The #media hid the really good about President Biden and VP Harris.

Poll found many voters pointed to the economy as one of the top reasons why Harris lost, but another main one according to voters was because she is a woman.

Ballot initiatives on transit won big this November, with measures passing in 19 communities across the country!

This brings the total amount of funding raised by transit initiatives in 2024 to $25 billion. These wins not only reflect ubiquitous support for better public transit, but are important steps toward decarbonizing the transportation sector, meeting U.S. climate goals, and shaping thriving communities. #transport #transportation #election #election2024 https://www.supplychainbrain.com/articles/40686-subways-buses-and-bike-lanes-scored-billions-in-local-ballot-wins

There is no war but #ClassWar .
Remember, defending #marginalized communities is PART of the class war, because the false outrage against them created by #rightwing #media helps the #Oligarchs, as evidenced plainly by the last #election.

66000 fake accounts, 10 million fake followers on TikTok alone.

The massive scale of the #election #manipulation attack #Russia pulled off in #Romania has been revealed.

This is what happens when platforms have no accountability or transparency. There are no defences, nada. Everything is lies. Far-right, pro-Russia get elected, democracy dies.

Coming to your country’s election next.

#nafo is here to help, but Russia has tens of billions of dollars in the game.. 🙄

There are those in new #media who do good work…

“….but they are surrounded by a clamorous sea of #partisans who operate under new & diff rules.
Flaunt your bias, get cozy w/your subjects, & don’t harsh their mellow by asking uncomfy ?’s.”

“You are the media now,” #musk told X users as the #election results came in.
It was the truest statement he had made in months.”

With the fight for the federal government lost, now it's more important than ever to get engaged locally.

Cop Cities are being built across the nation. Surveillance programs are being introduced. Cities are cooperating with border patrol.

Fight the tools of oppression at the local level, and a hostile federal government can't use those tools. Secure your local communities. We keep us safe.

Many factors why #Trump won

The most crucial piece is that #socialmedia is the center of all attention

Not unique to the #USA

Example:

"#FarRight #candidate takes shock lead in #Romania presidential #election"

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9dlw5pq967o

#Georgescu is anti-#NATO, anti-#EU and admires #Putin

He joined in August in 8th place. He is now in 1st

Why?

Social media saturation

Forget #cable, forget the #press: dead #media

Social media is killing #Democracy

This is now our greatest struggle

You know, I do love how #Liberals & #Democrats justified a lot of things in the #Election like; the #Genocide in #Palestine / #Gaza, shutting down a #Workers right to strike, and even welcoming #Republicans in their party where literal #Fascists like #GeorgeWBush & #DickCheney were worse than #DonaldTrump & the #RepublicanParty endorse them.

This poll from #Pennsylvania show cases why the #DemocraticParty lost so many of their base to #Vote for them and why they deserved to lose.

"His mission, his goals & objectives--whatever that is--we need to embrace it. All of it..Every. Single. Word.

"Anarchists" who act like democrat party organizers and respond to criticism of their fascism by calling consistent anti-authoritarians tankies piss me off more than any other group and unfortunly they seem to be almost every anarchist in the us at least.

Imagine a third-world country that recently held an #election. The election was seen as free and fair, although the richest man in the country paid for and overtly campaigned for one candidate, and that candidate won. #POTUS decides to call the winner to congratulate him. On that call, the winner’s billionaire donor shows up uninvited, and starts talking to POTUS.

When this is reported in the US #media, would they label the billionaire an #oligarch?

#Elon is an oligarch. #oligarchy

For the ppl outside the USA (& naive USians), only one demographic (majority) outright rejected gqp tru mp fascism & serial criminality.

The (majority) rest either didn’t think a felon yt supremacist child rapist #fascist moron was a deal breaker or wanted him for those specific traits.

Many voters clearly seldom follow news or #politics bc 45yrs of the gqp Murdoch 🇷🇺 propaganda worked.

Low-info voters got basic facts & 🇺🇸civics wrong —which was part of the Gqp sabotage long game.

I think some folks may be missing my point here.

If you are new to mutual aid and building (or joining) community, start with a local need.

One that you can do without any training or previous experience:

Like distributing food.
Like going with NAACP to a local townhall meeting.
Like escorting abortion patients if you're up for it.

That gets you plugged in. Lets you learn how these things go. Gets you listening and meeting folks. Lets you learn about other groups.

To be VERY CLEAR: Distributing food at a food pantry is an entrance point to fighting a national fascist movement.

If you are completely new, read Dean Spade's book "Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During This Crisis (and the Next)".

It's free in various formats here (including HTML, PDF, EPUB, etc): https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/dean-spade-mutual-aid

It's also available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and your local library.

Read it. It's a quick read.

Go join a group.

This isn't charity.

This is resiliency and resistance.

#mutualAid #election #solarPunk

- Individual
- Individuals grouped locally
- Local groups bring immediate change in local town and surrounding areas
- Local groups communicate / coordinate for state & national action
- Coordinated national action (via local groups) brings change nationally

You can only start local. That's how this all works.

Find a group doing the following:
- Distributing shelf stable food and fresh produce
- Making and serving hot meals
- Peer to peer mental health
- Homeless / Houseless outreach & support (especially during winter right now)
- Civil rights advocacy & action (pick your group and cause)
- Education, Literacy, Library support
- Etc Et Al

These groups are already established. They have knowledge and experience. Plug in where they need you. Start with simple tasks. Listen, learn, meet people. Keep showing up on a regular schedule that you cab sustain. Don't worry about picking the right group immediately. Once you start with one group, you'll learn about others. Move to where you like after you get started.

These groups are coordinating. They are working together with other groups across town and with similar groups across the county.

Pitch in as you can. We need you. You need this. You can help right now. You can push back right now.

Push back.

(If you need help getting started, DM me with your city / town / closest town, and I'll help you search for a group to begin work with.)

Carole Cadwalladr: “Elections are downstream from white men talking on platforms that white men built, juiced by invisible algorithms our broligarch overlords control. This is culture now.”
“These bros know. They don’t fear journalists any more. Journalists will now learn to fear them. Because this is oligarchy now. This is the fusion of state and commercial power in a ruling elite.”

Carole Cadwalladr: “Social media *is* mainstream media now. It’s where the majority of the world gets its news. Though who even cares about news? It’s where the world gets its memes and jokes and consumes its endlessly mutating trends. Forget ‘internet culture’. The internet *is* culture. And this is where this election was fought and won … long before a single person cast a ballot.”

MAGA hecklers can't stop Tampa anti-Trump protest

On the 9th of November, anti-Trump protesters gathered in front of City Hall in Tampa, FL. This was as four huge commercial events flooded downtown with massive car and foot traffic.

This gave the protest unusually good visiblity, but also exposed it to a steady stream of pro-Trump hecklers. Even MAGA hats were visible within the supposedly civilian crowd on the street.

Speakers called out Project 2025 and the spread of abortion bans. Another said the Democrats were responsible for their own defeat by running candidates (not just this time around) who ignore the needs of their base and instead do things like funding and arming genocide.

Speaking of Project 2025, in DC today protesters marched on the Heritage Foundation, authors of Project 2025.

One speaker bluntly warned that Trump, Vance, and DeSantis and their extremist fanbase have "entered a war with us" without realizing what they are getting into.

Remember, unlike the IOF in Gaza, they cannot use their air power and artillery against us without hitting their own people and their own assets. If Gaza can hold out, so can we.
