Using Signal groups for activism
Things are heating up. Millions of people are taking to the streets against Trump's rising authoritarianism. Communities around the US are organizing to defend against ICE raids, to protest Israeli genocide, for mutual aid, and for other forms of fighting fascism.

The Norwegian Trade Union Association, Anarcho-syndicalism in Norway!
The NSF-IAA upholds the anarcho-syndicalist tradition in Norway, rooted in the organization’s founding in 1917 and its historic commitment to the principles of direct action, federalism, and worker self-management. The NSF has been a section of the International Workers’ Association (IWA-AIT) since 1922, maintaining its place within the international anarcho-syndicalist movement.
It makes me smile to see the NS…

Noen ganger kjenner jeg på frustrasjonen over at det er arbeidsledere og et hierarki som bestemmer over meg på jobben.

The internet has transformed activism, giving rise to more organic, diverse, and dynamic social movements that transcend geo-political boundaries. Despite extensive research on the role of social media and the internet in cross-cultural activism, the fundamental motivations driving these global movements remain poorly understood. This study examines two plausible explanations for cross-cultural activism: first, that it is driven by influential online opinion leaders, and second, that it results…

👋 Hello! I’m Łukasz. Thirty-something, living in Warsaw, Poland. On fedi since 2021 or so. Right now, I'm merging my two accounts into one and giving this profile a fresh new start.
I live a few parallel lives.
Most of the time I’m a web developer. I work with TypeScript, React and all that jazz. But I still enjoy static site generators and good ol’ HTML/CSS.
In another life, I’m a documentary photographer and photojournalist. I’m interested in activism, art and culture, politics, and pretty much anything interesting happening on city streets. A big part of my photography journey involves documenting protests and demonstrations in Poland, especially those related to human rights and social issues. I’m also drawn to street art, particularly when it carries strong messages.
I occasionally blog and translate. Many years ago I wrote two books about WordPress. However, these days I’m more likely to go outside and touch grass than spend even more time in front of a screen.
Outside of that, expect me to post about mental health and politics. I promise to use CWs when appropriate.
I post in both English and Polish, depending on the topic.
Aaaand that’s it. Nice to meet you! ☺️

I’m an anarcho-syndicalist through and through, and I’m unapologetic about it. I reject all forms of authoritarianism, including Marxism-Leninism with its centralized, hierarchical party structure.

If you intend to dispute this, I suggest thoroughly engaging with the relevant political theory first, because Marxism-Leninism,…
