"Amid harsher sanctions on disruptive protest, activism is now fighting to save itself, in a last-ditch effort to unknot the noose of state power before it tightens around their necks."
So what’s next for protest? @bdmabrams.bsky.social writes in the Big Issue

Im neuen Heft des Forschungsjournal Soziale Bewegungen bespreche ich das Buch "The Rise of the Masses" von @bdmabrams.bsky.social. Es trägt dazu bei, spontane Massenmobilisierung zu verstehen und ist eine wichtige Ergänzung zu Organisationsperspektiven auf Protest.

Count me in!
Ah! The double edged sword of social media being fun again!
We are here! Great to start the end of the year with a new beginning... Hoping we can connect with as many old friends and colleagues here as we used to on twitter/X.
Okay, so I guess we're doing this!
Can anyone shoot me some good guides for migrating over from Twitter, duplicating content, and ideally bringing ones' followers with them?
