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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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.

As a none-native speaker, please help me parse this article:
A racist organized a rally that is
Why? I'd expect him to do the opposite.
That sounds distinctly not anti-Muslim hate. So is it a [anti-Muslim] [hate rally]? Then I am not sure why it'd be pro-immigration at the same time?!
Pro-ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement),
Anti-muslim,
hate-rally.
I can see the potential ambiguity for a non-native speaker with the articles phrasing.
Now that you mention it ... of course! Thanks!
It's saying the rally was in favor of ICE and opposed to immigration and Muslims.
Yeah, but then why does it say "pro-immigration"? To be a proponent of something means supporting it. And those people hardly support people immigrating to their country.
The "immigration" in there belongs to "Immigration and Customs Enforcement", which is the full name of ICE. So it's saying that he's pro-ICE, or pro-[Immigration and Customs Enforcement]. The hyphen is a bit confusing there.
It is poorly phrased.
ICE is short for "Immigration and Customs Enforcement".
The next part is even phrased worse.
Anti-Muslim hate-rally would be a better phrasing, but "hate rally" is a weird phrase already. A good editor would have dropped "hate" from the phrase entirely.
So, rephrased: "a pro-ICE and Anti-Muslim rally"
“Immigration and Customs Enforcement” —abbreviated as “ICE” — is the organization that he supports. He’s not in favor of immigration, he’s in favor of the organization that traditionally enforces immigration laws, in other words anti-immigration.
Also worth noting that this organization’s mission has been skewed from simply enforcing the laws into “kidnapping people with tan skin or or who have an accent” and generally being a modern version of the Nazi “brownshirts”. So that is what he is supporting.
Your error was just parsing him as pro "I." when he is actually pro "I.C.E."
He is in favor of immigration enforcement, not immigrants.
EDIT: The distinction here is that Pro-immigration translates to “Pro-deportation” in right wing colloquial expression.
Anti-immigration.
Pro-ICE.
Anti-Muslim.
So just a general piece of shit.
You’ve described conservatives perfectly.
I hope I’m not the only one that resists throwing up in my mouth when one speaks.
I am not sure, I fully understand. Because being a proponent of something means you support it. So pro-immigration people are in favor of others immigrating to their country, and that's certainly not what the fascist want? They want immigrants, illegals, aliens (whatever they call them) out of the country so they are anti-immigration.
Yes I think Jumbie mistyped, "anti-immigration" is correct for the right-wingers, or as I call them the Wrong Wing.
The only way they could be called "pro-Immigration" is if you're using "Immigration" as a short name for ICE and US Border Patrol and Dept of Homeland Security together in general. As we in Los Angeles sometimes call them "la migra". Because although they have different jurisdictions, undocumented people have to run/hide from all of them.
This is correct and also (as I tried to clarify above) interchangeable with the rightwingers wanting to deport all non-whites.
I apologize for the mistake.
I specified above (I should have initially).
To a US rightinger scumbag, immigration is interchangeable with deportation of the browns.
