    Actually, that isn't true (technically *maybe*, assuming #Nader voters showed up to vote for #Gore.)

    Let's focus on the TRUE cause: The brother of the #GOP nominee was the governor of Florida. The two of them exchanged "convict lists" to kick anyone with a "similar" name convicted of a crime off the voter roles (despite no evidence Texas convicts had voted in Florida.

    Some 60,000 black & Hispanic voters were kicked off the voter roles.

    Yup #Kinzinger also falls into that category. My #politics are more center left and don’t align with these folks but I admire their steadfast refusal to compromise with #Trump. Would that there were more that had character.

    What is left of the #GOP is a bunch of sycophants who deserved to be dropped into the ‘Profiles In Cowardice’ category

    It all depends on the level of details you want to add.

    I start off with #ArmChairMapping and once have grabbed most major objects like buildings and landcover. Then I go to the streets to add more details like the values of the buildings and/or addresses.

    #StreetComplete permits notes, though prefer to use #OsmAnd instead where I have created a set of quick actions to speed up the process. #EveryDoor in another favorite under #MicroMapping.

    Huge regions of earth will become uninhabitable , e.g. the northern part of South America and Africa. B/w 300 mn and 2 bn climate refugees will be on the move. There simply is no way that civilization will break down if that happens.

    b) The #US are inexorably moving towards a #PoliceState, at least in the states that have #LEOBRs, if you also factor in the #surveillance by the various #intelligence agencies.
    You don't even need to keep in mind the #Conservative #Project2025 playbook, the #GQP draft version of #Hitler's #Ermächtigungsgesetz*(#NS #EnablingAct of 1933), to see that trend.

    Litigation is a huge issue in the #US. Penalties often are astronomical seen from an international perspective. Also, malfeasance by police officers including #RacialProfiling and l, IMO, #PredictivePolicing seem to be much more frequent, maybe just more reported.

    However, my bottom line is that
    a) #SystemicRacism will never be overcome w/o abolishing #LEOBR|s. Police officers are nothing but citizens in uniform. They're no animals more...

    death knell of the #AmericanExperiment, at the very least for a couple of years, I fear...

    It enabled the oligarch takeover of the US. Now, they are now trying the same thing in #Canada and #Europe. 2)

    Furthermore, the #US might find itself in #UK type "splendid isolation" pretty soon. Several #EU analysts have interpreted #JDVance's speech at the #MSC last Friday as a probable beginning of the end of #NATO.

    #TrumpCould #MexicanBorder

    Oh, and yes, the idea of closing the Mexican border even predates #Reagan:

    "#Nixon [#OperationIntercept] and #Reagan [#OperationInterceptII]tried closing the border to pressure Mexico – here’s what happened..."

    "Although the border was reopened within a matter of days, once again, the shutdown severely hurt the border economy – as well as relations between the two countries."

  16. @philip observes that Something Good is happening to Melbourne's cycling levels. We are on track to see the highest number of cyclists since at least the lockdowns... The number of people riding on St Kilda Road has more than doubled. It goes to show how effective just one relatively small piece of infrastructure can be.

    ...seen in the West, as society is much more homogenous (I am aware of the big social divide b/w cities and the countryside, but still).

    This as a starting point for #China.

    (I can really recommend #TheEconomist's podcast series on China, like #DrumTower and the biography of President #Xi.)
