https://toad.social/@KimPerales/113379855947387215 KimPerales@toad.social - JD Vance: “Democratic opponents pose ‘bigger threat' than Russia and China."
Vance, who’d soon succeed #TFG, if he wins, would also rule America as a fascist.
“Listen to what he is saying. In the Fascist tradition, Vance considers the democratic political opposition of his own country an enemy force to be defeated. Ending US democracy is a win for foreign autocracy, and he makes sure Russia and China know his allegiances.”
-R Ben-Ghiat

NO MORE NEW KERNELs produced here
For as long as the hypocritical intervention of the US government into Free Open Software lasts
Basically the problem lies with the tolerance of the FOSS community to allow government intervention to what is called free and open among people of this planet despite of their origin, nationality, residence, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual origin, religious affiliation or lack there of, and by this tolerance are allowing those in power to take action against the powerless.
In support and #solidarity to ALL US residents who will continue to use, run, produce, contribute to FOSS despite of the legality their government is trying to impose. If they discontinue using it that wouldn't be either free or open.

Glenn Greenwald on X: "This is hilarious. CNN every day pretends they and the Dem Party are the sole defenders of democratic values. When an intruder points out that Kamala received zero votes to become the Dem nominee (other than Obama and Pelosi's), they all go wild about how it doesn't matter:" / X
A quotation from Roosevelt, Theodore
If the man works for evil, then the more successful he is the more he should be despised and condemned by all upright and farseeing men. To judge a man merely by success is an abhorrent wrong; and if the people at large habitually so judge men, if they grow to condone wickedness because the wicked man triumphs, they show their inability to understand that in the last analysis free institutions rest upon the character of citizenship, and that by such admiration of evil they prove themselves unfit for liberty.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris

Von der Leyen's authoritarian plot - UnHerd
Dismantle the beast. Jail the kraut witch.
Over the past 15 years, the Commission has exploited Europe’s “permacrisis” to radically, yet surreptitiously, increase its influence over areas of competence that were previously deemed to be the preserve of national governments — from financial budgets and health policy to foreign affairs and defence. As a result, the EU, through the Commission, has effectively become a quasi-dictatorial sovereign power with the authority to impose its agenda on member states and their citizens, regardless of their democratic aspirations. This “competence coup” reached new heights under the first presidency of Ursula von der Leyen (2019-2024), in response to the Covid-19 and Ukraine crises — and is now on the verge of being institutionalised with her second term.
In many respects, the feeling is that the EU has definitively entered its late-Soviet stage. Faced with the bloc’s societal and economic breakdown, escalating geopolitical crises, collapsing democratic legitimacy and mounting “populist” uprisings, Europe’s political-economic elites have chosen to declare all-out war on what is left of democracy and national sovereignties.

How Project 2025 would end American Democracy
(not just that, but the actual how):
At about the 6 minute mark, Cohen talks about one of the implications of Project 2025: Trump appointees would be in charge of verifying elections. No vote against MAGA would count. This is a key mechanism the MAGAts would use to permanently end Democracy in America.
#PACE hearing on Julian #Assange's #detention and conviction and their chilling effects on human rights
watch: https://www.youtube.com/live/Mq85IZMeigc?t=746s
It is a shame for Western democracy that neither #Sweden nor the #UK have a review and a committee of inquiry into the failure of justice and US interference in the supposedly independent judiciary in the Assange case. Unfortunately, many politicians in Western Europe believe that human rights are only violated in Russia, China or Afghanistan, but not on their own doorstep. Distracted by the many crises and the rise of far-right parties, Europe is heading straight into diabolical chaos 😱

Elon Musk, world's richest man, is offering $47 to every person who signs this petition - The Economic Times https://m.economictimes.com/news/international/world-news/elon-musk-worlds-richest-man-is-offering-47-to-every-person-who-signs-this-petition/articleshow/114006020.cms
That's why a #democracy can't afford #billionaires. Even millionaires are problematic, if they have too many of those millions. So he wants a million people to sign his petition. Each gets USD 47. (Why not 50? So cheap?) While you and I will never have 47 millions, for him it's small change. When he coughs, his companies lose way more than 47m.
But I think it's the first time someone is that openly buying votes. The best democracy money can buy...
Elon #Musk makes his first appearance at a #Trump #rally and casts the #election in dire terms
Before a large crowd Saturday, Musk sought to portray Trump as a champion of free speech, arguing that Democrats want “to take away your #freedom of speech, they want to take away your right to bear arms, they want to take away your right to vote, effectively.” Musk went on to criticize a California effort to ban voter ID requirements.

End the Chaos of First Past the Post (FPTP)
Think we get the governments we voted for?
Think again. We haven’t had a single party government the majority voted for since the 1930s. First Past the Post means millions of our votes make no difference to parliament.
No party has won a majority of the #vote in almost a century, yet due to the voting system we have near-constant single party governments setting the rules for everyone. Our parliaments never represent the views of the public
