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.

I know things were pretty fucked - I haven't been a lifelong cynic for no reason - but still, it's amazing how quickly snd completely the US has descended into screeching insanity.
And all at the hands of this demented lunatic, his psychopathic enablers and his legions of angry and stupid followers.
What a world....
Not even the end of Y1
That's the most astonishing part of it to me.
Reality has gone completely off the rails. Virtually every day, I read another account of blithering insanity, and painfully obviously dangerous and destructive insanity, from this administration, and then I watch as all of the official entities that are meant to check that sort of insanity just treat it as another day and another press release from another President's office.
It's like The Emperor's New Clothes, only far far worse.
And all in less than a year...
People still doubling down on their actions in 24, not acknowledging that those very actions led to the orange idiot being elected. Again.
As long as there is no acknowledgement, we can expect a repeat of the very same in 28, possibly with the literal devil on the other side, while the voters smugly criticize the minutae of the more sensible candidate and sit it out.
Sometimes you put yourself aside in the interest of the country.
Oh look - it's the DNC Defense Force, here to get an early start on guilt-tripping leftists who won't vote for whichever shitty center right neolib hack the DNC will likely end up trying to foist on the voters at the behest of their corporate donors.
Fuck that. It's not the voters' responsibility to vote for a piece of shit just because they stink a little bit less than the other piece of shit - it's the DNC's responsibility to run candidates people actually want to vote for. And when they can't (or more accurately won't) even do that, then they and nobody else are responsible for the consequences.
And this is how we got to Trump, the other side acts like psychos but at least they have kind of a coherent football team mentality going on, even if they're fucking ignorant racist sons of bitches. They don't focus on the minutia of how they disagree with each other at every turn and spew vitriol and divide themselves like this. Nobody fucking hates the other factions on the left like a lefty. We are all so fractured and individual it's a fucking joke. Like herding fucking cats, buddy. We should be able to use the anger from this moment to unite, but none of us can even decide what the fuck we should be uniting around. Meanwhile violent sociopathic pedophiles can corral enough morons to crash their way into the capitol whenever they want. We all have lofty ideals about the best possible form of government and the people to staff that government, but in order to have an operational government you have to have a team of people who are united. We can't even agree on the morality of violence, much less point of finger in the direction we should go from here. Fucking frustrating homies.
Oh and....
The fact that this whole norion of a lack of lefty unity is complete bullshit was neatly demonstrated by leftist voters coming together to overwhelmingly support Zohran Mamdani.
And who didn't support him? The fucking establishment neolib hacks - the exact same people who keep fucking us over by putting up shitty candidates then trying to guilt trip leftists into voting for them. We finally got a candidate we wanted and they couldn't even be arsed to endorse him.
Enjoy the next 3 then. It's not even what I'm implying. In fact, I'm positive you will - the fact that the two comments above sound the same tell me all I need to know.
At least flip your scripts once in a while.
Supporting genocide is not fucking "minutia."
oh look, another votescold so thoroughly convinced that everything would have been fine if only everyone followed their campaign strategy, that they're literally blaming anti-fascists for fascism. How about blaming actual fascists instead?
Ok, I'll take the non raping, non narcissist, non child abusing, non twice impeached, non trying to save his fat lardy ass, non looking to use the office to take revenge on anyone and anything he disagrees with one, thanks.
