Poco fiables – Santiago Galicia Rojon Serrallonga

Rogar, impresionarse por lo que alguien posee -apariencia física, dinero, poder, conocimiento, residencias, vehículos de lujo, yates-, adular y someterse a los caprichos e intereses de otros a cambio de obtener algún beneficio, es una ecuación obtusa que, finalmente, presenta resultados nada fiables, erróneos, con la grave pérdida de dignidad, abandono en el camino maltrecho de lo que uno es, y renuncia a la esencia, la voluntad, el talento, la sensibilidad, los ideales, la originalidad, los valores y la libertad. Quien practica tales conductas, se rebaja y es indigno de confianza e incapaz de traicionar a cualquier persona. El reto que tenemos, en la hora contemporánea, es participar con responsabilidad y talento en la construcción de seres humanos auténticos, leales, educados, libres y plenos, incapaces de recurrir a prácticas indignas. Necesitamos hombres y mujeres completos, respetuosos y genuinos.

UAW members support Harris over Trump by 22 points in swing states – poll | US elections 2024 | The Guardian

United Auto Workers (UAW) members in the battleground states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada support the presidential candidate Kamala Harris over Donald Trump by 22 points, according to a poll conducted by the union.

UAW members in Michigan – the center of the US auto industry – support Harris over Trump by 20 percentage points, with 54% supporting Harris over 34% supporting Trump, the poll found. The union claimed in 2020 that UAW members accounted for 84% of Biden’s margin of victory in Michigan.

The poll also found that support among non-college-educated men – a key demographic where Harris has been lagging – gave Harris a 14-point margin over Trump.

Harris ad features Texas woman who nearly died amid strict abortion ban – Los Angeles Times

A new series of Kamala Harris campaign ads seek to highlight increasingly perilous medical care for women since the fall of Roe vs. Wade by telling the story of a Texas woman who got a life-threatening infection when she couldn’t get proper treatment after she miscarried and how she may no longer be able to have children.

In one ad, the woman identified only as Ondrea details how excited she was to have a girl only to find out that the baby wouldn’t survive after her water broke too early. She was denied an abortion and eventually went into labor. “Immediately after her birth, I was in the worst pain of my life,” she says, as she and her husband are pictured in her living room near a framed photo of the baby’s ultrasound. She then developed sepsis, a life-threatening complication.

The ad is part of a final push by the Democratic nominee to highlight how medical care has grown increasingly unstable for pregnant women — including for those who never intended to end a pregnancy — since three justices appointed to the Supreme Court by then-President Trump helped overturn abortion rights.

Bill Gates says privately he donated $50m to Kamala Harris campaign – report | US elections 2024 | The Guardian

Bill Gates has reportedly said privately that he recently donated $50m to a non-profit organization supporting Kamala Harris’s US presidential run, remarking: “This election is different”.

Three people briefed on the matter told the New York Times: “The donation was meant to stay under wraps.”

Such a donation would mark a significant shift for the billionaire and Microsoft co-founder, who has historically steered clear of publicly taking political stances.

In private calls this year to friends, Gates, who has not publicly endorsed Harris and does not have a deep relationship with her, has reportedly “expressed concern about what a second Donald Trump presidency would look like,” a source familiar with the matter told the New York Times.
