If your vote wasn't important, Musk wouldn't already have spent almost $400-million on the US midterm elections to shout it down.
By the time all his political donations are counted, Musk will likely have spent nearly half a billion dollars to advance fascism in the US.

i joined social media on #bluesky after the election to be part of the #Resistance against this fascist regime. after being kicked off for celebrating the death of a racist, fascist bigot, i decided #bsky is less the home of the resistance than a refuge for appeasers (certainly compared to #Mastodon)
but they're nowhere close to the fascists at #Meta (those of you on #threads & #instagram)
but i 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘺 disagree that "most Americans are good people." that fantasy died Nov 5, 2024

The reason I posted this yesterday is that I suspended hundreds of accounts, just as @jerry did. And other moderators as well.
Important: this is NOT an issue with Mastodon. Or the fediverse. It’s a common thing that happens when passwords are compromised and folks use the same ones for many or all of their online accounts. Mastodon is simply one of the targets at the moment.
For server admins, Jerry has a script that will reset passwords on dormant accounts. I highly recommend running this on your instance.

@markwyner : in addition,
— At least on Android and iOS/iPadOS devices, configure your OS and password manager to use AutoFill. This helps prevent phishing via fake websites (often using a slightly different domain name, while the login page looks identical to the one on the real website). See the screenshot below (additional details in the Alt text).
— Important: when using AutoFill, if no credentials pop up from your password manager, don't start looking in the database itself like Troy Hunt did by mistake (https://www.troyhunt.com/a-sneaky-phish-just-grabbed-my-mailchimp-mailing-list/).
— Make a backup of your password manager database after each change. Preferable have multiple backups, at least one offline.
— Configure your browser to always warn for http (instead of https) connections.
— When using unique strong passwords, don't use weak 2FA/MFA. The advantage is negligeable while the risk of account lockout (caused by loss of the second factor) is huge. In particular TOTP sucks; most "Authenticator" apps are insecure privacy-risky stupid password managers without phishing resistance.

Talk to your friends.
Talk to dog pals in the dog park.
Talk to neighbours you feel safe with.
If you find MAGA save your time and move on.
Spend your time talking to rational people.
Make sure they have checked their voter registration.
Check in and encourage them to vote.
Repeat as needed.

this is happening in #Brazil too. they're closing official accounts for "unusual activity" when in reality we all know it's to try to stop true #democracy from succeeding.
They will fail. -
What we’re up against in the U.S. during this election.
Yesterday:
1. Meta closed the No Kings accounts on the day of the protest. Restored them later, saying “our bad.” But did not restore admin privileges.
2. We learned that millions of people had no idea about the protests because Meta suppressed posts about it.
3. Bluesky closed the @DemocracyMattersALot account for “unusual activity.” (No idea if it has been restored.)
And for months we’ve been watching the fascists do everything in their power to restrict voting rights.
The billionaires know they’re the minority. Not economically (which is obvious) but ethically. Otherwise they wouldn’t be working so hard to stop democracy.
I wanna believe most Americans are good people. We’re fighting for what’s right. But our enemy has massive resources and control. That what we need to quell.
Keep fighting. Stay vigilant. And for fuck’s sake, vote!

Y’all! Please, please, please use appropriate passwords. We’re seeing a big spam campaign across the fediverse, using hacked accounts.
First, change your fediverse password. Especially if it’s reused elsewhere, short/weak, or really old.
Then, here are some simple steps to protect you and your accounts:
1. Never reuse passwords. Use a password manager so you’ll only have to remember one password.
2. Make sure your passwords are secure. They should be 12+ characters with at least one capital letter and one special character. Good password managers have a generator built-in.
3. Set-up multi-factor authentication (MFA/2FA).
4. Use passkeys wherever possible.
If you need help, ask someone. Folks who know will help.

Illegal Alien from the Philippines Arrested by ICE for Secretly Filming Undressed People
In a press release by Homeland Security, it was announced that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more of the worst-of-the-worst illegal aliens whose acts were very despicable and disturbing. What caught my attention is the arrest of a Filipino illegal alien over the crime of videotaping undressed persons without consent and already he is in the news.
To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the news report of the Manila Standard. Some parts in boldface…
A 21-year-old Filipino national illegally residing in the United States was arrested by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after being convicted of two counts of videotaping undressed persons without consent.
In a press release, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Joshua Gabriel Car Hombrebueno was taken into the custody of ICE, following his detention at the William G. Truesdale Alexandria Adult Detention Center in Alexandria, Virginia.
ICE listed Hombrebueno as part of its “Worst of the Worst” list on October 13, alongside four other convicted individuals from El Salvador, Mexico, and Guatemala.
“Yesterday, the brave men and women of ICE arrested pedophiles, sexual predators, domestic assailants, and other public safety threats from our communities,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.
The department cited Hombrebueno as an “illegal” individual in the US.
A report from the official City of Alexandria, Virginia website states that the 21-year-old’s case goes back to Sept. 20, 2025, when a mother and her three-year-old daughter reported a phone’s camera recording inside the employee bathroom restroom.
“Upon investigation, Alexandria Police Department (APD) detectives recovered a recording depicting multiple victims, including both adults and children, who were unknowingly recorded while using the restroom,” the statement read.
According to the APD, a search of the device pursuant to a search warrant revealed several other victims, including children and adults.
After being identified, the victims expressed their willingness to file charges against Hombrebueno, who was then 20 years old and working at a French bakery.
Following a sex offense investigation involving hidden-camera recordings inside the restaurant’s employee restroom, the APD filed three felony counts and nine misdemeanor counts of unlawful creation of an image of another person.
“Hombrebueno, through legal counsel, turned himself in to Detective Quint earlier today, and the arrest warrant was served without incident,” the statement read.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you support ICE’s efforts on finding and arresting the worst-of-the-worst among the many illegal aliens/immigrants in the United States? Are there many illegal aliens/immigrants living in your local community right now? Do you think Hombrebueno is destined to be deported?
