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.

I’m betting they kidnap some players during the World Cup
The US getting knocked out in the group stage will be a huge let down for the god emperor. US must always win no matter what.
The US is heading out of the door of the civilised world.
Until they get universal healthcare they haven’t ever been part of the civilized world as far as I’m concerned. It doesn’t even have to be that good, it just has to be not completely absent(the ACA does not do enough to redeem the rest).
That happened last year bud
Last year? Not, like, constantly prior to that?
One ICE officer can be heard responding by threatening to “grab” the staffer
JFC - didn't these goons ever watch Lethal Weapon 2? Consulate staff would literally have diplomatic immunity - AND a diplomatic visa. They're not immigrants, they're diplomats.
Ecuador should send their military into the US embassy in Quito and see how it goes for everyone involved and watch how quickly the whining and importance of international law comes back.
So DHS really didn’t teach the new hires anything useful. Got it.
What makes you think these are new hires? The guy who shot Renee Good was an 8 year veteran of ICE. They removed all the guard rails and all of are acting with impunity.
That's where you're wrong. They taught them a lot of useful things (for them). They just didn't teach them what's legal or not. In fact, they explicitly taught them to do many illegal things.
I said useful. How is doing illegal things useful?
Useful for them.
Do you think thievery isn't useful to the thief? Usually the phrase "legality is not morality" is required, but I guess this time it's "legality is not utility." It being legal has no bearing on it being useful or not.
It's useful to your owners.
Literally true.
He saw a building full of unfettered brown people and got a fascist boner. Thought he'd get a whole bus full of potential bonuses and they had the gall to stop him! He'll yell at a weaker white person tonight to feel better.
The State Department, Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Of course they didn't.
Motherfuckers.
Please, please let them try to assault a Latin American embassy only to be met with a hail of (accurate) gunfire. ICE thinks they have qualified immunity? They would find out real quick what absolute immunity looks like.
Consulate. Not embassy. Probably not nearly as well protected.
Vance said absolute, not qualified. Even more bananas. I remember reading children's books about government that would have been enough to realize this isnt how shit is supposed to work. Fucks sake.
Video posted here:

It looks like someone with a backpack was trying to get away from them in the very first second of the video.
Before they claim to have smelled smoke and valiantly battled the fire with a hail of bullets.
