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.

That's because the US is a fascist regime now where the powerful protect each other
Always has been.
Europe only pretends to be moral but it's very much subservient to America.
It's was evident by the fact that Russia was banned from Eurovison but Israel wasn't even tho the ICC located in the Netherlands decided Israel was committing genocide.
European countries sent troops to Greenland to defend it from RUSSIA when America threatened to annex Greenland.
European countries like Germany have sent their gold reserves to America instead of keeping them with themselves.
TLDR: Europe is America's bitch. Stop pretending to be morally superior.
Like the electorate take no responsibility for the vote result, the leaders take none for their actions.
This administration and Trump reflect the nation.
It’s because wealthy Americans are above the law. There will be never be any accountability for this.
Unless We the People take matters into our own hands.
Muted is certainly a word. Since we drug the head of the department of justice in front of Congress and all she had to do was whine that the Dow was so high! Like super high! The highest!
Can we get much higher?
so high

Waaaaay ahead of you!
"Owning up to your mistakes" on heinous shit like this includes snitching.
It's a fucking international child trafficking ring, the US isn't the only nation that can go after US citizens for that.
Everyone going down in other countries need to be grilled to disclose everything they know, and then at least release the names and crimes
It would be truly amazing if any international warrant was issued for Trump. I'm not sure anyone would be willing to actually act on the warrant, but just issuing it would be worth it.
It would be like Israel where it ends up banning high level officials from even travelling thru a country's airspace
But, I think it would be believable for stuff to come out in trials and due to the international and high level corruption of this case, if some countries don't prosecute their own, other countries governments have a responsibility to disclose the evidence and that the offending countries know but refuse to act
Fuck it, what's the risk in burning a bridge with trump when he's so fickle?
Either way it won't last, but this has a shot to get rid of him, which every responsible power wants.
