gets you: fucking fascism. Has not voting against fascism stopped the bullshit DNC push of fucking Newsom? No. So non voters allowing fascism isnt exactly helping the cause.
A fraction of the Dems, let's be real here.
half is still a fraction
1/1 is also a fraction, but in English dialect the term 'a fraction' is synonymous with 'a small part of' rather than denoting any possible fraction.
