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.

No sympathy for her, because she pretended not to know anything until someone else told everyone.
If she had blew the whistle as soon as she found out it woupd be one thing.
But she covered for child rapists until everyone else found out, and now is legit trying to pass it off as "crazy, right?"
If she knew and kept her mouth shut for whatever reason, then she's an accessory at least after the fact
Fuck all these billionaires who think the rules don't apply to them and their friends.
She also had a big hand in fucking up the American school system for decades.
Stupid rich people used their wealth to purchase politicians and override the opinions of professional educators.
The rules apply to them? I'm yet to be shown otherwise.
You've never died either...
If you think that means you're immortal, than you have consistent logic, but none of us should be listening to you...
The rules apply to them, it's just no one is enforcing them. And since the oligarchs lost the DNC last year when the voting members finally picked a non-neoliberal chair, there's not going to be anyone that can stop a progressive Dem from winning the primary, then the general, then actually enforcing the rules on the oligarchs
If you've never died, does that make you immortal....that's the wrong thought exercise.
This is more like "a tree falls in the forest".
If the rules aren't enforced against them, then they absolutely do not apply to them.
This is a serious problem, when all three branches of government, are occupied by the trees. They need to be shown consequence, and it may have to be by hatchet, axe, and saw.
It's cute that you think we will have elections in November, or that they will be free and fair.
It isn't cute, it's terrifying.
It's not really a pedantic thing, but it kind of is.
The rules apply, if they didn't they wouldn't still give a fuck. They'd be having Epstein parties on the South lawn for everyone to see. If for no other reason than doing it in the open is more extreme than doing it in secret.
Currently consequences do not apply, because they're not being held accountable.
But the rules do, or else they wouldn't be hiding it. You think it's shame that's keeping trump from admitting all this shit? He's afraid because there's still a chance that consequences could show up, because the rules do still apply. They're just not being enforced at this moment in time that's not as long and ending as you seem to believe
Sorry, not interested.
That's a distinction without a difference.
You were doing so well, until
Plus, she married a billionaire, not a saint. What did she expect?
Pretty sure he wasn't a billionaire when they met.
Love at first sight.
Presumably $1.25 billy in 1987 dollars.
C’mon. She didn’t marry him for his famously abrasive personality.
