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.

Amrikkka is the satan
Burn this country down
The AfD is on the way to run the show, like many far right factions in many nation states of Europe.
The only way to stop tyranny is to stand up to it, and angry lemmy posts won’t do that. The danger is always much closer than the “foreigners” so many xenophobes like to point out.
Once tyranny is in power the resistance needs support, not condemnation. I thought this was known 80 years ago, apparently not so much today.
Such bullshit. They are tiny parties that very few agree with that are being supported by the US in the name of "free speech", so just fuck right off with that and stop believing what you read on X
Reuters covered the election where they landed 152 of the bundestag seats, just behind the majority of CDU/CSU with 208 seats. https://www.reuters.com/world/germany/german-election-2025-updates-2025-02-23/
To say they are a "tiny party" is nuts. It doesn't matter if an ultra minority support them, because a sizable portion vote for them.
Republicans could have held him responsible at any time. Republicans could have blocked any of this at any point. Trump alone was a narcicistic fool with fragile masculinity. Republicans made him the threat he is. Far too many Democrats failed to take things seriously too.
Right, yet many like Fetterman etc were confirming his goons etc. They still bear responsibility, even if it's less. They failed to treat the situation with the appropriate respect and responses that it deserved. Instead, behaving like everything was still normal. which is still fucked up at best.
The reason they don't hold a majority is exactly because they refuse to take anything seriously. Much less the desires of the voters. And it wasn't just Fetterman he and Shaheen were definitely the worst. Hassan, Kelly, Tim fucking Kane the former VP nominee, Gilibrand, Klobuchar, Peters, Slotkin, Warnock, Hickenlooper, goddamned Corey Booker!? Yes they voted against the worst of the worst. They just voted for the worst and got nothing but shame to show for it.
Hah! Just saw this. Kelly won an extra prize. Shame and a pension cut!
And? I mean, yeah. They did attempt those things, which was good. Would have been better if they had accomplished any of them. But that's not at all the reason voters didn't vote for them.
Voters didn't vote for them because no one who had Biden's ear. Got through to him till far too late for any sort of primary to run. Then they dumped the wet rag known as Kamala on us. Who continued to fail to inspire or listen to anyone on anything, especially regarding Palestine.
you would still run into DINOs like SCHUMER, slotkin, and 10+others.
Just like when he attacked Iran dems are only upset they weren't informed before and allowed to vote yes, not that he did the illegal actions...
Then again we haven't had an official war since WW2 so not like safe guards were doing anything before
So just like the dems only upset that our president attacked a sovereign nation, took their leader and now claims ownership of, because he didn't let the dems give him pre approval.
Again only upset at the illegal act of not notifying congress beforehand.
Again only care about the paperwork not the actions. And he doesn't care about Machado so why would he tell her anything.
So it would be better if he had put a terrible person who wants to sell off her countries assets?
You just don't like having your beliefs shown to you.
Again just like when Iran was attacked they were only upset they didn't get to vote yes not that the attacks happened
Therefore it's okay to bomb or kill civilians?
Idk how else you take it as approval to kill civilians like what happened in Iran.
Oh so you do want to go join soliders to kill civilians
So yes if the paper work is in order you don't care who is killed.
How can you not see that?
Unless it's the US at the approval of congress according to you.
Again stop the bullshit and admit that you are fine with the actions of trump just not how he does them
Yes quoting you claiming the opposite of what you send.
And I it's you being rhetorical but would. It be surprised if you were feeding babies to wolves to help dnc
if the attack was legal then it's okay.
Amazingly terrible reading comprehension as usual
Probably because you think Trump is the wolf in the hen house rather than think that it's always how the president has acted, just usually with an actual PR team
