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.

MODERATORS
Now I want to go to a dog show.
What about the ponies? Are you a ponyphobe or something?
The sad thing is most ponyphobes actually turn out to be ponies themselves
Self loathing ponies?
Which global government enforces international law? Ah that’s right, there is none. Might as well say it violates galactic or universal law.
People follow it by agreement and the idea is they face sanctions if they don't. It's unlikely America will face direct sanctions. However they are unlikely to find many friendly partners moving forward. The more heinous acts, the less other countries can overlook it.
It's not just USA. The more countries that skirt international law, the more others also do the same and the less others listen to America. Putin doesn't care about international law when invading Ukraine. Then china stops caring about consequences for invading Taiwan etc.
It's stuff like this that makes the international community more afraid of Trump. The grifting and grafting is an internal problem. The fascism is a humanity problem. The breakdown in rule of law is a global problem.
Not to mention that israel been breaching all international laws since it's creation in 48
And how much of that has been enabled by US backing?
Before the USA, it was enabled by the British. Also all those western countries quickly recognized israel after terrorists attacks by zionists like King David hotel bombing and the nekba ethenic cleansing while today they have ton of conditions to effectively on the ground to back up a two state solution without even palestinians right to an army
I'm calling the vulcans
This timeline they've already been through the system and saw our broadcasts. Guess who is on the "Do Not Contact" list for the warp capable group?
That's exactly how it plays out. No first contact until 2063. Except there's been a really ugly nuclear war already by that time.
We have to go through the Bell Riots, the Eugenics Wars, and WWIII, before the Vulcans will show their pointy little ears.
Well we're on track for sanctuary districts
Maybe if someone lets Miss Universe know she can send the message on.
Should have him arrested next time he steps outside the Untied States
I would pay good money for this
Think of the ratings this would get, uyge, tremendous ratings like you’ve never seen before.
So declare him a war criminal, and arrest him anytime he leaves America.
That's why George W Bush can't leave the country. He's wanted everywhere in the world as a war criminal.
I say go tit for tat and just put a bounty on his head, since hes so comfortable doing that to other heads of state
They aren't wanted, although it might be a better world if they were https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2014/jul/17/facebook-posts/are-george-w-bush-dick-cheney-unable-visit-europe-/
He's not.
PLEASE!
Feel free to arrest and indict the fucking orange bastard
Of course and the International Criminal Court start a case.
ICC doesn’t have authority over the US because they don’t recognize it.
Doesn't it? I am pretty sure they have authority over everyone. US and other non signatories just do not have to hand them over. But if they ever visit a signatory state, they should be arrested.
In theory, they do, but the US not only doesn't recognise the authority of the ICC, they have provisions for a military invasion of the Hague/Netherlands if a member of the US armed forces is tried in the ICC.
The sane 1st World countries recognize it and he can still be prosecuted.
All those western countries who was saying israel has to defend itself. Why are you not saying Venezuela has the right to defend itself?
Venezuela can't defend itself against the US. The US has been very good at keeping South America in check. They are basically all vassals to the US. The moment someone gets out of line the CIA shows up for regime change.
The white elephant in the room is the US military holding the entire world hostage.
The US is the premier terrorist state in the world.
I don't think venezuela has a choice. The usa is already trying to do the coup
Doesn’t apply to countries that won’t allow American corporations to exploit their people and natural resources
What is the UN going to do about it? Israel can wipe out an entire population, murder is lagalized
Aipac/russia has control over the US , uk and some of the EU govt.
Issue an international arrest warrant for the entire administration please. They are literally manufacturing another Native American genocide and we need the world to help us stop this madness.
The UN needs an army or at least a sanctioning body that can do real things.
The army would just be an arm of its strongest members to ensure they stay the strongest.
Can the UN even do anything to the United States if they have a unilateral security council veto? I would think that the USA would successfully find a way to argue that sanctioning them for crimes against humanity is not considered a "procedural" decision.
Can the UN even do anything
no
to the United States
gods no
if they have a unilateral security council veto?
the "don't do that" button does, quite effectively, prevent the UN from doing anything, and for some godforsaken reason 5 countries all have one
successfully find a way to argue
they don't need to do that, that's what the "don't do that" button is for
Someone stop this Shittler
its like calling the israeli expansion into gaza unacceptable, but nothing is being done.
countries need to start making treaties about military spending and isolate ones that spend over an agreed upon maximum plus have checks for hidden spending.
