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.
-
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 10/19
-
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.

Still think any of that is going to happen?
I do. He will lose power. It WILL happen. It takes awhile to organize millions of people, but they are being organized, the protests have had an effect, Legal battle lines are being drawn with higher universities, etc... the slow roll of mobilization is happening and is gaining momentum. millions demonstrated last weekend, though the media barely talks about it. There will be encampments and other big protests set up. It is in the planning. from what I hear just don't want it top end like occupy wall street. it has to be more organized, more united.
The magic word is time. It sucks. its slow, and its the master. But the time is also coming when the protests and organized institutions all reach a critical mass that the illegal administration cannot shout through. That's when he will go to trial.
In two weeks , the container ships coming into the United states drops from over 20, to 12. That's a huge hit to the supply lines and economy of the U.S. A hit to the food supplies , and the cash flow. those are the two that matter. think about what his support will be then.
This is going to be my most downvoted comment, but please stop with the exaggeration designed to make people irrational. This administration is not "illegal", it isn't like a fucking dictator that you need to conquer. All you need to do is win the next election, which from what I've seen from the burgerreich will be very easy. This revolutionary mindset has thoroughly infected this social network.
You aren't going to be "black bagged", there is no gestapo killing people for corporations, you aren't Katniss Everdeen fighting against the Capitol. You are a Lemmy user who thinks that the entire world is against you.
You're literally commenting on a post about someone being blackbagged.
Youngster. You are in for a very, very rude awakening.
No one is making any of those claims. You don't know the staggering amount. If things you don't know. And that is sad.
I wish you a good day
