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.

Fuckin hell, this guy
“I would like to make a deal, you know, the easy way. But if we don’t do it the easy way, we’re going to do it the hard way,” Trump said at the White House.
The Art of the Deal: shoot them and take all their stuff.
Art of the steal
Art of the kill
Many have outlined Trump's mafia-style speech. Like the truly wealthy, the mafia is a group he admires, was never allowed into, wants to imitate.
It's so clear I want to scream. The US watched the man make a fool of himself in the 80s and 90s, he was tabloid trash. Even The Apprentice made fun of his bombastic nature, but apparently neither Trump not his fans were in on the joke.
Unlike ICE, the mafia has recruiting standards.
How many children in the 1980s were acutely aware of Trump? I imagine very few. You're talking about people who were in their twenties and older in the 1980s. And if you were 25 in 1984, you were 65 in 2024. A lot of the electorate is simply too young to remember Trump in his 1980s incarnation. And while older voters do vote at higher rates, the difference is massively overblown.
You just described me. I've known he was an insufferable putz since the 80s. By the 90s, I was seeing articles in the NY Times about money laundering for the Russian Mob. I was shocked they'd give him a reality show, but that's bar is extremely low.
Looking back from the perspective of a Millennial or younger, I realize that the first time they really saw him was when Mark Burnett decided to polish his image on The Apprentice, and make him campaign ready. They only saw a carefully crafted hologram of him, and his re-brand worked.
I've had people tell me that I'm stupid for not knowing that Trump has always been the "King of NYC," and they still LOVE him there. I laugh whenever I hear that, because I'm a New Yorker-in-law, and I've been visiting and living in NYC for decades, and I know first hand that NYers despise him intensely. I've never heard a real New Yorker say anything good about him. New Yorkers have ALWAYS had a special, deeply-rooted hatred for him.
He was a showman in The Apprentice, isn't that enough to disqualify him as the unserious, self-centered and money hungry person he is? Nvm rapey, pedo, racist, etc etc. America is just a country of stupid lost souls, that's all.
He's just saying out loud what has been American policy since the day pilgrims landed, man.
"I'm gonna make ya an offah ya can't refuse"
