#PSA #Misinformation Warning for the #USIn the next 9 hours, Donald Trump will declare Victory Preemptively.THIS WILL BE FALSE: the votes will not be anywhere NEAR counted enough to make any calls until at least tomorrow, and possibly DAYS from now.He will make claims like that there are "fake votes" or that things are "rigged', and will likely make statements which his more extreme supports may interpret as calls for violence. We may see people on this network spamming or harassing people.KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON.Election Results are not counted until after the polls close, take a while to carefully check, and are thoroughly vetted on multiple levels by numerous groups both in and out of government.Do not panic, do not spread Misinformation.Vote in the election if you are a US Citizen: your vote will likely decide some major things.Let's get through this together.- TechHub #Moderation

#WhiteSupremacists: spend huge amounts of money to enslave black people and bring them to #Georgia.Descendents of said Black People: Vote to give Georgia to #Biden in 2020, and may give it to #Harris in 2024.White Supremacists:#USPol

Do not let optimistic pollsters fool you into thinking this election is already won: the majority of votes that will be cast are going to be cast today, and we are down to the fucking wire.The #2024election will decide whether the #US remains a stable democracy, or devolves into some sort of crazy white supremacist fascist thing.This is too important to think you don't need to go out and vote, or to #protest the obvious flaws of the two-party system with a #ThirdParty vote that won't stop Trump from getting elected. Even if you aren't excited about Kamala Harris herself, we need her to win.So many states are on the line, and any one of them could be the one that tips it to Kamala Harris, and yours may well be one of them. Hell, #Texas, #Florida, #Alaska, and #Iowa are seeing some surprisingly close numbers. Don't let #WhiteSupremacists and #fascists make this decision for you. Go out and outvote them.Get your friends to vote.Today is the final day, and we don't get another shot at this.

@marklevinenycKamala Harris is a great candidate. The enthusiasm for her is palpable, even outside her rallies, which is something Donald Trump doesn't have. It's close, because there's a lot of people to whom the fascist / white supremacist argument really appeals to, but this massive enthusiasm Gap is what makes me think we can win this thing, if we just keep the pressure on.Let's get people out to vote!

@snow @loganerI doubt we will, no matter who is elected, just because Trump is so unhinged, and willing to rile up his followers...But we will have a transition of power, nonetheless, and at the end of the day, Trump's supporters do not actually have the enthusiasm to violently overthrow the democracy. That's why he's going through this election cycle trying to win it rather than just demanding he be made a dictator.If we want this to stop, we have to stop it here, by voting for Kamala Harris.

#PSA Regular reminder that...#Israel has existed long enough to have families whose #immigrant ancestors have all died of old age, and most #Israelis are from the #MiddleEast, while many of the #Jews who immigrated were fleeing persecution campaigns like the #Holocaust, and don't have anywhere else to go.They exist, have a right to exist, and aren't realistically going anywhere. #Palestine has existed for thousands of years, the vast majority of #Palestinian families have been there for so long there is no longer a clear record of when they got there, but genetic testing has shown that the typical Palestinian is descended from #Jewish people.They exist, have a right to exist, and aren't realistically going anywhere. The solution to the #IsraeliPalestinianConflict is to get past the violence, and get them to live in their shared region in #peace.Anyone who says otherwise is #racist / #antisemetic / #islamophobic, and advocating #genocide, and their input should be rejected for it.#misinformation

@jztuskDon't cry. Get the word out, get active, go vote, and get your friends to vote too.We can get through this, working together.

@irisThe fuck did I just watch

If I seem like I keep getting negative about all these #polls about Kamala #Harris, it's mainly because we are within the 11th hour on this #election, and tomorrow is going to be the biggest day of it. I really don't want people to get complacent, like #HillaryClinton supporters were in 2016 when people like me were sitting there telling them "you don't have the votes." But they seemed to think they had it in the bag.By all indications, this thing is very close right now, and we need to act, not on a few polls that may not even be accurate, but on the idea that any #votes we can get for her in the next 24 hours are going to be important.#USpol

#PSAReminder to everyone in the #US to get your documentation together in the next 48 hours.Donald Trump will declare victory tomorrow night, and whether he wins it or not, there's going to be a lot of chaos. If he does win, it will be imperative for every #American to have proper documentation ready: fascist governments often put in serious hurdles for anyone who doesn't have their papers, and it could get very hard to get them after the election.This is especially true if you are a member of a #marginalized group, especially when he is targeting like #queer, #hispanic, #muslim, #palestinian, or #jewish people.Be sure to make sure you have a copy of your #SocialSecurity Card and #BirthCertificate.Do not wait to get your papers together.Be safe. Be prepared.

Just a reminder to everyone that #Doxxing other users is against the #rules of pretty much all major #instances of the #Fediverse. Doing so will almost always result in a #ban.If you keep trying to make new accounts for #BanEvasion, we have ways to escalate that.- #TechHub #Moderation

And major example of one of those responses, #Netanyahu is still in office, and the victor is going to determine whether the response to that will be pressuring Kamala Harris to force Netanyahu into a #ceasefire before she officially takes office, or evacuating as many at-risk civilians as possible from #Palestine, #Israel, and the #US before Trump takes office, because let's face it, if he wins, it's not just #Gaza: the #Palestinians have no chance under him.

A "fun" part of every election season is getting to see #JillStein pop up like a groundhog, claim she's an "#activist" and that the #TwoParty system hasn't made her completely unviable, then disappear for another three and a half years well the rest of us put in the work to make #ThirdParty candidates viable.And golly, the companies putting out pollution sure do pay her well.

@Raccoon As I look at the places I still consume corporate social media and what I get for that, I and absolutely knocked over with gratitude that this place exists and I have a social network of interest and connection. It truly is radical.

@Doreen32128Same here! Very excited to have voted for Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, along with most of the people I know! It's time to get the billionaire out of our senate seat!

@FuturistI really should thank all the #Europeans who've sent us messages of support. I feel like we've been trying to drag a lot of the #US users to the polls at this point, because they seem to not understand the scope or gravity of what losing would mean, but everyone from #Europe seems to get that there are stakes here.So thanks, the encouraging comments are really appreciated.

@gwmBecause he's notorious in political conversations on here for being incredibly combative and posting a LOT.

My Mail-in Ballot has been counted!That's one more vote for Kamala Harris and Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in Rural Florida! #2024Election #KamalaHarris #Harris

@theinformationGood time to remind people that Trump actually went after a lot of the smaller players in the tech industry, even putting people in charge who created a battle over #NetNeutrality and #censorship. The chaos he creates will be bad for the economy in general, but could be devastating to the American #tech industry.

#Gaza News:Biden Administration finally laying down a red line for the #Netanyahu regime: deescalate the attacks on #Palestine, or face suspension of military aid. This comes, as expected, after the death of Sinwar, the stated goal of the Biden administration's involvement in a military operation rife with #WarCrimes, which many consider attempted #genocide by the Netanyahu regime.While we don't know what change Biden will accept, nor what the consequences will actually be, the situation in Gaza now hinges on the US election: if Harris wins, Netanyahu faces a much more aggressive critic than Biden, but, in the words of one official, "If Trump wins, I guess the Israeli response will say F-You". Trump, an #islamophobic racist, has promised larger bombs and to allow the annexation of not only Gaza, but the #WestBank and parts of #Lebanon.The question remains: will the #uncommitted "#GenocideJoe" movement turn out to save #Palestinian lives by voting for Kamala Harris?https://www.axios.com/2024/11/01/gaza-humanitarian-crisis-israel-us-pressure
