Deal with the last one on that list and the rest fall in place a whole lot easier.

Since the age of the internet, we are all publishers, each of us bears some private responsibility for the public's sense of truth.
Things that Require Our Focus (In No Specific Order):
- Genocide in Gaza
- War in Ukraine
- Fascists Paramilitary Disappearing People or Sending them to Concentration Camps
- School Shootings
- The Epstein Files
- Rising Inflation and the FED Giving Up on the Economy
- Surveillance Capitalism & the Surveillance State
- Environmental Destruction
- Militant Right Violence
- American Citizens Losing Their Rights
- Nazis, White Supremacists, and Fascists Feeling Safe and Secure in the Regime
Edit: replaced FED with Fed as it is not an abbreviation.
I had that thought about the Epstein Files.
That one at least has a clear action to take. How to make Nazis feel uncomfortable? Well that could mean 15 different things.
Seems that there quite some overlap of the two.
“In no particular order” is kind of a problem, because when you try to focus on everything, you can’t focus on anything. When everything’s a priority, nothing’s a priority.
“But everything IS a priority!!”
Everything is important but prioritized means in some kind of order. It isn’t better to get nowhere on 15 things than to get nowhere on 8 things. And neither of those is as good as getting somewhere on 2 or 3 things.
Meanwhile the right:
Trump is god-king, whatever he says we'll do in lockstep.
Agreed, but who better than to prioritize and to decide on countermeasures than all of us collectively.
It would honestly be better if some clear headed leaders proposed some prioritizes for the “all of us collectively” because “all of us collectively” have a bad track record of trying to agree on and decide anything.
That would be welcomed, but we do not have that right now. Perhaps we can use this to our advantage and have collective resistance?
We don’t have leaders right now? And we’re just going to act collectively and effectively as a whole? I’m sorry. Are we talking about the same species?
Probably the best collective action to hope for is that each of us pick the one thing here that we can do the most about, and go focus only on that thing.
You seem to like this word “collective” but trying to get everyone to do everything, as one, is an absolutely fantastic plan if your ultimate goal is failure.
first order of business, lunch. we decide better when we're full. second order of business, figuring out the list.
The Fed is the only thing stopping Donald Trump from absolutely destroying the dollar and wrecking the global economy along with it. They didn't "give up on the economy."
They are about to drop the rates 50 bases points with headline inflation at 3.1 and also introduce quantitative easing.
The Fed is likely not doing this because of pressure from the regime, but pressure from the market and a preference to inflation instead of deflation.
Edit: replaced FED with Fed as it is not an abbreviation.
Sounds like a good time to bet against the US dollar.
Been doing that since the start of 2025 and it's really been paying off.
What is the FED? That seems like something the Fed would be in control of.
Oh, I see my mistake. Thanks for pointing it out. However despite my usage of capitalization, I believe my points are still valid.
Indeed.
Climate change should probably be on there, too
See Environmental Destruction
I honestly missed that in the list. We have too many huge problems :(
There is actually an interesting phenomenon that happens when we read long lists. We tend to skim the middles and only really read the tops and bottoms.
I always figured that the life support systems for most or all life on earth should be priority one through one hundred, with all other issues (yes, ALL) being a non-concern until the thing that will literally kill us all in the short/medium term is addressed. I'm just weird like that, I guess.
It’s the bottom bitch of the big issues. But interestingly, we can’t really make progress on it without clearing the table of some of these joker politicians. That’s why, weirdly, I’d put the Epstein Files above environmental destruction on the prioritized list.
No we're far too busy to think about that right now. Maybe some day soon, when we've solved our more pressing problems.
I would also add climate crisis and and war in Sudan
I used environmental destruction instead of climate crisis/change because I personally think it's past that point.
All wars should be listed. Please use this not as a guide but as a call to action.
Wealth inequality, End Citizens United and or overhaul voting system entirely, eg. Ranked-Choice Voting (IRV or STV).
Excellent point. Please use this not as a guide, but a call to action. I'm sure there is a lot I have missed.
What does FED stand for? Federal Eserve Dystem?
Does this picture mean “consume a lot of posts and news on these topics and participate in comments section”?
Man, if so I better get some serious credit when this shit gets fixed. Shitposting counts too right?
On fediverse projects - yes. In mainstream social networks - no.
I take it to mean that it's our responsibility to be true in how we comunicate and to do our own investigations. We should not be trusting "smarter people" to do this for us.
This can also lead to a call to action and to resistance.
PS, I also think it means we have the responsibility to not allow the narratives to shift on to topics that the regime is using as a distraction.

This is a really cool project. Thank you for sharing
This doesn't even need to include "American" and still holds true. Not sure why it does include that, really. These things are relevant for many countries right now. Always have been.
Correct, edited.
Ah no, sorry, I meant the image itself. I will admit I didn't read the text below the image. 🙋♂️🤸♂️
NP, I edited both
Cool, thanks! I see the image in the original post was updated, but not this one. No biggie though.
I think you have to restart your client. That's what I did to see the change get affected in the crosspost.
I restarted, and also tested a client that had never opened this post before; both clients show the version with American Citizens here, and without on the original post. 🤷♂️😬
Good to know, thanks
