I'm Russian living in Russia. I was 5 when Putin was 'elected'. I'm 30 now. I know that feeling of hopelessness very well. You should never surrender. Autocrats of the world are counting on you being down and depoliticized because all of this. Don't give them an easy win. Always fight, no matter how bad situation seems.

Christians or other people of faith may wish to consider these thoughts from Pastor Mark Peake of First Presbyterian Church of Monterey on Election Day, November 5, 2024.

4 General Character. Of course, no one is perfect and we lean into grace but sometimes it's easy to see where one candidate is trying harder to demonstrate selfless rather than selfish behavior. This includes a realistic look at how the candidate has handled his/her own family and interacted with the public in the past.
5 If a candidate is proposing restrictions to health care and education then that candidate is working in direct opposition to the Gospel.
6 A whole life approach to things in general. As opposed to merely “pro-life” this means an attitude that works towards solutions that make the choice for life more likely. So, things like universal child care, access to affordable health care, etc. are to be worked toward.
7 Specific to this election is a consideration of immigration. Here is what the Bible says about that: Leviticus 19:33-34: "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.” (Note that this is a direct command from God.) And in the Greek scriptures, Hebrews 13:2: "Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” What candidates and policies honor that sentiment?](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/605835 "FPC Monterey View - November 5, 2024

Less than 35% of Americans make 100K and they are NOT going to see their taxes increase at all. In fact, their taxes will be reduced for 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028 under the Harris administration.
1 in 16 Americans do NOT make 250K.
1% of Americans make 400K+.
5% of Americans make 350K+.
The GOP will only reduce taxes for the 1% and the 5% of Americans. Kamala Harris plans to make those who make over 400K pay their fair share.

Mahasen Al Khateeb, a Palestinian #digital #illustrator, used to draw children stories and teach Procreate. She skilfully painted the suffering of her people in north Gaza using her stylus. It was her only outlet from a year of pain, horror and genocide.
Today the US-backed zionist regime killed her. Rest in peace Mahasen 💔

Primero fue #EEUU que de la mano de Biden cerro la puerta a su mercado a todas las marcas desde #China, antes siquiera iniciaran su llegada (con mucha prevision), y los medios se apuraron a solo fortalecer el discurso y relato oficial: #USA sube los aranceles a la importacion de autos chinos (¿pero que autos? Cuando nunca se ha importado un solo auto desde ese pais)... entonces queda claro cual fue el objetivo... evitar que desembarcaran.

Are there other accounts from democratic politics in the #USA on the #FediVerse?
While some athletes have raved about the muffins and others have complained about the cardboard beds, some American Olympians are taking advantage of the free healthcare. Team USA rugby player Ariana Ramsey didn't just get a bronze medal in Paris — she's had a pap smear, X-ray, teeth cleaning, and an eye test. She's posted about this on TikTok, influenced other athletes in the Village to visit medical professionals, and now plans to fight for universal healthcare in the U.S. Here's more from Sports Illustrated.

The #KOSA Bill threatens to censor online content under the guise of trying to "protect the children". 🤔
The bill's vague language opens the door to dangerous legal interpretations that will do more to push censorship on the American public than protect the nation's youth. 🚫

"Friends"-Star Matthew Perry Medienberichten zufolge gestorben

„Es gab keinen Hinweis darauf, dass sie Amerikanerin war. Wir dachten alle, sie sei Irin“, berichtet ein Hoher Beamter der französischen Libération und versichert, niemand habe eine Ahnung gehabt, worüber da eigentlich abgestimmt wurde. „Wir haben erst auf Twitter herausgefunden, dass wir etwas Inakzeptables akzeptiert hatten“.

"This month, after young children were found working at a factory owned by Arkansas’s second-largest private employer, Tyson Foods, the Republican governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, signed legislation making it easier for companies to employ children – eliminating a requirement that children under 16 get a state work permit before being employed."

#Radio in the #UK just absolutely sucks!
I don't own a good #AM tuner, but I can only get one station at home around Newcastle (Greatest Hits) who don't even advertise their AM frequency any more, that's how few people use AM here.
There's only like 10 or so #FM stations. 5 of them are BBC stations including the local BBC station, most of the rest are owned by Global, and some of their stations (Metro and Heart for example) play basically the same things. Not to mention they're all syndicated. In Stirling I can get 103.1 Central FM, who I think are independent? But not in stereo.
There's a lot more choice on #DAB, but as Techmoan has covered before, the bitrates and formats DAB use is so low that it's utter rubbish to listen to compared to FM.
And of course there's #InternetRadio, but where's the fun in that? And what'll you do when you suddenly lose cellular connectivity?
Meanwhile Vwestlife in #NJ, #USA can DX all this at night, just on AM! youtu.be/F1j9L9rstws

Strengthening digital infrastructure: A policy agenda for FOSS
"A @EU_Commission sponsored report found that in 2018, #EU companies invested roughly €1 billion into #FOSS creation, which resulted in up to a €95 billion benefit for FOSS users in the EU. Similar estimates for the #USA investment in FOSS were $33 billion in 2019. However, despite these attempts we have only scratched the surface of truly understanding the value FOSS provides to the economy and modern life"

What does Turkey demand from the USA?
Precisely because these countries were not in NATO, the #CIA had parked the PKK people in #Sweden and #Finland.
Turkey is only using the #PKK as an excuse to say no directly. Rather, it is about lifting sanctions for acquiring #S400 defense systems and rejoining the #F35 program, acquiring modern #F16 fighter jets and that the #EU and #USA don't keep coming up with some new punitive measures.
So #Turkey is about erasing all repression.
