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:
- Extranational News (1 category)
- National News (1 category)
- 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?????

Dr. Mercola interviews Pam Popper on how to win against Tyranny [long and an excellent read; also has video] " . . . we both agree that participating in protest marches and signing petitions doesn’t really achieve much, and that there are far more effective strategies, as she has demonstrated." by Narg
"We have people who are demoralized. They need to feel like they’re winning, and when people come to our groups, what they see is winning. You save a business, you win. You get a kid out of school, you win. You raise money and file a lawsuit, you win. Winning is what we need for people to feel good. Getting them involved in more stuff that results in failure, not so good. So, we’re really focused and disciplined.”
“So, everything you need, you get from your group … and I can tell you right now, I can say this with a great deal of confidence, if I needed something, a place to live, if I didn’t have any food, if I needed money, if I needed medical care, if I needed a job, you know where I get that?
"From my Thursday Group and the Thursday Group network. [Editor’s note: It’s called Thursday Group because the group meets on Thursdays.] This is what is missing. If this had all been in place [before the pandemic], they could never have done this to us. They took advantage of the fact that society’s quite fractured, that you don’t have these local connections.
"People beat me up sometimes a little bit. ‘Why won’t you let people have Zoom meetings?’ Here’s why. If we need to save a business in Worthington, Ohio, somebody in Portland, Oregon can’t help us do that. You can’t eat at this restaurant every week and support them. It has to be local, local, and it has to be in person.”
