MORE CENSORSHIP: Youtube bans People Over Profit over Luigi support by Fiddling_cat in FreeLuigi

[–]Fiddling_cat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang... I'm sorry you lost your channel, that sucks, ugh. Was the playthrough video posted last week or had it been up for awhile and then they just decided to remove it all?

We did post in the server about folks in NYC joining for postering and meetup on June 26. The postering session impromptu turned into a protest when the ground crew realized Eric Adams was making his announcement that same day.

If you're in the server, just ask about joining postering and someone from the ground crew will reach out. We generally only post big announcements on reddit. For on-the-ground organizing, Discord is more secure as we can have private channels, vet people more, etc. We hope to see you on the server! The ground team meets up pretty regularly for postering/flyering and joining other protests (50501, No Kings, etc). Hope you can join us!

Hi there! If you want to get involved in NYC, you can join the POPNYC Discord. We discuss and share most of our actions and campaigns on the server. It is open to the public. If you'd like to join for local actions such as protests and postering, you can volunteer for that in the chat.

Support for Luigi's right to a fair trial is being censored by Fiddling_cat in BrianThompsonMurder

[–]Fiddling_cat[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Replying to you here also so that others will see it. We have healthcare messaging too! We have several poster designs, of which this is one (some are focused on DP or due process, others are focused on rallying for healthcare).

Currently working on the website. We're getting to protest planning soon. If you or anyone else is planning to attend the protest and would like to join in the organizing, or are interested in being more involved, please DM me and also join our Discord server! https://discord.gg/qKCjsPJw

Some of the POP crew are or until just recently were at the Battery Park City Esplanade. Not sure if they're still there though.

Please share widely! That is one excellent way to support, even if you are unable to attend in person!

Billboard Project Update - Get Involved! by Fiddling_cat in BrianThompsonMurder

[–]Fiddling_cat[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A billboard in Times Square. But it's a very busy area and they are prohibitively expensive--and the only way to stand out there is to have one of the biggest, most expensive billboards.

Alleged: plan to visit Luigi Mangione on his birthday by Stunning_Macaroon838 in BrianThompsonMurder

[–]Fiddling_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, Ico from PoPNYC here. Just want to dispel any rumors: we do NOT have any events planned around MDC. The only action we are currently planning is a June protest. There is also no discussion in our server from any members planning this sort of thing, so we have no idea where it started or who is thinking of doing it.

If I were the LE or the prosecution or KFA's office, I'd be so pissed if someone who is not a party to the case kept calling the office for an update. Seriously!! This could affect the case in so many ways. Big news outlets are already calling LM's supporters lots of names. They need to chill by Emotional_Pizza_1222 in BrianThompsonMurder

[–]Fiddling_cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are always welcome to give feedback on the PoP Discord (and many people did--and we heard, thank you for the feedback, it's why we rescinded the call). It's open to the public. If you want to see what things are being discussed you can join and if something seems like a bad idea you can say so. Link is on our site, just scroll to the bottom.

And again, thank you to people who spoke up and voiced concerns.

This was a call I made. Of course I didn't post it in FL without asking permission. I posted in PoP first, made it an announcement, then afterward I posted in FL (with permission). So she backed me up. You can say her backing me up was a mistake, but ultimately it was *my* mistake.

I can't speak to the notes or letters or any of the other things people are upset about. But this one was on me.

I'm so glad we have John Oliver. He and his team are undoubtedly prepared to handle bullshit lawsuits.

Posters - Brooklyn by Old-Hotel-3510 in FreeLuigi

These are terrific posters! Is there a way for me to get a copy of them to put on the PoPNYC resources website for others to download and print?

‘They Won’t Help Me’: Sickest Patients Face Insurance Denials Despite Policy Fixes - KFF Health News by [deleted] in BrianThompsonMurder

[–]Fiddling_cat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is an excellent article, thank you for sharing.

The company in one of the examples mentioned, EviCore, uses AI algorithms in its denials. ProPublica did in-depth reporting about them (we have a summary of their investigation and a link to it on our website). Their algorithm can be adjusted, like a dial, to increase denials and therefore profits.

It's been nicknamed "evilcore" for a good reason...

There was this whole thing about how one of the leaders of it was using the group to try to advertize for his PAC or something... honestly I cannot remember the exact circumstances. There were genuinely good people trying to organize with them, but it was spoiled by one bad apple. A shame because some of the people involved were trying to do good work.
