“…no amount of posting or passive info consumption is going to substitute the hard, unsexy work of organizing”
I would argue that sick & disabled folks have used social media to organize and mobilize. Some of us can’t protest in the streets or meet in person but we made a difference

You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism
Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them, Janus Rose writes.

Trump already empowering the worst bosses to just.. ignore labor law.
Whole Foods workers won their union vote, and now Whole Foods (owned by Jeff Bezos) is saying they simply won't recognize the vote because nobody is going to make them.

Turns out AI actually stands for Automating Inequality (which is also the name of an excellent, prescient book by Virginia Eubanks about how tech has long been strategically deployed to gut public welfare)

Everyone blaming the people who didn’t vote/for Harris because of the genocide should absolutely shut the fuck up after reading this because the Harris campaign actively refused to campaign for their votes and that’s a campaign problem not a voter problem
NEW: A Harris campaign organizer says senior officials ordered them to erase voters who asked about Gaza—marking emails as “no response” so they’d be removed from outreach. No engagement, no persuasion, just ignored. “The only clowns are the ones who decided to abdicate on this.”

If you are out making your voice heard en masse, remember that "masse" means it doesn't matter that it's you, specifically. Protect everyone by making yourself indistinguishable from your comrades, don't bring your phone, and write your emergency contact numbers on your skin. We take care of us.

Hamas quickly denied the reports, calling them “baseless” and a “pressure tactic.” This denial was reported in the western press as early as November 8, but it was largely dismissed. For an example, see how CNN handled the story.
