Without #communication there can be no #resistance.

Communication is what allows isolated #dissidents to join up, understand their situation, and #plan for #action It is what allows a resistance group to break its isolation to become part of a #movement, rooted in larger #society.

#Resisters need to #communicate to #strategize, #analyze, #mobilize, and #act, especially under #repressive #surveillance states. Good communication is a prequisite to successful #recruiting, #fundraising, and movement-building in general.

And conversely, it is the #corporatemedia and other official channels of communication that allow the government to #control the popular #narrative and imagination, to #smear or #deceive resisters, to divide dissidents against each other, even to obscure or #erase struggles for #justice from collective memory. So it's no surprise-with so much at stake that effective resisters fight to reach out and communicate.

Rarely is that as dramatic as the takeover of a TV station in the middle of a parliamentary broadcast. Communication through less fantastic methods (giving #interviews, making #websites, and sharing #pamphlets) is no less important. Effective communication doesn't have to be a spectacle (and the drive to make it a spectacle can be a trap the mass media use to distort movements).

I’m not going to tell you here how to make a zine or write a press release; those practicalities are handled in more detail elsewhere. I'm going to address bigger questions that are discussed less often:

How do resistance movements communicate externally to reach #sympathizers and #supporters?

How do they deal with the power and contradictions of the mass media?

How do they communicate internally to build a shared culture and organize action?

And how do they maintain safe communication - especially in #underground groups-when dealing with repressive states and pervasive surveillance?

I would LOVE to see #mobilizon instances pop up to have people use them to share word about protests or other organizing activities. I also know that unless it was a critical mass of instances, they could easily be taken down via DoS attacks by those in power.

I don’t know what a critical mass of instances would need to be but depending upon how effective DoS attacks are, I can imagine it would need to be several hundred to several thousand with more popping up as they get attacked.

I think the total number of Mobilizon instances is maybe a hundred or so at the moment and that includes old and abandoned ones.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Mobilizon. It seems like it was partially conceived for times like this. If such a network of them were to draw the ire of powerful people, I don’t know how it could survive though. #fediverse #mobilize

#Mobilize seems like a spectacularly terrible platform to organize even totally moderate, legal resistance to a fascist dictatorship on. They want you to register for protest actions, require too much signup information, won’t let you remove your contact info from their site after you’ve signed up for one call, and want you to sign in with Google or Meta or create an account to do anything.

MobilizeWhy Are Authoritarianism and Fascism on the Rise Globally? How Can We Reverse This Trend? · Election Response CenterOver 77 million people in the U.S. voted for Donald Trump who represents naked capitalist exploitation, racism, misogyny and hate. Authoritarian and fascist leaders/parties are gaining more power around the world. Mass slaughter of Ukrainians by Russia and Palestinians by Israel are continuing with impunity. Why is so much inhumanity becoming normalized? Can this retrogressive trend be reversed? Join us for a two-part program: Wednesday JANUARY 8: We will discuss three key struggles against authoritarianism and fascism in the 21st century: Syria, Ukraine and Iran's Woman, Life, Freedom Movement. Their challenges speak to us in the U.S. and the enormous difficulties we face in resisting fascism. Solidarity with these struggles is crucial. Wednesday JANUARY 15: We will explore the main causes of 21st century authoritarianism and fascism: Concentration of capital in fewer hands; multipolar imperialist competition; mass incarceration; the high-tech assault on the mind; misogyny. We need an understanding of these causes to build a successful resistance movement against fascism and to develop a humanist alternative. Each session will begin with a PowerPoint presentation by the host, Frieda Afary, an Iranian American librarian, author and translator in Los Angeles.

First UK patients receive experimental messenger RNA cancer therapy

A revolutionary new cancer treatment known as mRNA therapy has been administered to patients at Hammersmith hospital in west London.
The trial has been set up to evaluate the therapy’s safety and effectiveness in treating melanoma, lung cancer and other solid tumours.

The new treatment uses genetic material known as messenger RNA – or mRNA – and works by presenting common markers from tumours to the patient’s immune system.
The aim is to help it recognise and fight cancer cells that express those markers.

“New mRNA-based cancer immunotherapies offer an avenue for recruiting the patient’s own immune system to fight their cancer,” said Dr David Pinato of Imperial College London, an investigator with the trial’s UK arm.

Pinato said this research was still in its early stages and could take years before becoming available for patients.
However, the new trial was laying crucial groundwork that could help develop less toxic and more precise new anti-cancer therapies. “We desperately need these to turn the tide against cancer,” he added.

A number of cancer vaccines have recently entered clinical trials across the globe.
These fall into two categories:
🔹personalised cancer immunotherapies, which rely on extracting a patient’s own genetic material from their tumours;
and 🔹therapeutic cancer immunotherapies, such as the mRNA therapy newly launched in London, which are “ready made” and tailored to a particular type of cancer.
