World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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 like saying 'all lives matter' in response to the Black Lives Matter movement; it's disrespectful of the point being made.
It's just more Epstein-class waffle.
Tax billionaires until there are no none of them left.
It’s like thinking reverse racism is a thing.
I've lived in a place (and visited a couple others) where being a white person meant being subjected to suspicion and discrimination. It wasn't reverse racism, it was xenophobia and plain old garden-variety racism. Being on the receiving end was highly instructive, as were the supportive comments such as "but we don't mean you, you're one of the good ones." There were also cases of extreme discrimination and abusive behavior towards minorities that, to an outsider like me, seemed almost exactly like the majority population.
He very literally tried to pull a "I can't be racist, I have black friends" because he's worked with a couple people who happen to be Palestinian
I married one, and I'd never say that. Even after decades of marriage, having learned the language and having lived in the Middle East for years, there are still some unwritten norms and cultural differences that occasionally take each of us by surprise and lead to misunderstandings. We muddle through. Our kids are more fluently bicultural.
What bridges has he built, I wonder.
"Oh well this one time I built a bridge between my accountant, and my finance guy, and this stadium I wanted to buy"
bridges to nowhere, my friends
Kraft is an Epstein customer and human trafficking expert. Lowest of the low.
Building bridges between the fascists and everyone else, so the fascists can do their thing
100% disingenuous word salad bullshit. Not even worth reading.
He's saying he's built bridges with murderers.
To the quote you attached: He created funnels attached to people wallets; not bridges.
I hate how the Right can't understand context.
"What? You think only Black Lives Matter? ALL LIVES MATTER! Wait I'm the bad guy for saying all lives matter? What the fuck?" - The Right said not understanding what Black Lives Matter means
The people who come up with those thought-terminating slogans know what they're doing. The dim bulbs who repeat it might not understand, but their puppeteers do.
