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.

Thing is, it reeks of being a setup, manufacture a scandal to distract and one of their most used cards is the misogynist one, whatever she or her government is criticised for is dismissed because "it's because she is a woman so you attack her because you are sexist".
You telling me someone managed to get that close in the middle of a crowd and the security did basically shit when she has never ever got close enough to anyone unless they are getting paid for it? Sorry, not buying it.
Also they are yelling "foul" because she has actively weakened and destroyed instances that should be protecting women, has berated and insulted civil organisations dedicated to the protection of women and is actively protecting pedophiles and rapists inside her own party, you can't play that card if you are part of them.
What are you on about here
What you just read, she never gets close to anyone, there's always a chain, a wall, she's on a platform or something, even during disasters she never goes to where the people are.
The only times she does is when it's something organised by her party so the access to those who can get close to her are their own people and those who were promised some spare change to cheer for her.
Contrary to what the propaganda from lemmy might have fed you, she and her party are hated, that's why they are always overprotected and only appear in front of a controlled audience; this incident happened during a time when a small group is building up asking for people to organise and get them out of power before they remove more of our rights. So the news come here and tell me she, who never does this, did it, and somehow her security allowed someone to get that close from behind and grope her without thinking some angry citizen might take the chance to get her out of the picture? Ok, sure.
And the news say the opposition is yelling foul because this is a smokescreen... But omitted reminding everyone how the opposition said she keeps shielding pedophiles and rapists in her party and stepping on other women's rights (both statements being true).
I'm not sorry I can't bite the hook anymore, nor feel bad for someone who keeps taking every mexican's rights away and shitting all over what real feminism is only to use it as a shield when it's convenient.
