Instagram, it's the CATA account (coalition against trump)
There's something about people trying to resist in platforms that are trying to prevent resistance and I don't know what it is yet.
Have you ever tried to organize anything? Gotta meet people where they're at.
I hate using FB/IG so much but that's where people are and where the message will be seen. 🤷♀️
are they being seen?
given the small turn outs for anything besides the billionaire funded protests; it seems like only a little bit is slipping through the cracks in the algorithm.
Majority of people aren't willing to go to these smaller actions, for a variety of reasons (childcare, work, location, safety, whatever).
By all means share these where you think people will see them. im not even sharing all of them since I can't keep up, but Im doing my best
doing our best is anything anyone can do and i suspect that the trend of billionaires being the only ones to successfully break through the censorship algorithms & controlled narratives to reach the masses will end up the same way that the democrats shift the overton window to the right; by capturing & co-opting all leftward fervor and, in effect, move everyone to the right nevertheless.
it all makes me wonder how far we're willing to let capitalism's inherent contradictions go since we're already nearly averaging 2 mass shootings per day; we now have more empty houses than homeless people; we have dozens per month dying at the hands on insurance companies from preventable sicknesses; hundreds getting killed by the police; and thousands annually maimed/killed by needless political violence by the american military industrial complex are clearly not impetus enough for us to take action unless it done by the same billionaires that put us in this position to begin with.
all of it is entirely thanks to the propaganda that we swallow since birth and the manufactured consent that comes from both legacy & social media and those are the same avenues that most are trying to affect change; ineffectively it seems, if not done by the same oligarchy we're trying to fight.
