I will never, for the life of me, ever understand why anyone would ever care about the skin color of a person willing to risk their own life for another person's safety.

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.

Hey, America. Could you like... Fuck off?
Of course the locals are pissed. Those soldiers died to help free them from fascists and today's fascists spit on them. A lot of US soldiers are buried on European soil and many of graves are cared for by locals as thanks for their sacrifice. Fucking pathetic from the Trump regime.
After months of mystery around the disappearance of the panels, two media organizations — the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) and online media Dutch News — this month published emails obtained through a U.S. Freedom of Information Act request showing that Trump’s DEI policies directly prompted the commission to take down the panels
Earlier this year, the US ambassador said the signs were "on rotation". I'm completely unsurprised that was a lie.
Technicalities.
The panels are on rotation...it's just they have been rotated to the rubbish dump because tRUMP and anyone, that's ANYONE, who works for or supports him are vile disgusting scum. The end.
And what is the official reasoning behind the removing of those panels?
Serious answer from the article: Trump DEI policies.
I work at a FTSE 100 in London. My black colleagues reaction to the pushback on DEI from the right has just been so depressing. They’re not remotely surprised and seemed to have suspected that this ill will was there all along. The west really was just putting makeup on a dog all these years wasn’t it.
It will take several generations of this sort of behaviour being vigerously crushed for it to go away for good. You need to wait for everyone who was alive when it was acceptable, and those who listened to them, to die. Only then is there a chance for a better way to fully take root without being poisoned by what came before.
The racist scum never went away, they just felt less confident to speak their warped minds openly. Trump and his MAGA cultists have emboldened the scum to be more overt with their hate. It's really depressing to see society slide backwards like this. We need to stay strong and weather the storm in the hope that when some kind of normality returns these folk are held to account.
Some of the worst people never went away, but somehow gained power
The same as any other conservative policy: "fuck you, stop us if you can"
Cruelty. That is the one and only reason behind anything Republicans do.
To hurt people. They cum to it.
