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.

MODERATORS
Literal fucking Nazi scum... I hate this fucking country and like 40% of the people in it...
32% were in favor of this regime. 37% were indifferent. Only 31% voted against.
So closer to 70% of people.
If the Harris campaign cared about law enforcement violence they did a dogshit job of communicating it to anyone
Here's to hoping at some point in the future we get candidates that won't blow winnable races like her team did
True.
Biden 100% supported militarizing cops. Same with Obama, even after Ferguson.
The old joke is that party democrats always manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Winning as a liberal would be laughably easy if the DNC would get out of the fucking way. But the DNC is obsessed with making everyone wait in line for their “turn”, which means the only people “allowed” to run are the candidates who have put in the time, paid their dues, and toed the party line to prove that they’ll play nice with the official party platform. Which means the only democrats who ever make it to the stage are the most bland milquetoast career candidates imaginable.
You people are ridiculous. I hope you're bots and not thinking individuals.
Does she need to have your back? Was she even part of the dialogue until you whatabouted her into the conversation? She's a shitty person and a fucking cop who supports bad historical policies that benefit the rich. But I can safely say that she wouldn't invade a sovereign nation for her own personal gain. She doesn't have a long history of fucking children and getting away with it. She wouldn't tank the entire economy, remove people's right to marry or get health care or endorse a reckless anti-vaxxer whose efforts will be felt for decades (but only by the survivors of outbreaks of what should be long extinct diseases). She would do shitty things to good people. She wouldn't fix the system. But she wouldn't be doing gestures around all of this. And maybe you can't respect the idea of harm reduction. Maybe you don't know a lot of people hanging on in the fringes or maybe you've crossed over it and don't give a fuck about others anymore. But I still do. I still want my friends to live. I still want a future for the children of today.
Okay well most of us aren't members of an armed militia. What's your excuse?
Have you liberated any deathcamps, or are you just gonna be smug about everyone else who hasn't?
Cause it seems like that would take an armed militia, and since you profess to be a member of one, that really raises the question why you haven't liberated any deathcamps.
I thought you said you're a black panther. Are you telling me there's less than ten of you?
We can all say "Well I would take action, but everyone else is being a coward so I don't have enough comrades." So why are you being smug about other people not doing enough, when you haven't done anything yet either and you even claim to already be a member of an armed group?
Like, don't wait til you recruit 10 million people. Set the example with one successful operation, it'll make headlines and then people will join your movement. Nobody's gonna join some wannabe upstart without a plan, there's already plenty of those...
I see someone else telling you to set the example of what you preach, which you deflected by linking to other conflicts and uprisings in different countries which you certainly had nothing to do with.
What exactly do you think is going on in Myanmar? Cause by that description you're completely detached from reality.
Also, those examples have nothing to do with anything you've done. You're still pretending to be brave, without doing shit to back it up.
I see a peaceful vigil. People can do that in any city. Do you want me to be in all fifty states at once? What city are you in? I'm beginning to doubt you're even in the US. You're probably stoking tensions from moscow.
I know that “lesser evil” isn’t a good material condition, but exactly how the fuck is this?
If you're a Black Panther then where are you in these neighbourhoods protecting the people?
All these tough gangstas in the USA but none of them standing up and actually protecting their "turf."
I hope you're happy with trump, then, because apparently you want to be.
Wow another anarcho-pantherist on Lemmy! Good luck arguing with the liberals over here on Lemmy.world. You're better off ignoring any news/politics community on this instance and sticking to spaces friendlier to the left than to genocide apologists.
Solidarity
Oh no there's two dipshits now instead of one. Thanks for helping trump
-an actual leftist
Yea yea electoral politics is the only thing you care about. I've heard it before. Militant opposition to fascism doesnt involve voting for the less fascist party once in a blue moon, but that doesnt mean you can assume who I voted for or that I didnt vote.
The US has been a violent occupier in my community since long before Trump and nothing about team blue winning in 2024 would have changed that. A so called "actual leftist" would understand the harms of punching left over fucking electoral politics.
Im the only one in this thread that was agreeing with you. I guess fuck me for expecting a fellow panther to recognize solidarity.
You'd be having a bigger effect being angry on Twitter then, instead of (effectively) incentivising infighting in a social media predominantly inhabited by the people who are opposing all of these atrocities
You're doing a real good job of making me go "idgaf about Americans" with this non-solidarity, because from what I'm seeing you're only driving people (with similar interests) away that could join in opposition to trump
Well, you're not succeeding at solidarity, have fun.
I'm not American
I'm just waiting until y'all either to implode into civil war or decide to wipe this shitstain off the planet earth
I don't need to fucking deal with this; clean up your mess, or we'll probably meet in The Hague, one way or another
fucking idiot
You are part of what's wrong right now
