World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Just adding: because he is a a MEGA PEDO WHO RAPED CHILDREN AND THIS IS ALL BECAUSE HE WANTS PEOPLE TO FORGET ABOUT THE EPSTIEN FILES
Thanks, I haven't seen this repeated in the last 15 minutes, and it's important to keep this front and center.
Also, not just Trump. All Conservatives are MAGA, and all MAGAS are PedoCons.
Those files for certain implicate much of the GQP establishment and Trump otherwise they'd have no trouble releasing it for the few liberals that are on there compared to them.
Even if they released everything they had, they would still quarantine anything that implicates Trump. We might still get something actionable, but it's doubtful. Chain of custody is so compromised at this point, that nobody with a decent lawyer will get convicted in a real court. Court of public opinion will have to do.
OTOH, I've been seeing occasional articles on the OTHER Epstein investigation, the one following the many money trails. He had a LOT of money, and they still aren't sure where it came from, or where it is, but they are looking for it. Its hard to dispute hard numbers, so they tend to be powerful evidence.
If people go to prison over their Epstein crimes, it will be about the money, not salacious photographs or emails.
Also because it's far easier to justify suspending democratic processes by pointing at an ongoing military crisis and making emergency laws.
We've never cancelled an election, not even during the first Civil War, so we will NEVER accept any excuses for cancelling elections, not military actions, not civil unrest, not nothin'.
So please don't even hint that there is a scenario that would be acceptable to suspend elections. That is a BRIGHT RED LINE that can NEVER be crossed. That violates our Constitutional/ Social Contract to a fatal degree, signalling the end of American Democracy, and the start of Civil War.
Just to point out what I'm talking about: https://lemmy.world/post/41255505
Let's hope he doesn't actually pull that off
Good. Let's hope that conviction is never put to the test, but I wouldn't put it past him to try.
