No surprise, it seems many love echo chambers and self-censorship.

I do not limit myself to only reading, watching, or learning about what I agree with.

government and military talking points

continue to push for regime change and aggression

Our government and our military will always have an excuse to push for more wars.

We are doing much worse things than what other nations are doing, the only difference is that everyone has a phone and can share the videos and images of what we are doing and funding around the world.

We do not have the excuse of not seeing the images and videos being shared in social media.

They’re obviously massively different situations

I agree with that.

Cornel West is okay with genocide

I don't think we will agree on this topic; Cornel West does not believe the government and military talking points around Ukraine.

I make it a priority to try and follow the military leaks and whistleblowers that helped call out the lies of our nation. I see why people are waking up to the reality of US imperialism, where we continue to push for more forever wars, Ukraine and Israel being examples. 

When you compare what is happening to the Palestinian people versus the Ukrainian people, you are downplaying the Palestinian genocide.

Looking at the history and the causes of escalation, they are not the same.

Ukraine is a pawn of the US and NATO, which is only used to continue to push for regime change and aggression toward Russia.

Ukraine is much more similar to Israel in that the US gives them unlimited military support so as to continue aggression against the nations around them and push for more forever wars.

Summary

1. OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a citizen-generated mapping platform that allows individuals to contribute geographic information.
2. OSM contrasts with commercial mapping services like Google Maps, which restrict access to their raw data.
3. The platform emerged from the need for open-license map data, with volunteers mapping areas using GPS units.
4. OSM has significant detail in places like London, but global coverage can be uneven.
5. Humanitarian efforts have utilized OSM, especially during crises such as the Haiti earthquake, where volunteers mapped affected areas for relief efforts.
6. OSM mapping helped organizations correlate patient origins with specific neighborhoods to address medical needs.
7. The platform continues to be used in various humanitarian crises, promoting on-the-ground surveys and local community involvement.
8. Monthly mapathons in cities like London engage volunteers in tracking satellite imagery to enhance mapping efforts.
9. OSM provides a valuable resource for developers and businesses, fostering opportunities in organizing and presenting open data.
10. The platform encourages the sharing of open data rather than hindering access to information.

I disagree. 

She is already willingly writing about her day; she is ahead of many when looking at our educational system. 

Her writing and grammar can improve a bit, but what a wonderful start she had!

He is staying on ballots on most states, except for the 10 swing states.

He is removing himself from 10 swing states.

Posted his Live speech currently ongoing.

He will stay on other states.

Nice try with the Russiaphobia.

I don't think it works though, you are just joining in on the circle jerk.

Thanks!

Posted live speech happening now.

He dropped out of Pennsylvania ballot, per Sabby Sabs.

Edit: update

He said he is removing himself from the ten battle states, swing states.

false equivalency

power that the Vice president

VP is useless position then, no influence whatsoever.

listen to President Biden

Force ceasefire and stop supporting funding of genocides, Israel is done without US backing.

I guess you will also say president has no power...

edgy sounding

Interesting.

Trump and Harris are both evil.

They will continue the status quo.

Things not healthy for society.

I would also add: The owner-class (and their lackeys), war, and genocide.

What a Catastrophe!

I think people just like showing off their pets.

Always a blast with US politicians, while the duopoly happily funds more forever wars and genocides.

Democratic National Convention Pete Buttigieg Compares JD Vance With Mike Pence: At Least 'Pence Was Polite'

In response to the criticism, the Ohio senator insisted that he was being sarcastic and has “nothing against cats,” but he then urged people to “pray for those people” who did not birth children. The vice presidential nominee has made other offensive comments about childless people, such as saying that not having children “makes people more sociopathic.”

From watching and reading independent journalists, owner-class media, and more, it seems, IIRC, a good amount of his supporters are for Trump.

It would help third parties if they left the duopoly, though.

VP Harris has done nothing to stop the bombing and funding of Israel; Trump will continue the status quo. 

They both talk, but it is just more pandering to the working class.

I am not for Trump or Harris, so I see no reason to defend or try to showcase the lesser evil, while both are undeniably evil, IMO.
