A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

the same country that gave ERIC ADAMS A fast tracked passport , so that adams can escape the us incase he gets prosecuted,.
lol, of course he bought it from a drug trafficking fraudster.
Did Kush just get swindled in a classic land scam?
Bro! I swear, I got this island and I'll sell it to you for cheap. Only $200 million!
Maybe he knew and bet it would go through.
That's not how scams go...
This is the trashiest timeline. Will the trash tide ever go out?
I don't believe so. The elites do not know how to do anything but make the conditions for fascism worse.
The only thing that could save us would be a revolution and a "tabula rasa" strategy or a (non bloody) purge of most elites. A return to sanity and massive reform. But people are so indoctrinated with propaganda that they would perceive that as authoritarianism and suppression of the free press and tankyism. So no, it's impossible. The solution is (gradual) collapse.
Maybe!
But things will absolutely not go back to normal. We're going to be spending the rest of our lives cleaning up the beach, and the generation that can start rebuilding better isn't even born yet.
MAGA has destroyed so much, that the opportunity to rebuild America the proper way, is the silver lining to the MAGA destruction, if the Dems have the spine to do it.
Dems
spine
I think I can see the problem here...
Even if they're 100% gung-ho, it's not going to happen for years if not decades. Trump's proteges have worked their way into every single government agency at every level like a cancer. We are 50 years away from excising them all.
Would it be hilarious or no if this ends up being what started WWIII?
Right now?
No.
In a podcast 50 years later?
Yes, very.
The underground radiation troll mutants will be literally laughing their asses off.
