Independent media. Community schools. Worker co-ops. Public banks. Mutual aid networks. Tech commons.

These aren’t utopian dreams—𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘨𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦.

And the #media, dear god the media.

A few central actors who have insider deals with these industries and execs to spread false narratives in order to confuse the issue own most of the big media outlets.

It's become #psyop as a service. Only #independentmedia can be trusted nowadays. Even #AP is being corrupted by the current USb administration, which is nuts.

We can't go on like this and everybody knows it. But what do we do?

@CiaraNi The good news: Here in Europe, we do see these #protests, in media like the Guardian (they have expanded their USA division), or Reuters shows protests even live. The USA have #independentMedia like @TheConversationUS - @TexasObserver @ProPublica and more, support them!

But journalists here have a problem: If you have the choice between 1 Mio people protesting in Seoul, 100 000 in Belgrade (all for Democracy), and 500 somewhere in the USA: what do you choose for reporting?

@nixCraft 💡 GBS Media Response:

Big Tech isn’t just dominating markets—it’s controlling speech and shaping narratives. 🚨

They suppress competition, throttle independent creators, and dictate what the public sees. Free speech suffers when a few companies hold all the power.

The future belongs to independent voices and decentralized platforms. It’s time to reclaim the internet for everyone—not just Silicon Valley. 💪

Oh and mea culpa here, I'm just as guilty as anyone else in the independent media space, of retreating from factual reporting into politically-motivated punditry.

EDIT: I want to clarify that I *never* intentionally misrepresent the facts, here or anywhere, and my political motivation remains the public good. I'm commenting on a shift from on-the-ground gathering of new facts, to mainly giving my opinion on facts gathered by others. See next post.

"Although the closure of elPeriódico is final and Zamora remains under house arrest, the outlet’s contributions to history are once again accessible to anyone interested starting January 31, when the Central American Independent Media Archive, or CAIMA went live."

#Trump's #USAID cut: "...shattered the paradoxical fraud of the “#independentmedia”... Just like everything else in today’s #Orwell-ian ‘upside-down’ construct—where the term “democracy” is... tossed about to describe repression... "peace” used to describe funneling more weapons to... Nazi/apartheid regimes—similarly “independent media” had described what was... almost entirely government funded operation."
