In #Pennsylvania und #Michigan und #Nevada (wichtige #SwingStates*) sieht es überraschend gut aus für die möglicherweise erste #US-Präsidentin der Geschichte.
Vielerorts Rekord-Wahlbeteiligungen. Die Jugend und die Latinos (wurden in #Trump|s letzter Wahlkampfveranstaltung in #NY indirekt als als "Müll" bezeichnet) haben sich besonnen und wollen Trump nicht wieder als Präsident. Wenn das auf die Wählerinnen auch...

...understand the developments in #Poland—and similar ones in such countries as #Turkey, #India, and *#America*—👉the simple binary of democracy and dictatorship will not do.👈 #Poland, like so many other countries 👉[the #US], is evolving into an embattled system that political scientists have described by such names as “*illiberal democracy*” and “competitive authoritarian regime.”👈
Alas, this is only part of the story I remembered, but it holds important, excellent phrased truths:
"#Poland [alternative read: 👉"the #US under #Trump,] in short, may be poised to turn into a Potemkin democracy, an empty simulacrum of genuine self-government. And that once again reveals the alarming brittleness of democracy, with even the most vaunted democratic success stories deeply vulnerable to authoritarian capture.👈
Ta-Nehisi Coates speaking with Peter Beinart about his time visiting the Occupied West Bank:
“Israel is not a democracy. I thought I was gonna go over there and see some really morally complex stuff, but I didn’t. I mean, it was so obviously immoral. It’s blatantly immoral.”
"There's something dark here beyond Israel itself that I think is really, really hard to face."

“Israel is not a democracy.
A Turkish Bureau has added witness accounts & evidence to the file of activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, who was killed by Israeli occupation forces on September 6, in the occupied West Bank.
The bureau has now filed charges of “premeditated murder” against the perpetrators.
As Americans vote, exhausted and outmanned Ukrainian soldiers are holding defensive lines under constant Russian fire, knowing the results will dictate their future.
#Harris, who has decried President Vladimir #Putin’s “brutality,” would likely carry on President Joe #Biden’s policy of support.
#Trump has repeatedly taken issue with #US aid to #Ukraine, made vague vows to end the war and has praised #Putin.
"Both #Trump and #Harris are ridiculous candidates, ..."
Due to past exchanges, I've really been (overly) patient with you. However, with that sentence, you've clearly outed yourself as a *Russian troll*, actively engaging in information warfare on behalf of the fascist #WarCriminal in the #Kremlin trying to undermine democracy, in particular in the #US.

Francesca Albanese: "The entire population of Gaza is at risk of dying in a genocide that has been announced & executed under our watch."

#NASA Administrator Bill #Nelson on Friday called for an investigation into a Wall Street Journal report that #SpaceX founder and Donald #Trump ally Elon #Musk and Russian President Vladimir #Putin have been in “regular contact” since late 2022.
The report raises national security concerns as SpaceX’s relationships with NASA and the #US military may have granted Musk access to sensitive government information and US intelligence.
Analysis: Daniel Levy: The Israeli game plan, declared openly & publicly by Israel’s leaders from the get-go, "was an intensification & continuation of the displacement & the denial of Palestinian rights that has gone on for decades, but in a far more gruesome way."
This is the "Generals' Plan."
"The Americans announce more aid, but they keep sending the weapons. They’re arming this military. They’re providing political cover."

Kamala Harris and Beyoncé ignited a Houston rally with a double-barreled argument against Donald Trump on Friday. The superstar told the Democratic nominee’s biggest crowd ever that it was “time to sing a new song.
...the men and women in this room, and watching around the country, we need you,” Beyoncé said in a rare political appearance. The megastar’s speech was lofty, joyful and optimistic — a temper to the seriousness of the topic and of the message Harris was there to bring..." 1)

I fear my poor old iPad may buckle under the non-stop barrage of election posts inundating my Masto feed these days. They’ve already swept away most of the climate change posts I used to be able to follow. And they’ve forced most other posts so far down the line I’ll need an excavator to dig them out. A few cat videos still make it. But that ‘s about it.
Elon #Musk is already the globally most influential fascist. (No, I'm not talking just about #X, formerly #Twitter.)

Report: Since the war began, Israel has prevented entry to more than a quarter of a million trucks carrying aid & other goods into Gaza.
For more than a year, Israel has been committing the war crime of using starvation "as a weapon of war against civilians & against children, especially by preventing the entry of food, baby milk & nutritional supplements”.
Before Oct 7, 2023, roughly 500 aid trucks entered Gaza each day.
Ukrainian researchers have uncovered Western-made components in North Korean missiles used by Russia in its war against Ukraine. These components, which include microcontrollers, came from at least nine Western companies despite strict sanctions. The list of implicated companies includes U.S.-based Analog Devices and Broadcom, Dutch NXP Semiconductors, Swiss company TRACO Electronic AG, and British XP Power. #us #usa #news #minimarketonlineltd #America #ukraine #russia #britain #UkraineWar
