Not on #ItsGoingDown's list is #PopularResistance! They are definitely on my list!
"With the corporate takeover of federal and state governments, growing state violence and oppression, a widening wealth gap and the climate crisis, more people are becoming politically active in new and creative ways.
A growing culture of resistance is utilizing #NonviolentDirectAction and #CivilDisobedience as primary tactics, and is forming real democratic organizations to empower local communities—as opposed to working within the corrupt government dominated by a two-corporate party system and within an unfair, big finance, #capitalist economy.
PopularResistance.org is a resource and information clearinghouse for this movement of movements. We provide a daily stream of resistance news from the United States and around the world, and a national events calendar."

[Thread] #ItsGoingDown announcement (includes valuable resources, linked in thread)

IGD: 2015 – 2025Filed under: Featured, IGD — It's Going Down
"About a year ago, we announced a hiatus on this project. Due to an outpouring of support, we pushed ourselves to continue, and over the last year, we’re proud of the interviews and roundups we’ve been able to produce.
"But as events in the United States have continued to escalate and conditions have grown more dire, it’s clear that IGD does not have the capacity to meet the moment as a hub for grassroots reporting and journalism. In the face of this reality, we feel its important to be clear about our inability to continue, in the hopes that more people can push themselves to build and grow media projects and platforms.
"We should all have a sober and clear-eyed view of what is happening. The current administration is attempting to consolidate extreme authoritarian power. People are being silenced and working-class people are being attacked. A police state is being constructed. Conditions are worsening. Inflation and prices are exploding and the entire country feels like it is slipping into dictatorship and economic collapse, as most people struggle to put food on the table.
"While this reality is bleak, we are excited about the flood of new media projects taking off and reporting from the ground level and covering evolving social movements. We want to take a moment to shout out some of these projects and encourage you to support and follow them... [Links in thread]
"As corporations and the State consolidate news into fewer hands and the far-Right pushes to silence those who speak out, the need for dynamic and vibrant grassroots media that amplifies working-class voices and gives a platform to social movements is needed now more than ever. We hope those that enjoyed IGD over the years can help in constructing new infrastructure that can help meet our present moment."

The Open Media Network: More Than Just a Tech Project
At first glance, the #OMN (Open Media Network) might look like another stalled technical project, a collection of code, standards, and protocols. But to think of it only this way is to miss the point entirely. What we’re building is a social and technological fabric for the #openweb, woven together by shared values and practical needs. Yes, there’s tech, but the tools and standards we develop are not neutral. They lean, by design, toward openness, transparency, collaboration, and […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-open-media-network-more-than-just-a-tech-project/

Bringing #indymediaback: A Gentle Revival of Radical Media
The old flower beds of #Indymedia lie fallow, not dead. The seeds are still there, beneath layers of neglect, factionalism, and the noise of 20 years of failed “alternatives.” What we need now is not revolution or reinvention, but revival. A slow, careful re-rooting in the fertile ground of experience.
We don’t need to tear it down or rebuild from scratch. Almost all of what worked between 2000–2008 still works today, at least 90% of the original social structure is sound. Let’s […]

Decolonization ain't a buzzword. It’s about land, power, and burning down the systems that keep us in chains. In this clip, Gord Hill lays it out plain—what it is, and what it’s not.
This is a piece of A Red Road to the West Bank, a film we’re building from the ground up, no studio strings, no NGO fluff—just raw, frontline resistance from Turtle Island to Palestine.
Kick in a few bucks, get a keffiyeh, and help us finish this thing.

Open Media Network (#OMN) is a Tool for Change and Challenge, Composting the Mess
In activism and grassroots media, you inevitably face an ongoing, unpleasant truth: when pushing against #mainstreaming and the inertia of the #deathcult, bad faith comes at you like a storm. Your best, and often only, defence is to hold onto your good faith. But good faith alone isn’t enough, we need shared tools to compost the rot, turn the muck of broken movements and failed tech utopias into fertile soil where new paths can grow. That’s where the Open Media Network comes in. The […] -

Sounds like a good thing to setup.The great difficulty is of course, disseminating the findings of the inquiry, and holding the #jeffreyEpsteinClass accountable, if/when we learn of the extent of their involvement.
#GrassrootsMedia are almost nonexistant today.
Many are still scared to use #privacy tools like #Tor/#I2P, despite privacy being fundamental to security.
