The current media system is stacked against us. It’s rigged, exclusive, and hostile to alternatives.

That’s why we need the Open Media Network.

Because without an open, trust-based infrastructure for communication and coordination, we’re just shouting into silos.

Let’s build something different.
Let’s make history — together.

What do you mean by “mainstreaming”?

At its core, #mainstreaming is how we, often unconsciously, uphold and reproduce the values of the dominant system. In our time, that system is #neoliberalism, or what I metaphorically call the #deathcult. It’s the air we breathe: shaping our politics, our economics, even the food we eat and how we relate to each other.

In activist terms, #mainstreaming too often means pushing this dominant worldview into alternative spaces, building careers and institutions that play progressive on the […]

The roadblocks to change: #StupidIndividualism and the #Deathcult that breeds it

If you’ve ever tried to build something radical, collective, and actually useful, you’ve run into these forces. They’re not just annoying. They’re dangerous, structural, and they always show up. This post is about naming those, calling them what they are, and understanding how they’re entangled in the wider problem:

A culture that valorizes individualism, feeds on careerism, and bows to the false “common sense” of the neoliberal #deathcult.

The #NGO agenda: Careerism in activist […]

Theory and Practice in Activism

There’s a common confusion pushed by well-meaning #fashernistas, about how change actually happens. They love theory. They love to talk about change. But when it comes to doing, things go sideways. Why? Because good horizontalists know: theory must emerge from practice, not the other way around.

At the root of radical practice is #DIY culture. We don’t wait for perfect theory or academic approval. We get our hands dirty. We try things, we fail, we try again. Through this, we build […]

Activistes del fedivers, necessito #consell !

Sabeu d'alguna guia, llibre, tutorial o curs per activistes sobre com mantenir una organització? Espais segurs, protocols en cas de (sospites) d'assetjament, intereseccionalitat aplicada, etc. Com més pràctic i específic, millor. Tots els recursos que he trobat sobre el tema són molt genèrics. Gràcies!

S'agraeixen boosts :)

Fedi activists, I'm in need of #advice

Looking for guides, tutorials, books, courses for activists about organising. Particularly, about safe spaces, dealing with harassment or suspitions, applied intersectionality, etc. The more practical and specific, the better. All resources I've found are too generic and I'm having a hard time applying them to my org. Thanks!

Boosts welcome :)

A new #iPhone app, ICEBlock, allows users to anonymously report real-time sightings of ICE activity, similar to Waze.

#ICE officials have condemned the app, stating it endangers officers due to a recent 500% increase in assaults against them. [ #fuckICEfuck_face]

The app's developer says ICEBlock is a #grassroots effort to inform #communities about ICE operations and help #people avoid confrontations.
