Paradigmenwechsel im Internet: The Verge und Vox Media decken auf - Nutzer verlassen Massenplattformen. Trend zu engen, vertrauensbasierten Gruppen. Content bleibt König, auch für "Lurker". Marken müssen umdenken: Authentizität statt Algorithmus. Die Zukunft gehört kleinen, zweckorientierten #Communities. Macht verschiebt sich zurück zum Konsumenten. #InternetRevolution #AuthentischeVerbindungen theverge.com/press-room/617654

#LeeZeldin’s move effectively ends 3 decades of work at the #EPA to try to ease the #pollution that burdens #poor & #minority communities, which are frequently located near #highways, #PowerPlants, #industrial plants & other polluting facilities. Studies have shown that people who live in those #communities have higher rates of #asthma, #HeartDisease & other #health problems, compared w/the national average.

"In this emerging #AIera, the very ideas of community and human connection are poised for redefinition.

#Smaller, purpose-driven #communities are the future. The desire for smaller, more intimate communities is undeniable. People are abandoning massive platforms in favor of tight-knit groups where trust and shared values flourish and content is at the core. The future of community building is in going back to the #basics."

Es geht um Leistungen unterhalb des #Existenzminimum s, Wohnen unter unwürdigen Bedingungen, um eine eingeschränkte medizinische Versorgung, um Arbeit in Zwangsverhältnissen. Das Gesetz existiert seit mehr als 30 Jahren und bestimmt das soziale Leben von Geflüchteten. Es holt das Grenzregime in unsere Nachbarschaften und #Communities und zieht eine rassistische Trennlinie zwischen Menschen.

Die autoritären Regeln wurden immer wieder verschärft, im letzten Jahr mehrmals.

Calling all restaurant workers and owners: Eater has got you covered #immigration #ICE
“'The lives of #immigrants and U.S.-born residents are deeply intertwined, and it is not possible to target #undocumented immigrants without harming citizens and U.S. residents and immigrants of other statuses too,' says Hahn. 'Everything that they are doing is impractical, destructive, costly, it’s going to hurt our #economy. And immigrants are essential members of our #communities.'”
