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.

If the democrats win as well as we're expecting they COULD take down billionaires and mass media propaganda machines that's behind all these right-wing movements...but I'm betting they won't. They probably won't abolish ICE, they won't stuff the supreme court, they won't cut off Israel, they won't roll back the insane power of the POTUS and executive branch, etc, etc.
This country is fucked for a generation at least, or as long as this two party government remains intact.
Y'all keep saying democrats as if democrats are one unified party.
its not.
Its 37 parties in a trench coat.
Thats the problem with the democrats. Its basically a Chimera built out of everything thats not-republican, and thats down largely to our two party system of bullshit.
Yeah controlled opposition tends not to bite the hand that feeds.
You dont understand how the American two party system works. Let me explain it in simple terms.
You have one party that is corporate light; that's the democrats. And you have another party that's corporate get fucked in the arse; that's the Republicans.
Both parties serve their corporate masters first and foremost before any consideration of the common man. Neither party will challenge this status quo in any meaningful way. The difference is that one is willing to be a little more giving than the other fiscally.
But the reality is that the entire political process is captured by vested financial interests that own politicians and work together so that over the long term it all gets shitter and shitter for the common people and they get richer and richer.
The only way out of this is to primary every politician in the democratic party that have any financial ties to the elites. To money.
That's most of them.
stuffing the supreme court is a pretty controversial thing although now more popular given republicans messed with court picks to get us were we are. Many democrats are not fine using trumps "methods" in a good way and want to still abide by the constitution and law. I know foks completely against trump but are not sure about actually abolishing ice. I point out they had not even existed before but they point out border control is kinda worse and that would result in border patrol fulfilling their role. keeping in mind their role was not so controversial before trump.
They have their own funders, and you'll be upset when you find out who they are. (Hint: it's the same people, give or take a few)
