What a world. #Capitalism "externalizes" costs to the point where the costs are "externalized" into our own bodies.

it's #WorldDayAgainstCyberCensorship and did you know that you can help keep people safer—people like freedom fighters, political dissidents, journalists, and regular people simply seeking medical information or services, like abortions, HRT, sex ed, therapy, or psychiatric medications—by becoming a @torproject Snowflake?

you can even run it in your browser or on your phone via @guardianproject's Orbot app

here's an explainer by @eff:

if not now, when? Mutual aid and organizing in the fediverses and the ATmosphere

https://privacy.thenexus.today/if-not-now-when/

Mutual aid. Organizing. Sharing, contextualizing, and making meaning of news and health information to counter propaganda and information overload. The use cases for alternative social networks – not controlled by techbro white supremacist CEO's working with their cronies in authoritarian governments – practically write themselves in today's world. And with so many talented social scientists, designers, systems thinkers, and developers directly impacted by DOGE, MAGA, et al, there are a lot of people with the right skills for these new networks to make rapid progress.

The good news is there's a lot of promising work happening in the decentralized social media ecosystems known as the fediverses ("federated universes") and the ATmosphere (a fediverse built on Bluesky's AT protocol), including DAIR-tube, Blacksky, the #FreeFediverse, and more.

Still, as promising as these efforts are, there's still a long ways to go.

An election may be called any day – can you help make sure that #2SLGBTQIA+ issues are presented to candidates and help deliver flyers or other assistance?

we take each other and our resistance seriously, right?

so for everyone's sake, when it comes to protests / demos / actions, please:

wear a mask (N95 or similar, with or without neck gaiter)

cover your face (forehead, eyes) and any identifying marks (hair color, tattoos, piercings, body mods, logos)

avoid arrest by any means necessary (so long as it doesn't jeopardize the safety of others)

don't discuss or post about your involvement with any related organizing or association with any organizations

never sign up for anything, ever (lists can be subpoenaed and used against us

scrub faces from imagery (stills, footage)

refuse to boost posts that include sensitive information about anyone involved (names, neighborhood, address, place of work), including visible identifying marks in imagery (faces, tattoos)

for more anti-repression and anti-doxxing strategies

If you want to get a group of people to do something you don't need to ask who is not interested. You can just ask who wants to do it and organize among them.

You don't need votes if you aren't using hierarchy to force everyone to be involved

I updated this post again. I added in information on necrosecurity, which is what was used during Covid19 to spread disinformation about Covid and normalize mass death of vulnerable populations as a "public good."

I added in other harmful actions DOGE-TrumpoMusk has done and the consequences of those actions. This includes the incoming firings to SSA, which can have a devastating effect on vulnerable populations and the services we use.

I then updated the action items and organized them better:

Hi all, I did another update and reorganized the action items people can do to make it easier to navigate: https://reshapingreality.org/2025/02/05/what-were-up-against-and-where-to-go-from-here/

If y'all think of more resources, let me know and I'll update this again!
