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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

Now that the Dems won EVERYTHING, by WIDE margins, it is clear that the Dems have the upper hand. Here's what they should do now with the power they just took back:
Double down on the shutdown, and demand even more concessions. Nothing less than full compliance will be sufficient. Otherwise, we'll see where we are a year from now.
Adopt a true progressive agenda. What happened to these MAGA Traitors is going to happen to MAGA-appeasing Democrats, too.
Primary every weak Democrat - Schmuck Schumer, Jeffries, etc. They are almost as much the enemy as MAGA. If they lose, we get stronger, and if they win, they'll know they dodged a bullet, and they better get with the new PROGRESSIVE program.
Force their hand on everything. Make them reject even reasonable Democratic and Progressive demands. Don't let them off the hook for anything, then use it against them viciously in the Midterms.
Meanwhile pundits on CNN is calling this a 'warning lesson'. Anderson Cooper and crowd fear mongering even through victory.
For the next year, Progressives are dealing from a position of strength, and the Democrats, and especially the MAGAs, are in the defensive position.
The Establishment Dems will pretend they are all for it, but we know the real truth, and they will be doing everything they can to foil any Progressive gains.
MAGA has a choice - either ease up and get in step with where the CITIZENS of this country are going, or crack down hard on this budding Resistance.
They are as fucking stupid as stupid gets, so they will definitely choose #2. For the next year, expect them to be more oppressive than ever, and try to engineer some excuse to declare Martial Law, and suspend the Midterm elections.
No election has ever been cancelled in American history, not even during the Civil War. If he tries that, his administration becomes officially illegitimate, and every person who occupies a leadership position in the MAGA government should be declared a national security threat, and sent to the new 30,000 bed facility they are building there.
Oh, you don't know about that? Oh, yeah, construction is underway at Guantanamo Bay on the biggest detention facility in America, about 20 times larger than the average maximum security prison, and far from the prying eyes of the courts or the media. They clearly intend to lock up a lot of people, and since it isn't scheduled to be finished around 2029, I suspect they intend to use it to house all the citizens who will protest his third term, which he will win with 98% of the vote.
And the Establishment Dems will declare the election "Fair & Square," even as their own voters are all locked up on a hostile foreign island.
Snapping my fingersssss
If I had a nickel for every time someone told the Dems to adopt a truly progressive agenda and it not really happening I could retire.
Our system is incompatible with radical change.
