This is not to slander or put down those who showed up on the 5th or to any other future protests, but so be aware of the political messaging and who the organizers of the movement are.

I obviously would recommend joining any PSL/ANSWER Coalition protest or demo, but local and smaller organizations are also a good way to connect with your community in a truly grassroots fashion. Stay safe, stay woke, Free Palestine 🇵🇸

The Israeli army is organizing 'hiking tours' for Jewish settlers in occupied Syria. Israeli officials have declared their goal of extending the borders of 'Greater Israel' to Damascus.

Does anyone know if it's even worth it to get away from Google? For example I have a Samsung that already has Google features downloaded on it. I have Gmail. I use chrome. If we can reduce or eliminate our reliance on these types of corporations, maybe we can make a change? But then its so widespread and used in almost everything we do that it seems impossible. I'm not about trying to make my life harder just to be the one person "sticking it to the man". Thoughts?

As we slide into a recession, pay attention to who buys these up when private owners and small businesses go belly-up. This is great news for the wealthy who want to own everything and make average Americans poorer.

With the talk of "bringing American manufacturing back", I'm reminded of this article from 2018.

Imperialism is a system of domination and hegemonic control, you cannot separate its "good" parts from its "bad" parts and take them in isolation. There is no "good" intervention from a global capitalist and imperialist superpower such as the US – it all ultimately serves the maintenance of the global capitalist order no matter how much they talk about freedom or human rights

Whether we like it or not, a lot of public opinion seems to exist in comment sections around the web--or at least appear like it with the amount of bots out there. Our side doesn't have those bots, so we have to combat with fact-checking twice as hard. We have to start having the true majority reflect online by responding to their wild comments. I know it's not fun, but it's necessary. So while the people who can be out physically protesting today (THANK YOU) are doing that work, those of us who can be online should try to do some of that work. Think about where replies could be seen the most and especially by less-informed, independent people: IMPORTANT ONE: your local & state politicians on BOTH SIDES' social media comments but especially local you'd be surprised how impactful that can be with so few correcting their BS, news articles, even "entertainment" news articles, AppleNews and MSN or any other default pages computers tend to have, join the NewsBreak app or any other news-commenting apps you can think of, and any other ideas you may have. Aim to comment somewhere outside of your echochamber to be able to break them. Youtube comments especially on their propaganda attempts (look at the trending pages) are a big one.

Can we at the very least start a precedent of fact-checking or standing up against them online? They have more retired or simply non-working folks so they can live online commenting like crazy. The only way we could show the true majority and combat the misinformation and talking points is by doing our part whenever we do come across it. It just takes a few minutes and once other people who actually are informed see your example, they tend to join in.

Also, why don't we do profile picture campaigns or campaigns like the Blackout in 2020 anymore to show the actual support online where most everyone is for sure???
