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.
-
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.
-
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.

Clown governor getting the standard Trump pimp slap.
This man is never going to be president if Donald Trump can bully him so easily
Newsom would be a categorically awful pick for president. Being better than orangeboi is a very, very low bar.
And this of course also assumes we’re still having elections at that point - let alone this year.
He blocked RCV so forever on my naughty list
Oh no, the guy who hates the homeless, trans, and podcasts with Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro might not be president?
It's almost worse than him hating homeless and trans people. He doesn't give a single shit about them. He'll do whatever he thinks will get him votes. He'll talk shit about trans people one day and talk about how he wants to protect them the next. I'm convinced that he doesn't have a single belief that he wouldn't give up to be the Democratic nominee in 2028, if we even have elections then. Nothing that comes out of his mouth is worth listening to.
Exactly, the problem isn't even what he has give up to be the nominee and win, it's what he's going to do once he's in office and doesn't have to pretend to appease voters. He's basically JD Vance with mask on and better PR
No idea why you're being downvoted. Likely the Liberal Mob with the "he's better than what we've got" mentality.
Newsom might be good at trolling Trump, but he's a garbage Neolib dick-weasel.
I think Newsom has a mob that idolises seeing him do theatrical owns of MAGA and confuses that with having a plan or substance and I think they see criticism of that as not fighting enough against MAGA
I don't know how you see his soundbites at Davos and don't notice they are for domestic US voters and have no substance besides a performative campaign akin to Trump's strongman
I like to refer to the folks that believe in him (and people like him) as Blue MAGA.
Don't forget BlueAnon too. The people currently arguing with me in a separate post about how we shouldn't be complaining about all the inaction from Democrats because now's not the right time to act and they've totally got some 4D chess move planned for the future - COMING SOON®™
Those owns are fun and good, but they're not Newsome. His Twitter lady can just go work for a good candidate. He himself is worthless.
I’m not a fan of Gavin since he’s just a run of the mill neoliberal, but I think it’s silly to characterize this as his getting bullied, the USA House was the one that caved in this instance.
I would argue that this strengthens his campaign. Puts him in the spotlight more than if he had spoken.
Imagining you saying this while wearing a big "Pokemon Go To The Polls" T-shirt
Strengths? Like not being Trump and what else?
No, you got them all.
He's gonna save America from Trump! I can smell the "liberating" narratives already, lol. Then shit will continue going down the drain and the Confederates/Republicans/Conservatives/MAGA will be upset and in some years you'll have an already popular MAGA dude run for president and win, and it goes on and on. Maybe the Democrats will sprinkle some seasoning and have a brown "Muslim" dude or black woman president then, which will only annoy racist MAGA even more, making the next Republican candidate very popular and etc.
That’s what we do best! Cycles so cyclical ouroboros is jealous
As long as Trump gets comeuppance I don't care who does it.
What do you want him to do, force himself in to speak? I’m not a fan of the guy but I don’t understand what he’s supposed to do here
You still haven’t articulated how he’s the one being bullied and not USA house, but ok.
