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.

Literally a fat, orange version of Hitler that Americans are doing fuck all about
Guess what? Americans are doing what they can and should at the moment.
There are protests, strikes, election defense programs, community organization, signal mobilization, and more.
It’s not being reported by the media because it’s all propaganda. Democracy needs to do its thing unfortunately and that takes time.
There’s a LOT that needs to be done and tried before it turns into something more dramatic. We need to have mid term elections, need to see them be fair, and then let the democratic accountability take hold.
If that fails, then there’s more. But that has to fail, and people need to stop saying it will fail before it does. We don’t need more agitation, it sucks here right now, but the tide is turning at the pace of democracy. If you want something faster you’re asking for fascism to replace fascism and nobody should want that.
I have to watch other sources to see that this is happening, it's fucking disgusting man. If the media was run on "outrage" as it seems to be ... it's weird how so much of this isn't being reported.
It’s not weird, mainstream media is owned by the oligarchs and they want this crap.
Independent media however is having a foundational moment and it’s helping me get through this.
Trump's friends are buying up all the legacy media too. Hell, Larry Ellison, an Israel loyalist, is buying warner bros to get CNN. Already owns CBS and other stuff through Paramount Skydance. Or his son does, anyway.
What other sources are you watching?
It doesn't have much to do with the politics directly, but I have been watching gamers nexus coverage for my tech related geopolitics and they have been great in their coverage of topics like the circular money scheme in the ai sector & the silicon shortage.
Don't you guys have something about guns and unjust governments written into your constitution?
The thing that made sense when everyone had the same shitty muskets?
As the previous comment hinted at, if you are going to use firearms to enact change it will invite an elevation in hostilities that is impossible to predict the outcome of, but will likely hinder the Democratic systems even more than they already are.
IMO guns are likely only going to appeal to people if at the very least the midterms don't go the way we think it should. This is mainly because the opposition to the current government happens to be the main demographic that dislikes firearms.
A full third of America said 'i don't care' when the writing was on the wall in bright flashing lights.
Fuck off. Americans invited this. Reap what you sow, loers.
I understand the frustration but people are actually trying here. Genuinely. The media isn't covering it. Socialists are winning elections en mass for the first time in American history. People regret. People are angry. People are scared. I never voted for the Orange turd THANK GOODNESS and I was dreading him both times but people are legit waking up.... Sucks it had to get this bad but this chapter in history will eventually be over, too..... It's terrifying, tho.
Every single person that voted for him needs to apologize to the entire world, imo.
Muricans are busy trying to figure out which billonaire CEO eats his own burger correctly.
