A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

The US travel and tourism industry contributed nearly USD1.6 trillion to US economy in 2015 or 2.6 percent of its GDP. Travel and tourism exports accounted for 11 percent of all US exports and 33 percent of all US services exports, positioning travel and tourism as the nation's largest services export.
No big deal, let’s just gut one of our single greatest sources of international income. So dumb.
*gasp!*
You suggest, do you sir, that the leadership of this great country may be so incompetent and corrupt as to deny working men and women their fair shake at a reasonable living?!
Oh! I may have the vapors!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
florida being one of the biggest attractions for canadians and some countries too, because of disney. Its no wonder DESANTIS IS so quiet in the news now.
Just don't come to the US.
Don't care the reason, business, pleasure, or otherwise, just don't come to the US.
You will only threaten your freedom, wellbeing, and/or your life.
Warning from a US'ian.
🤷♂️ 🤷♂️
That includes diplomats, foreign leaders and members of foreign governments. Just stay as far away as you can from the dumpster fire that is this country.
No one under any circumstances should come here. If you are being sent there then refuse. Trust me it does not matter what you might lose as home it is better than losing everything by coming here.
It is worse than my international friends realize.
Do not come to America this place has been taken over by Nazis.
As a person in the states right now? Don’t come here.
I want yall to be able to go back home, cause we all deserve to be able to return home safely at the ‘end of the day’. Don’t come here, and absolutely do not spend your $$ here or on US shit.
I lived in russia for many years (as a minor), while I speak fluent russian and have an understanding of local culture, I and my family (everyone speaks russian) constantly got harassed by security goons, including some almost comical situations where their reflexive racism almost made the outcomes worse for the cops/security. There was also some really mean-spirited stuff; a completely wasted cop aggressively harassing me on a major street without any reason at all other than me walking by, I was in my pre-teens, it got to the point where his colleague had to drag him away and tell me to leave.
But it seems that the Americans (no disrespect to sane Americans) have decided to enter in a competition with the russians. Week long interment without any real reason? This is insane.
The funny thing is that I've also lived in the US and travelled there a lot when I moved to Canada; while there was a lot of what I call "cowboy roleplay", it never got this bad.
I would absolutely not travel to America while Trump is in power. I've wanted to visit again since his first term, but fuck the extra border hassle (+ now the risk of getting sent to gitmo or El Salvador or god knows where for criticizing dear leader) and also fuck supporting an economy he will take credit for.
I feel bad for all the businesses who did nothing wrong. But we live in capitalism and I can't vote/protest there so 🤷♂️
When the warning comes from a lot of Americans, please take it seriously. Do not come to America! It’s not worth coming here to a third world country. Don’t put yourself, or your family in danger when two non American citizens have been sent to prison because of their renewal for green card. And the conditions within the prison is absolutely horrific and disgusting. So please do not come to America. Wait till the end of the 4 years, and that will depend if we even make it to the first year.
Let’s see if Europe retaliates. Get your dual citizenships in order while you can.
And if you can. Which isn't possible for most.
French citizenship in 2 years for study. Portugal and Belgium after living there 5. Spain in 2 if Latin American or Filipino.
Let's go to Canada instead!
If I was any famous person who does concerts I would limit my concerts to overseas.
Same, and it sucks because I want to go to them. But I'd rather they be safe. Ghost is coming and I'm definitely going to the concert. But given everything, including our puritan BS that's flooding everything, I'm definitely concerned for their safety.
Don’t go to the US, it’s overhyped anyway
I need more coffee
I read that as "detonations"
Though, that's probably the next phase of operation hateful bigot
Part of the solution does involve detonations
