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. 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 10/19
-
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.

Mass deportations of legal citizens, sure. Nothing wrong with deporting illegal migrants.
If it was Americans illegally living in ,Colombia you'd be cheering for them to send the American back to the US.
Also, the actual prelude to death camps is banning and removing guns from the population.
you realize that's what he's already trying to do right?
That's what ending birthright citizenship is all about. Millions of people who are currently considered to be American citizens will have that stripped from them and then they are free to be deported
Even before Trump, the US illegally deported lots of citizens by accident. Because practical legal protections against deportation were shit even back then.
So they don't even have to make it legal. Just impossible to practically fight illegal deportation.
A source https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Hundreds-of-citizens-end-up-in-deportation-11719324.php
That's not what ending birthright citizenship is about, it's about stopping anchor babies or birthright tourism. It's not about removing citizenship.
He's doing it through the courts. declaring birthright citizenship unconstitutional doesn't just affect future claims, it also affect past claims
I guess we'll have to see
Do you know that the Jewish population in Germany were citizens? And then Hitler took their citizenship away. Just like they used to have rights, until they didn't. Besides, just because something's legal, doesn't make it right. What's legal and what's not can change in the blink of an eye.
Yes. That's not what's happening here. None of the people being deported were ever citizens.
This person's outright sadistic blindness or trolling aside, anyone reading this comment with good faith and not immediately having an aneurysm should remember that the once and current president once said, and I quote:
Link to the quote? I'd like to look into that more.
just Google it, it was a big news story at the time
The link that was posted gave context. He wasn't trying to disarm the population, he was talking about confiscating a firearm from someone who's been flagged as about to harm themselves or others.
does it really sound unlike any of the other authoritarian shit he says? here, i operated the search engine for you: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-take-firearms-first/
In your own damn link it says he was talking about those who are "red flagged", or is alerted to authorities as someone who might do something. You know, like when someone posts a manifesto online, he was saying they should be able to confiscate their gun and then have the court process.
He certainly wasn't saying he wants to disarm regular citizens.
well, you clearly demonstrated your reading comprehension on the Snopes article... perhaps you should exercise that same skill on my comment because nowhere did i mention any of that nonsense you replied with.
Right, you didn't give any context to the quote and tried to insinuate he wanted to disarm the population.
Yes, yes, everyone's a Nazi who doesn't agree with your crazy rhetoric.
The requirement for being a nazi is to believe nazi things, such as you do
It's so easy when you claim everything you dislike are "Nazi things"
If Trump came out and said breathing is good, you'd start screaming that breathing is what nazis do.
Rich coming from the people who call everything they dislike 'woke' and uncritically believe any stupid shit that comes out of the host of celebrity apprentices' mouth.
Enjoy the consequences of believing that everything will just work out in the end because god loves you
I only call things that are tied to Marxist theory by way of identity politics "woke". Firing people who head giant departments and are doing a poor job of it isn't "woke", it's holding people accountable. If you don't do your job well, you should be fired. It's not that hard.
And I'm agnostic, but love that Insta-hate towards people who practice religion, that'll work out for you in the end. :)
I personally think making changes takes action, and that's what we're getting now. Action.
Yeah there's some action alright.
...lol, what does that have to do with anything?
This is a the first plane crash in the U.S. in 16 years, and it happened in Trump’s second week as President, one week after he signed an executive order to eliminate aviation safety advisory committees and his current nominee for Transport Secretary is a guy from MTV's The Real World.
Jews weren't "legal citizens" in Nazi Germany. What is and isn't "legal" is entirely made up.
They were prior to the law change. There is no law change here. The people being deported from the US were never us citizens.
Even if you could prove that those people aren't here legally, Trump is changing the laws. He wants to end Birth Right citizenship.
He wants to end anchor babies and birth tourism.
Just for brown people.
For anyone who does it. You think birth tourism is only done by brown people??
I think Trump has a long history of racism and it will either bake it into law that Europeans get preferred treatment or it will be selectively enforced.
Btw, why are you using two questions marks? Do you think doing it makes you look more expressive?
Trump does not have a long history of racism. Nowhere in his past has he ever been called racist until he started running against the establishment.
Not sure why you think Europeans will be the only ones allowed to immigrate to America... There are people from all over the world who come here legally. That's not changing. It's just the mass that's the problem. Let them come from all over in healthy numbers.
I really don't care what you think about the way I type how I express myself when I do so. You can read why I write more than well enough. :)

Yeah, you're going to have to do better than an NPR article quoting Hillay Clinton, who was the orchestrator of the Russia hoax. :)
The shit he signed into law says NOTHING about birther tourism or any other kind of tourism. Just delete the fourteenth amendment. Cause fuck the constitution right. Is that what you support.
No, I don't support deleting the constitution.
It doesn't have to say it, that's just what it's for.
Fucking lol
