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.

Lol. People thought the dem candidate was somehow a worse prospect.
But she was a lady, and black, and laughed, how could that have gone well...
If Democrats want to win elections, they need to run candidates that care about the working class.
Running on a platform of "deficit spending" is not enough. They need to raise taxes on the people taking us for a ride.
Of course! She would have started a war for greenland, hunted lgbt people and immigrants, and annexed mexico too! Without congessional approval!
Waiter! Ill have what the other guy is smoking!
If that stuff really matters to you, then you should encourage Democrats to support the working class so they don't lose elections.
Ya. You said that to the other guy too.
Yes. Most of you still don't get it which is why Democrats keep losing to Donald Trump.
Because trump cares so much about the working class. Right. Way to explain your point.
You can keep repeating the same mistakes expecting different results and Republicans will continue to win elections. Or, you can learn from your mistakes and do something differently. Democrats use social issues to distract from fiscal ones, and people like you fall for it consistently.
Stop being part of the problem if you genuinely want to stop Republicans. What you're currently doing is not working.
I dont have to repeat shit. It took just one bad move on the part of the sitouts to get us here. So while youre waiting on your ideal progressive candidate, the adults are trying to get things back to a manageable state. Then youre welcome to talk to me about changing stuff. Otherwise stfu or bend over and take trump like everyone else.
Ok. Hope you like JD Vance as president.
How much you wanna bet that guy will vote for Gavin Newsom.
I wouldn't vote for him in the primary. But if Newsome wins the primary, I will absolutely hold my nose and vote for him, just like I did with Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. To vote any other way, come Nov 2028, is to guarantee 4 more R years, and if you would do differently you're not a serious person.
Everything.
Good for you! Enjoy your trump outcome then. Or do something about it other than venting to another internet nobody. Dumb american voters brought this on the world. They deserve every bit of ridicule they get.
This is a repulsive comment thread all around.
you mean the one who openly said she would keep on bombing gaza?
In this case, it doesn't really matter.
Kamala is an Israeli puppet as well.
You're fucking delusional if you think she would have just randomly bombed Iran too
There's nothing random about it.
How so?
Biden and Harris went along with child genocide and a state-engineered famine. They would 100% bomb Iran if Benny told them to.
No they didn't. They still supported Israel, but they were making statements about tempering Israel's approach. As Israel got worse and worse under trump's encouragement, I'm pretty sure a democrat (or anyone sane) would have pushed back a lot more on Israel. Not enough, probably. But better is better.
Actions speak louder than words.
Absolutely. But diplomacy starts with words and it sometimes works. We don't know what would have happened next if trump hadn't fucked everything ten times over. We know trump actively encouraged the genocide, so it's a significant difference.
LOL, they made statements about Israel's approach for four years... but supported every single thing those murderers did. Their words are meaningless because when Benny tells them to jump, they jump.
And when Benny told them to bomb Iran, they'd have done it.
Obviously, you can't know that, so you are just making things up to fit your world view. But whatever, if you're happy with the destruction trump allowed on Gaza, I can't help you. Good luck.
I love how Democrats suddenly pretend to care about these things once leadership changes.
All I heard from you for four years were excuses for genocide.
I haven't seen anything like the current actions before in Israel. Previous to the Oct attack response, the only significant calls for genocide in the area came from Muslims. Israel treated people in Gaza terribly, and illegally kept expanding their settlements. But it was nothing like any conventional use of the word 'genocide' would be. Things changes throughout '24, but it was a slow transition and with all the lies on both sides, it wasn't clear until the end of December how much Isreal had gone off the deep end. And then trump came into power and encouraged them and it got significantly worse. So I'm not sure where your 'years of excuses' comes from because it doesn't fit the actual timeline.
Yes but Kamala surely would have stood up to her employer and demanded they stop using the US government to kill Arabs! Trust me, bro, please!
