A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Crude has climbed back toward $110, but the bigger problem may be further down the supply chain. Tight diesel inventories, refinery disruptions and changing trade routes are forcing Western governments to balance energy security against sanctions, affordability and supply.

No shit...
The Russian deal is literally just till the election, Trump's doing everything possible to hide reality from voters, but it's not gonna be enough.
Republicans just won't turnout for this election, or likely the next one.
They're an obstruction party, so actually having control is like a dog catching a mail truck...
There's nothing for them to do, so they give up. It's only fun when they're trying to catch it, not after they catch it.
Progressives on the other hand get more motivated the more they win, without neoliberals sandbagging the DNC were most likely at the beginning of a generational snowball.
I would normally agree, but this time around the Republicans really went as far as they could in the direction of enshittification. I can barely recognize the same country of ten years ago!
Because the only other option was Biden and he kept making shit even shittier...
The neoliberals shuffling his corpse around no longer have control of the national party, and are losing the states they still control.
That problem was solved already, people are getting things to vote for, and we're already seeing it payoff all over. It's not gonna change unless oligarchs convince people that voting is useless when it matters now more than ever: because voters are picking candidates instead of the party.
Please don't assume this! Like people assumed Hillary would suuuurely win over the joke of a candidate that Trump was in 2016.
Go and vote!
That was only people not paying attention, and people who thought repeating something enough would make it true.
Everyone should always vote.
Being informed and voting is better, and you don't need to say "go vote" every time an election is brought up, especially not in online forums devoted to politics.
Yes, please do. While Lemmy-Americans seem likely to vote, and to vote against fascism, it’s taking things for granted that lose elections
This time around it’s extra-important. Too many people only vote in presidential elections and skip the years without. However it’s critical to put the brakes on fascism. Everyone needs to vote
No...
But I can block you and you can follow me around saying it so that everyone that needs everything constantly and explicitly told to them can see it.
Better tell them to breathe, eat, and go to the bathroom too.
Otherwise how will they ever know it's important when reading any of my comments about politics?
I mean, I know that sounds sarcastic, but surely you're not the only one who needs everything clearly stated.
Be the change you want to be.
There is no Russian deal. No Russian diesel will ever be shipped to the US, at least not directly or as part of any specific deal. Trump just did the populist thing and told people a lie they wanted to hear.
