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.

Scotland is doing a better job at protesting this fuck than the US.
I don't think you understand.
https://www.democracynow.org/2025/6/16/no_kings
just pointing out, Scotland only has 5.5 million people living in it.
that would mean for Scotland to "do a better job at protesting this fuck than the US." every single man, woman, child and elder would have to be in your streets right now.
how shit is that, you can't even organize 5 million people for a simple protest.
update: I'm not even going to wait on this because the numbers are abysmal. Edinburgh is calling in "hundreds" of protestors and I'll give the benefit of the doubt to Scotland and say there's 1000 protestors nationwide.
many of you twats argued it should be measured by per capita, so let's do that.
Scotland
- population 5,500,000
- trump golf protest 1000
- per capita 0.00018
in comparison to the US.
- population 347,411,739
- no kings 5,000,000
- per capita 0.014
but hey, it's not a competition, I just don't like it when someone denigrates the efforts of people to make themselves feel better. I know what you're thinking, "aren't you being a little hypocritical?" no I'm not, because I'm simply calling out bullshit with facts.
those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
don't like it? tough shit. next time don't talk shit and there won't be shit.
God I hate that term, surplus, like humans are all fucking cattle and nothing but fodder for the material machine.
I just wanted to say that this, along with the rest of your comments in this thread, have proven to be the most inane series of arguments I've seen lately.
I think they meant as a percentage of the population. Americans with the second amendment are notoriously docile little pups when it comes to protesting anything, let alone the illegitimately installed head of their state actively destroying their country their are so notoriously patriotic about.
It's because they convinced those people to vote for him. At least 1/3 of the country loves this guy, and a lot of people are scared of ICE or that other 1/3. None of those problems exist there.
More people should be active, but I'm not a fan of just shitting on everything people do because it's not enough. That's a quick easy to make people stop doing anything.
The "No Kings" protests on June 14, 2025, are estimated to be among the largest single-day demonstrations in U.S. history, potentially exceeding the 2017 Women's March in turnout. Data journalist G. Elliott Morris of Strength in Numbers estimates that between 4 and 6 million people participated in the "No Kings" events across the country. This would represent approximately 1.2-1.8% of the U.S. population.
That's impressive, we shouldn't be shitting on it as not enough.
I’m not shitting on it, and it is not enough at the same time.
I’m amazed at the yanks coming out of the woodwork in this thread.
You as a collective citizenry have not stepped up. At all. Barely ⅓ voted for him. Probably closer to 20~25% liked him over the other. I’m sure that’s gone down significantly.
There is not a single person outside the US who is watching this who thinks the yanks are doing enough. It’s great there was one big protest, but it is a far cry from a proportionate response to the crisis levelled at you.
Instead of attacking people here on Lemmy, I would organise. This isn’t shaming or slamming, it is constructive criticism because as much as we would all want to, we aren’t in any capacity to come land on your beaches anytime soon. And half of you still thinks the midterms will bring reason and mediation to this madness.

America's compulsive need to always be right is why you deserve Trump. He is the exact essence of your country.
I deserve Trump? I voted against him and actively engage with my local government to stop this. Everyone who voted against this deserves Trump? You're ready to just write off everyone in the country? Fuck em all?
Fuck, you're just as bad as him.

This. Is. Not. How. It. Works.
Yes Scotland has a population of approx 5.5M so in order to have a higher percentage of the population protesting they'd need to have 80K people take to the streets just like Greenland would need 760 people to outperform the states.

C'mon Scotland... give us the headline we've all been waiting for.
The US doesn't have the spine for it.
Can't, they put up a massive fence out to a distance of like half a mile and then surrounded it with thousands of cops, no way I can throw eggs that far which is a shame because it's actually in reasonable commute distance.
These can get an impressive range to a water balloon. Reduce the mass with an egg and 1/2 mile is likely (just) within range.
I would say stink bombs are even lighter, but I doubt Trump can even smell them, over his own stink.

Meh. Plenty of us have rifles. ICE and MAGA don't show out down here. I'm waiting patiently.

ICE should detain him when he tries to return
I'm no golfer, but...... Is it me or his swing is absolute shit?
Be fair, golf is a technical game and he's probably thinking about all those children he raped over the years.
Very distracting when you're a raging paedo.
It is shit
I hope there’s Epstein banners everywhere.
Has he signed an executive order yet that mandates that the press reports that he only wins at golf and gets no fewer that 3 holes-in-one?
Why no throw eggs and bricks ? the easiest way. US won't fight for it self, let alone the politic spam about Trump.
Tacos. Throw fucking tacos.
I don't think tacos are very aerodynamic
¿Tacos con huevos?
Its a golf course, you will need a good arm... Or a taco cannon...
(Internet, write that down, we need to make a taco cannon)
Trebuchets have been able to do this for at least a few years.
Trebuchets are just medieval siege weapons from the trebuch region of France, everything else are sparkling catalults.
Nothing a water balloon launcher couldn't handle.
