Social Media should have never been in the first place.
BlueSky has shown me that Social Media does have a place but you have to strictly control your feed. Otherwise, I completely and wholeheartedly agree with this post. We have really only looked at our community spaces in a capitalistic ‘how much money can it make’ style for too long; with so many in conservative government and corporate worlds abandoning black initiatives, we need to make spaces where we build our own initiatives. This starts at those coffee shops, bookstores, day lounges, skate rinks, parks, and libraries. Love your black community, love your black families, and love black culture.
“This year is all about us so fuck the other side” I know meek is considered corny now but I had to say it
Not at Starbucks though, their new CEO doesn’t want people chilling in there.
To be frank, this time round it’s not gonna be black vs. white
It’s billionaires and the fascists vs. everyone else
But the sentiment is still there. We need to organize
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the hub.

Going out for a cup of coffee can be exhausting after getting beat up by work all week. Getting more than 2 people to meet at the same time can be difficult. But these are wholesome challenges. They’re things worth getting out of the house for
I’m shy AF but I’m definitely gonna try to volunteer more often and go to the library. The only major social media I’ll probably use is BlueSky and Reddit. After Facebook went full right wing, I’ll be reluctant to use it unless it’s to check up on family. I won’t lie though, 2016 to now has been an eye opener on the importance of solidarity and safe social media usage
There is room for gated social media that keeps out obvious fascists and allows revolutionaries to discuss relatively openly without getting shut down. There will be spies of course but at least the discourse can happen without being shut down.
I don’t think it will be something Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Samsung, etc. will allow because they are orgs who put profit before humanity and kowtow to fascist governments. But it’s possible that it could become widespread through browsers and VPNs.
Will they still allow libraries?
I worry this will be worse than people realize. Allegedly Thiel said apartheid wasn’t immoral and great for the economy. Musk, this guy, he’s giddy with hate. Letting his freak flag fly.
These are the leaders of the US. They’re extremely powerful and they don’t like us.
Preach!
Planning can no longer be done over a network. They are listening
Yes, yes, and yes. This cannot be stressed enough. We need to stick together.
I agree with this post. It’s important to join or create your own community or organization. We are better together by numbers. Social media only share thoughts and ideas. Being together creates more awareness and action. We can not allow ourselves to stand in the shadows.
Down for community range days 🙌🏿
…what’s a day lounge
Isn’t prioritizing a race what we call racism? Instead of thinking we has humans should come together, we keep dividing and that’s what’s wrong with humanity.
YES A MILLION TIMES YES! HOW CAN I BLAST THIS MESSAGE?! DELETE SOCIAL MEDIA! ITS THE BEST WAY FORWARD. WE WILL FIGURE SOMETHING ELSE OUT!
I can’t tell you how passionate I am about this, for me and my closest, as well as encouraging similar action for all communities and neighborhoods worldwide. Nothing is more important. I will dedicating my life to this.
This is real for humanity in general. With all the bots and black face, the only real thing you can trust is someone right in front of you.
When you get the sinking feeling that “revolution” now means making it around the sun in one piece.
This part. As ironic as that statement is to make on social media, I’ve been slowly gathering my friends and moving offline. It’s clear that being online will only leave us confused and saturated with billionaire oligarchs nonsense.
We don’t have to participate. The movement shouldn’t be televised.
Yes!
We literally were in the library everyday after school….. when did that stop being a thing??
A lot of public libraries ahe. Community rooms meant for social gatherings and social clubs. Some systems require the organizations to be non-profits, others are less particular.
If you need a meeting space to organize and educate on the topic of unionization, check your local library. If you want to have an event to promote your community garden, check with your local library. If you want to have a queer board game night, check with your local library.
And going to the library will help you meet people from all walks of life living in your community. The unhoused are not scary. Most unhoused patrons keep to themselves, follow library rules, and have very interesting life stories.
Was it ever honestly
If you haven’t listened recently, pull it up, listen again. The Revolution will not be Televised.
I’ve heard it from brown elders, as well. Ion bout you but it might be wise to listen.
Shouldn’t be the place for any of us.
I love bellying up and talking. Bars, alcohol or otherwise, will never go extinct.
there are social media concepts that are decentralized. It would be stupid to not use technology.
I see such an uptick in interest in public libraries this week and it warms my heart.
Probably shouldn’t announce on social media where groups will meet, cause Trump’s shock troops control the internet now with the NSA.
ha libraries
There’s always street take overs and looting
God I hope this era destroys social media and brings back community to a level never before
Yes. True for all of us now.
I know the ancestors gone be disappointed in me for saying this considering what they went through, but I’m so so tired.
We press on because what else can we do? But I’m so tired boss. But mostly I’m tired of people being ugly to each other.
Community 💯
As an Australian. I Agree
the revolution just happened… televised in HD on newsmax or some such bullshit… and it was brought to you by sketchers step ins and dick pills. 🙁
oh and rus-la (russia-tesla)
time to play marios brother
Well it is good that a ton of black people voted for Trump because just like his last Presidential term in office, he will probably be helping black business, etc. Everyone should be happy about this.
