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.

I'm pretty sure Kamala, being a private citizen and not the president, has nothing to do with the deportations taking place in America right now.
I'd check who the current president is and assign blame to him.
checks who the current president is
How could the democrats let this happen?!?
Who helped the recent spending bill pass again?
Are deportations part of the spending bill or are you moving the goal post?
Fine you want deportation specific? Democrats rubber stamped the Laken Riley act, fuck you.
My point was Democrats are literally working lockstep with Republicans and you're too much a blue MAGAt to care.
I love your passion, but I'm just a dude thousands of miles away, eating popcorn and laughing in your general direction.
sure, if you wanna do a dog-shit ahistorical analysis of what lead to this, you could place the blame entirely on Trump.
do you seriously expect us to ignore the direct parallel between the Democrats adopting fascist rhetoric and deportations and the social Democrats in Germany adopting AfD propaganda in their program?
you either didn't pay attention when she threw us under the bus to win the fascist electorate or You actively cheered her on as she was doing it. same for her being a rabid Zionist.
Agreed. The Democrats started this Mcarthyist witchhunt about Hamas supporting students and anti Zionism is anti semitism baloney. Thanks to them the Republicans were gifted with a ready made clampdown on civil rights.
Also, seems like you haven't heard of Rufo and similar Republican propagandists
Pretty sure most of those university board members are conservative
nah you right
Are you okay?
As a trans person in this timeline obviously they’re not okay, are you doing anything to make the situation better for them in any possible way? If not better lose the snarkiness
Ah sorry, I didn’t realize being trans gives you a free pass for spreading political propaganda but I know better now.
Actually I think it’s kind of patronizing to say that trans people just can’t help themselves from posting shit like that because of their circumstances.
Trans people probably can't help themselves from responding to Democrat apologia when most of the things Trump is doing were first legitimized by Democrats either in speech or action.
Okay buddy, American far left accelerationists working hand in hand with the alt right to dismantle democracy will never not be funny from an outside perspective.
You’re beginning to see the regime you brought on but instead of owning up to it, you blame it on milquetoast technocrats like Kamala Harris lmao.
Ahhh yes it's the far left that's working hand in hand with the fascists not the Democrats who are currently rubber stamping things like Trump's cabinet picks, the Laken Riley act, and even the recent spending bill that just barley managed to limp over the edge thanks to, you guessed, the Democrats!
You're actually just blue MAGA, you somehow make fun of Red Hats for still blaming Biden for everything while blaming the boogyman leftist for your parties failures.
It'd be hilarious how you people think you're so different from Republicans if I didn't have to deal with the reality of your representatives working with fascists to dismantle OUR rights.
Lmao, you were presented with a classic trolley problem and you failed it. Now it’s everyone’s fault but yours. Good luck in the impending fascist regime, I’m sure boycotting Kamala was worth it!
I appreciate that you're unable to refute any of what I said, doubled down on blaming others, and assumed my vote all in one message. Even more on brand of you doing all that with a condescending tone.
You do nothing productive other then vote for your team, point fingers at everyone when you fail, and are unwilling, or more likely unable, to engage with anything that doesn't fit your world view or threatens to scrutinize it.
You truly are a Republican with a blue badge, bravo.
Edit: they continue to prove every point I make lol
Enjoy fascism! 🫶
So unable to. Thanks for verifying.
Edit: still unable
There is nothing to refute you dumbfuck ameritard. If you think Democrats are just as worse as Trump Republicans then you deserve everything that’s coming.
Aha so you're German! Think of the US Democrats as the social Democrats who signed off on the enabling act in your home country. Hopefully you're not too retarded for that comparison.
Also the irony of saying enjoy fascism as your country deports legal citizens for protesting Israel lol
Except that they’re making perfect sense and you’re simply calling it political propaganda because it doesn’t fit into your world view. There’s nothing to patronize because it’s a perfectly sane take, you’re the one trying to gaslight us here.
Alright buddy, good luck in life!
