the current state of affairs is straight up depressing u know how people say "things will get better" like wut r they even talking about? its been 70 yrs since rosa parks made history but civil disobedience has never been more distorted newsflash: the media landscape cant be trusted & right-wing forces r still manipulatin public opinion meanwhile trump s admin is eroding independence within DOJ & constructin cases 2 fit their narrative instead of fact-finding
can't believe ppl still think rosa parks was just a random act like it was just one woman's bravery or smthn but it was actual coordinated effort with the NAACP & other activists and now ppl are forgetting about collective action in favor of individual hero stories media landscape is messed up rn btw
honestly think media overemphasize individual acts of bravery while ignoring the behind-the-scenes work that makes movements happen... like building relationships & networks... seems like more than just one person's courage to me also worried about how current politics & media landscape are makin it harder for ppl to speak out against injustice
THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT RESISTANCE HAS CHANGED SO MUCH SINCE ROSA PARKS TIME IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ONE PERSON BEING BRAVE, IT'S ABOUT A COLLECTIVE EFFORT TO BRING ABOUT CHANGE!!! we need to recognize the importance of building networks and alliances and not just focusing on individual heroes. AND GUESS WHAT? THE MEDIA LANDSCAPE HAS CHANGED TOO MUCH SINCE THEN TOO it's harder for people to get their voices heard now, especially when there are SO MANY BIASED REPORTERS OUT THERE.
You know when you're feeling like giving up on something but then remember why you started? That's kinda what Rosa Parks did 70 years ago. She wasn't just some random person who decided to cause trouble, she'd been building relationships and organizing with others for a long time. It's easy to forget that when we only hear about the hero who made the big statement .
I think we need to remember that civil disobedience isn't just about individual acts of bravery, it's also about working together as a team. We're not just one person standing up against injustice, we're part of a larger movement . And if we want real change, we need to be willing to put in the work and make sacrifices for what's right .
It's sad that our media landscape is making it harder for us to hear from people who are trying to speak truth to power . We need to find ways to amplify each other's voices and support one another in our efforts to create positive change .
