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.
-
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.

What an incredibly loaded editorial with no actual references or citations. Did you write that shit? No, it's older than you probably are. Opposing early parole isn't keeping prisoners as slaves or whatever the fuck nonsense you said. Your shit is weak.
Where are your references and citations if you feel those are important? You've simply stated that he's wrong and attacked the source but can't seem to provide any evidence to the contrary other than your emotions.
Because the editorial was sensationalist garbage not worth a response. What the guy said is basically a lie. People vocally opposed an early parole system. Ruspublican agitprop screamed they were refusing to release prisoners for work programs. None of that was true. I'm not gonna debunk obvious bullshit that's already been addressed and debunked. Ain't my job to tell you the sky is blue and not red when any asshole can plainly see it's blue.
So you're saying you can't source any of this and we should just believe you because it's not worth your effort to respond to despite this being at least your third response on the topic and sources don't matter anymore when it's your turn to provide one because it's "common knowledge."
I've read through all the replies here and not a single one has been able to provide any information apart from "thats not true!!1!" which usually indicates a bunch of people making emotional arguments. You feel that every Democrat is good and above reproach and if anyone says otherwise that makes you feel bad therefore it must be a lie.
Prove it's true first. You can't because it isn't.
