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 other explanation needed, ICE ARE NAZIS. you dont laugh at a war torn family/father unless a your pure unadulterated evil Nazi
Goon probably couldn’t even articulate why he wanted Russia to win.
Same reason he roots for his local football team
If he views himself as badass as he tries to act, why is he here fucking around with the non-violent, legal immigrants just trying to work and live their lives? Why not head over to Russia and enlist for the frontlines? They’re taking volunteers. If he had real balls he’d go lay his life down for mother Russia without a hesitation. I’m sure those Russian soldiers would welcome him as their bro and not kick the shit out of him. I’m sure he’d storm those trenches and give Ukraine what-for like a real alpha warrior hero and single-handedly win the war, not get blown up by a drone in a nameless field.
“I asked why he was laughing and I was told that he was pro-Russian, wanted Russia to win the war.”
Not surprised at all.
I think some ICE goons should be deported to Russia, let's see how they like being conscripted when they get there.
Every single story I read about US Americans moving to Russia because they think Russia is so much better is always a hilarious read. I particularly liked the black woman who thought there wasn’t racism in Russia. 🤣🤣🤣
Just to be clear, Edward Snowden leaked classified info to US journalists, and fled the country, he tried going elsewhere, but US took his passport and Russia accepted him staying. And he choose to flee after watching Obama's war on whistleblowers, and how some are still in prison for the first amendment in US constitution. Some even faced what many consider to be torture.
I was going to add a note at the end of my comment about Snowden, but decided not to. That doesn’t really apply to what I was talking about.
It's a US citizen that moved to Russia because people like him were being jailed and tortured in US, and it's better in Russia for him, and he can, and does speak his mind. So no, it's not "every single story"
lol nice take. He’s basically forced to live there.
Forced by whom? Who took away his passport for exposing that the American government was spying on all its citizens?
You do realize that Snowden is a pawn in Putin's hands. It was the reason why he was taken in. He would be exchanged in a heartbeat if it meant removal of sanctions or return of some frozen assets. Snowden isn't stupid and knows this very well himself (he didn't have a choice).
You do realize that he's not an American pawn for exposing that the US government spies on all its citizens. How you're OK that your government spies on you and all its citizens, and now it's coming out that they have a secret list of dissidents that are labeled "domestic terrorists" that even congress can't see, is nothing short of concerning. Let alone the fact that 2nd Amendment also doesn't apply anymore, as you can't have a gun at a protest against your secret police that are wearing face masks. But sure.... Russia, Putin, Iran, and Venezuela.
That was a wild ride. Snowden was stateless after his passport was revoked and Russia accepted him in transit to another country.
He wanted to go to Ecuador first, but his passport was revoked while he was in Russia, where he stopped on his flight from Hong Kong. He's still in Russia, openly speaking on Twitter all the time.
Holy shit, that's not just putting your face in the leopards mouth that's crawling into it's stomach as hard as you can.
After pre-masticating your own face for it.

it also doesn't make sense.
"I want russia to win the war,that's why I'm sending reinforcements to ukraine"
They're not thinking that far ahead and likely give zero shits either way.
I bet they chose to tell this guy they support Russia just to make arresting this guy more abusive.
Russiaboos think that no amount of bodies or western equipment is actually hurting Russia, only delaying the inevitable complete capitulation. He's happy he gets to, in his eyes, send a Ukrainian to die pointlessly.

I hate these fucking fascists.
Trumps goons are pro Russia? That surprises no one.
I bet Putin has video of Trump banging a guy ... thus explaining his pro Russia stance.
I have family that went from spreading pro-Russia propaganda from rightwing outlets after Putin started paying them all (Lew Rockwell, Tucker Carlson, Gateway Pundit, etc...) to now just disseminating crap straight from Russian Times.
American conservatism has an ideological bromance with Russia.
- violent suppression of LGBT
- systemic racism
- patriarchal values, domestic violence
- subservience to (state controlled) church
- nationalist chauvinism
- wars of plunder
Seems more likely they're business partners in a criminal empire that includes child sex-trafficking, likely using DONT's "modeling" agencies to move or entrap victims

Important to remember that ICE is and has always been a bipartisan enterprise, and in fact, go look up who first appointed Tom Homan.
Yep it's been broken for years. As soon as they started enforcing a 100-mile border zone, I knew something was rotten. But what's been happening lately highlights that immigration needs fixed more than ever. Write or call your congressman tell them we need immigration reform now before more people die or have their lives ruined for no good reason. It seems like congres needs to be told what to do by enough of their voters or they do nothing. The main thing they're worried about above all else is getting reelected.
All the violations of liberty and building of the surveillance state have been bipartisan.
If america ever has a brief moment of intelligence. And asks itself if we are the bad guy. Ya. You are. And it's not a new thing. You have been the bad guy a long time. Things like this is just a small symptom. The internal rot is now showing through the propaganda and flag you have been trying to cover it with.
You can lay all that at the feet of the boomer generation and their parents, thank you. American exceptionalism was propagandized in our textbooks, by our media, and worst of all by the voting bloc that now demands we shut up and work harder to get to where they got to. Many of us in gen-x and older millennial's were just as horrified at the atrocities of our earlier generations as many who faced down the receiving end of that exceptionalism outside the US. However, it wasn't until the last 20-25 years that we even knew all the awful shit that happened at the hands of American imperialism.
We didn't learn the same history in school. We didn't have the ability to push back against the generational propaganda being fed to us from every side. Nor did we have the ability to vote to stop it at any point before the information age. So please don't throw all American's under the same umbrella as our government, past or present. Many of us were born into this mess and have been powerless to stop it our entire lives. We may never get a chance to make amends for our past, at this rate, but not for a lack of trying.
Or, if you prefer, we can lump all current citizens of any nation in with their government's past. Probably wouldn't seem fair to blame all Canadians for their treatment of native people and the indoctrination schools containing mass graves of Inuit children that seem to turn up regularly, aye?
Talking about America or any country as a single organism with just one train of thought is unproductive.

To fellow Ukrainians who haven't realized this yet: migrants are not "they", it's our friends and family, and making any migration means-tested and bureaucratic is bullshit that will make "illegals" out of random people, out of you, and cause great suffering. Let's build international solidarity with migrants and refugees from all countries, in all countries.
