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.

Kamala would've been the same, right?
Harris would have opened a literal portal to hell and used the demons to kill infants so the rich could bathe in their blood.
Dunno about bathing in blood, but fucking the infants? That's the Epstein files...
She would have transgendered all the children/s
Have you seen the Republican primaries this month? Trump's endorsements won across the board. Even Thomas Massie; a Republican who rallied against data centers, big tech remotely controlling cars, and AIPAC; lost his seat because Trump bashed him. It doesn't seem like voters regret backing Trump at all, as evident by how much shit Trump's administration is getting away with.
All the more reason to tell any American trying to say "but we're not all bad" to shut up and get to work. This gets a lot worse the longer you leave it.
I feel the same. I just don't see how we get this country to lock in. Even as people get upset—in January 2025 over the DOGE terrorism; more recently over these data centers—nothing ever comes of it. Progressive and rational voices speak up, but we're drowned out.
I fear there is just too much against us. There are too many distractions for the disillusioned. The only current movement that has overcome that is MAGA, with their ravenous hatred; but they obviously aren't the solution.
I'm not giving up—for I and many others USA politics isn't something we can "log out" of—but I can't ignore that all the introspection and analysis I've tried runs into the same seemingly-impassible pitfalls.
MSM pretty much wont report on the actual fallout of doge cuts, trumps attack, or at least downplay it to death. since they are all owned by trump supporters. older people still consume MSMs in large amounts, and it gets distilled by right wing pundits on youtube, or social media, they never hear the actual bad that comes from trump, its all framed as a "non-issue, temporary issue or a positive thing.
One thing they have noticed and will keep noticing is the inflation and fuel prices.
I share your sentiment. There's a lot of work to be done in running general strikes. There's also work in sabotaging workplaces.
any R that opposes P47 will get primaried immediately by the gop thats a fact, Mccains daughter for example, MTG quit before being primaried. kAZINGER is another one. nope none, they fully bought into the cult, to think otherwise is uncomfortable to them. 4 years of trump being aired 24/7 +manosphere helped cement his support, and all the gaffes he did prior to the election too, anti-vaxxers are just an extra cherry on top.
Moscow Mitch's endorsements couldn't beat Trump. Mitch McConnel. That guy IS the Kentucky Republican Party...except when Trump disagrees.
he helped brought TRUMP to where he is right now, and plus entrenching the scotus picks to be "permanently" conservative. hes just bailing before he gets the blame for it, plus when he was a Majority leader he had so much sway in the senate too, even when compared to lame duck chuck.
The whole republican party needs to go
The whole republican party needs something done to them that likely involves 2-stroke engine driven machinery.
This is normal. Republicans can't win a primary without the orange pedo. They can't win a general election with him.
Yes
She was openly 100% Israels creature, so yes absolutely she would have done whatever zionists paid her to do. Exactly the same as Biden was. People like to forget that most of the deaths of Israels genocide of Palestinians and other war crimes were during Bidens presidency. I'm not sure Trump has managed to catch up to Bidens zionist butchers bill, illegally paid for by our tax money. Biden, Harris, and trump should all be in jail for breaking the Leahy laws against aiding in genocide. You'd like to think the DNC is less bought by bribes than the GOP. The facts say thats not true, they both let Israel do whatever they want, with only purely performative pushback.
Oh dude… c’mon… much much worse.
