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.

She was shot 19 times.
I don't consider it conspiratorial to say, given that it happened within hours the first woman was elected President, that it was more likely than not sending a message of ignorance bucking the idea of women leading, or considering it was cited as likely being a cartel, a message of "don't think we won't kill you if you act against our business interests just because you're a woman." which considering gender roles and mores are still much more traditional than in the US, might have been a message they felt was needed.
It may not be connected , but if it isn't, it's a pretty big coincidence.
There is a reason they normally call it "Cotija de la Paz" but usually most of the time they call it "Cotija de la Paz Paz Paz Paz Paz Paz Paz...!"
I get your point but drug cartels love her political party and they are VERY happy that she won the presidency.
Our current president that is the "spiritual" leader of the party has the mantra of "abrazos, no balazos" (hugs, not shots) towards drug cartels.
Honestly it's a mess, as soon you start a business they come and start demanding money like it's their tax.
But people seems that they love it since they voted for her /shrugs
Tolerate is the operative word here, not love
Hey these cartels sound like a nice workplace, they are true gender equality proponents :)
Bruh its a Tuesday.
Double mayor days are Fridays: https://apnews.com/article/mexico-mayoral-candidate-killed-violence-elections-886c497b221087126014f7b113fd54a2
Or was it the other mayor (also a Friday): https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/1/mayoral-candidate-murdered-in-mexico-two-days-before-vote
Or the other other Tuesday mayoral double murder (1 attempted murder): https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mexico-election-mayoral-candidate-murdered-another-wounded/
Or the other Monday woman candidate: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/mexico-mayoral-candidate-gisela-gaytan-was-murdered-first-day-campaign-rcna146191
That's not even close to all of them, and that's only from the most recent couple months.
It is conspiratorial to ignore the fact that Mexico is experiencing and has been experiencing a continuous attack on their rule of law, especially at the mayoral level.
Mayor is like, the most hazardous job title in Mexico and has been for quite quite a while.
Edit: In this campaign season alone, 37 mayoral candidates have been assassinated in Mexico. There have been almost 800 attempted assassinations.
