I've made several posts about this in the past but nothing came of it. I figure I'll just keep beating the drum from time to time.

Why do I know more about what's happening in Florida and Kazakhstan than what's happening in my home state of Utah?

How do I alert other Utahns of local issues I become aware of and receive alerts in return, so that we can organize rallies, protests, etc. and actually take our country back, school by school, city by city, county by county?

This is SO easy to fix. All you have to do is use the tags feature you already have. You just need more of them. Here's what you need:

1. Extranational News (1 category)
2. National News (1 category)
3. State News (1 for all 50 states)

Now, if you live in North Carolina, you could use the filters feature when you log in. "Show me Extranational News, National News, and news from North Carolina specifically."

This would give us the broad view of what's happening around the country and the globe, but enable us to organize locally when issues start to trickle into our respective states.

I've begged for this. I've written admins. I've been told it's not a priority. Why is it not a priority? All this global and national news does is get us all riled up. But to what end? What good is being riled up about something that's happening in Michigan when I live in New Mexico? What good is it to get riled up if you can't harness that frustration into a tangible, collective action?

WHY ARE WE STILL LETTING ANTIFA BE BETTER ORGANIZED THAN WE ARE?????
