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.

Betcha he's gonna do it anyway.
Edit: Or this whole idiotic scheme will fall apart and then he'll stop talking about it. Have you heard him say the word "wall" even once in the past five years?
Traditionally the fascists round everyone up into camps, realize no one will let you dump 22mill fucking people on their doorstep, and try and reduce the cost of the camps with forced labor, then start working people to death, and killing them on an industrial scale. I know they sound like the worst, but the people who outnumber them who are willing to say ''not my problem'' while this happens are the real issue. Fascist will always be around, complacency is what allows them to carry out their plans.
Trump can't send people to the Bahamas without the goverment's permission. They won't be allowed off the plane, and eventually the plane has to return to the US.
Trump doesn't even follow his own country's laws, I doubt he'll care much about another's.
Trump isn't in charge of Bahamas. So if they say nobody gets off a plane in their airport, then nobody can get off the plane. The pilot can either sit in the cockpit forever or fly everyone home.
This is not a man who wouldn't use force to make it happen anyway.
It's pointless to use force. That would mean breaking all treaties with the Bahamas. Which would free the Bahamas to do things that are normally prohibited, like putting all the newly arrived immigrants on a boat and sailing them 50 miles right back to Florida.
This whole charade is pointless. We are not talking about a rational human.
Even Hitler couldn't force anyone to take all Jewish immigrants he wanted to exile, this isn't a game, no amount of force and stupidity works in this situation. You can't dump people in other countries, the other countries have things like militaries, and air traffic controllers, and export/import goods to turn on and off. Even with all the termoil in Egypt, they've never taken in the whole population of Gaza as Isreal wants them to. Their goal has been to exile them for a long long time, it's never going to work, and now they are killing them all. This is how ethnostates work, this is how authoritariaism, fascism, autocracy work. You vilified minority groups, blame everything on them, create a atmosphere of fear and hate, round them all up or force them all in one area, and when nothing can be done to solve the problem you created by doing this, you kill them all.
The point is THEY won't brake THEIR laws. If you want an example of what the looks like, just look at Gaza and Egypt.
I said it before; he'll point people south of the border, tell them to go that way or be shot at. They don't care if people die. They never considered them people to begin with.
He'll have them killed first. ''Letting people leave'' never happens in authoritarian fascist thinking.
How long before they're on prison being used as slave labor?
Immediately. I doubt they were ever going to leave the country.
That's what I've suspected all along.
Surprised he's not trying to send them to Puerto Rico.
Shhh... don't give him ideas.
Better hope he's as bad in US geography as he's in moral terms.
An all expenses paid trip to the Bahamas? I thought Trump was the host of The Apprentice, not The Price Is Right.
There's no need to listen to the ratings of a mentally challenged boy... The world knows who Trump is at this point.
I don't think any nation wants to have some random people dumped on their doorstep.
So either they identifi the country of origin and send them back there (still only if that country takes them), or they are stuck with them. They could of course just kill them, but there might be some GOP members who think that is going to far and block this.
Rwanda are probably open to discussions about this as they’re not receiving them from the UK now.
