Alpha1Nine :funkwhale: :sofia:Without <a href="https://aus.social/tags/communication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#communication</a> there can be no <a href="https://aus.social/tags/resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resistance</a>. Communication is what allows isolated <a href="https://aus.social/tags/dissidents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dissidents</a> to join up, understand their situation, and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/plan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plan</a> for <a href="https://aus.social/tags/action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#action</a> It is what allows a resistance group to break its isolation to become part of a <a href="https://aus.social/tags/movement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#movement</a>, rooted in larger <a href="https://aus.social/tags/society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#society</a>. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Resisters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Resisters</a> need to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/communicate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#communicate</a> to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/strategize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strategize</a>, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/analyze" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#analyze</a>, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/mobilize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mobilize</a>, and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/act" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#act</a>, especially under <a href="https://aus.social/tags/repressive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#repressive</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#surveillance</a> states. Good communication is a prequisite to successful <a href="https://aus.social/tags/recruiting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#recruiting</a>, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/fundraising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fundraising</a>, and movement-building in general. And conversely, it is the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/corporatemedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corporatemedia</a> and other official channels of communication that allow the government to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/control" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#control</a> the popular <a href="https://aus.social/tags/narrative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#narrative</a> and imagination, to <a href="https://aus.social/tags/smear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smear</a> or <a href="https://aus.social/tags/deceive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deceive</a> resisters, to divide dissidents against each other, even to obscure or <a href="https://aus.social/tags/erase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#erase</a> struggles for <a href="https://aus.social/tags/justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#justice</a> from collective memory. So it's no surprise-with so much at stake that effective resisters fight to reach out and communicate. Rarely is that as dramatic as the takeover of a TV station in the middle of a parliamentary broadcast. Communication through less fantastic methods (giving <a href="https://aus.social/tags/interviews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#interviews</a>, making <a href="https://aus.social/tags/websites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#websites</a>, and sharing <a href="https://aus.social/tags/pamphlets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pamphlets</a>) is no less important. Effective communication doesn't have to be a spectacle (and the drive to make it a spectacle can be a trap the mass media use to distort movements). I’m not going to tell you here how to make a zine or write a press release; those practicalities are handled in more detail elsewhere. I'm going to address bigger questions that are discussed less often: How do resistance movements communicate externally to reach <a href="https://aus.social/tags/sympathizers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sympathizers</a> and <a href="https://aus.social/tags/supporters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#supporters</a>? How do they deal with the power and contradictions of the mass media? How do they communicate internally to build a shared culture and organize action? And how do they maintain safe communication - especially in <a href="https://aus.social/tags/underground" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#underground</a> groups-when dealing with repressive states and pervasive surveillance? <a href="https://aus.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/TrumpCoup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrumpCoup</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PutinsPuppet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PutinsPuppet</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AxisOfEvil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AxisOfEvil</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/FullSpectrumResistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FullSpectrumResistance</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/RESIST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RESIST</a>

Chuck DarwinVice President Harris wants to <a href="https://c.im/tags/erase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#erase</a> billions of dollars in <a href="https://c.im/tags/medical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medical</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/debt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#debt</a>, -- a longtime progressive goal that Democrats hope will be an electoral winner in the fall. The economic plan Harris released last week called for Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), to 🔹work with states 🔹to erase medical debt for millions of Americans “to help them avoid accumulating such debt in the future, because 🔸no one should go bankrupt just because they had the misfortune of becoming sick or hurt.” 🔸<a href="https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4842471-harris-walz-lean-into-erasing-medical-debt/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4842471-harris-walz-lean-into-erasing-medical-debt/</a>

geoffreygevaltDavid Fowler spent the better part of two hours combing through the bound volumes of newspapers for 1918 and then 1919. And then he found it. A simple little birth announcement, the final piece in the puzzle. He wished he had never found it. He wished he could <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/erase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#erase</a> it from his mind. 'How am I going to keep this from Grace?' he thinks. 'How can I possibly tell her?
