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. 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 10/19
-
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.

Jon Stewart made a joke about how dems keep saying the right-wing “fever” is going to break. He showed clips all the way back to Obama.
DOGE gutting the goverment and randomly firing tens of thousands of people. Social Security at risk. The VA at risk. The Department of Education - dead. The stock market in correction territory. Consumer confidence down. People protesting at Tesla stores. Children dying of preventable diseases. Massive crowds showing up for AOC and Sanders. At war with our allies as we randomly deport people...
Checks approval polling for Trump - 49%
Nah, Texas makes too much money. Oklahoma maybe
Yeah, no. American oil might not be the biggest money these days, but if he nuked Oklahoma there would be some really pissed off oil tycoons.
On further thought, dump is absolutely dumb enough to be tricked into doing this by the rat selling it as some kind of short sale scheme and becoming the fall guy.
The stuff you mentioned only matters if people know how to vote in their own best interest, and they don't. All the Tesla protesters and the AOC crowds likely voted Democrat anyways. Nobody's mind has changed.
I think that can start to change in the coming months. On April 2 Trump's full tariffs are going into effect. There will be a retaliatory response from the whole world. But make no mistake. If the election were held again today Trump would still win.
The Onion likely did it first. Regardless it’s funny either way.
When Trump can run an ad about giving sex changes to prisoners, to then place them in a female prison, you realize there needs to be a shift towards what the average person actually wants.
Inclusively is nice, but we instead have a guy dismantling everything.
Trump claimed "they're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs" live on national TV and it didn't make a difference, he could run an ad about Democrats being void monsters from beyond the abyss and the average person would go with it.
Oh come on not this "oh the Democrats lost because they're too woke" nonsense again.
Yeah, it's not a fever, it's more like a reversion to our primitive mean. That being said, actually doing things they have to defend is what made fascism uncool the first time.
He even went all the way back to the 90s
The WALLS are CLOSING IN on him!
