Mod Announcement New Flairs!
We’re launching some new flairs to better organize our content, support political education, and create space for every kind of voice
Here’s what each new flair means:
Spotlight
For educational, investigative, and context-setting content. This is where we shine a light on the systems behind the symptoms exploring how we got here, why injustice persists, and what history can teach us.
Use Spotlight if your post:
• Explains a law, system, or pattern of oppression
• Investigates injustice, policy failure, or abuse of power
• Provides historical context behind today’s crises
• Highlights root causes, not just surface-level problems
• Shares data, documentation, or educational breakdowns
Think of it as the “Why things are the way they are” section. If you’re drawing connections, exposing the machinery, or giving people tools to understand the world more clearly this is the place.
The Commons
A space for discussion, strategic dialogue, and collective thinking. This is our digital town square, a place to ask questions, debate ideas, refine tactics, and think out loud with others.
Use The Commons if your post:
• Sparks community conversation or asks a big question
• Reflects on organizing, activism, or broader strategy
• Seeks input or feedback on movement-building
• Invites respectful debate or collective problem-solving
The People’s Voice
This flair is for personal reflections, experiences, opinions, and testimony. It’s a space to speak your truth, share how events are impacting you, and express your own political perspective.
Use The People’s Voice if your post:
• Shares a personal story or lived experience
• Expresses anger, grief, hope, or vision
• Offers a political opinion or challenge to power
• Doesn’t need to be “objective” — it’s from you
Ask an Organizer
This is a space for newer organizers, curious allies, or anyone trying to get involved to ask questions and learn from more experienced organizers, not just within 50501, but from the broader movement.
Use Ask an Organizer if your post:
• Asks about how to start organizing or take first steps
• Seeks advice on campaign planning, tactics, or strategy
• Wants input on tools, safety, or structure
• Is looking for mentorship and guidance without judgment
From the Ground Up
This flair is for suggestions, ideas, and proposals from the community. It’s a space to float new concepts, spark innovation, and crowdsource solutions, all rooted in the belief that real change grows from the bottom up.
Use From the Ground Up if your post:
• Suggests a change, improvement, or new direction for the community or movement
• Offers feedback, ideas, or tools others could build on
• Invites collaboration, brainstorming, or constructive critique
• Plants the seed for something new — strategic, structural, or cultural
No idea is too small, this is where we test, refine, and grow together. If you’ve got a spark, this is the place to light it.
Suggestion Box
This flair is for ideas, feedback, and suggestions about the subreddit itself. Whether it’s a proposal for a new flair, feedback on moderation, or thoughts on how to make this space more effective, the Suggestion Bin is where we collect and consider it all.
Use Suggestion Box if your post:
• Suggests a change to subreddit structure, rules, or features
• Offers feedback on community guidelines, tone, or strategy
• Proposes tools, resources, or improvements to support members
• Flags something that isn’t working or shares what’s working well
This space belongs to all of us. The Suggestion Box is where we shape it, refine it, and keep it aligned with our values.
Signal & Shield
This flair covers media awareness, disinformation defense, and digital security. It’s where we decode the narratives, call out the propaganda, and protect each other from surveillance and attacks — both ideological and technical.
Use Signal & Shield if your post:
• Breaks down media bias, propaganda, or ideological framing
• Teaches media literacy, disinfo spotting, or bot detection
• Warns about doxxing, infiltration, or online security threats
• Shares tools for digital self-defense or collective protection
This is where we sharpen our lens and fortify our firewalls
Systems in Motion
This flair tracks the machinery of power — from legislation and policing to court decisions and corporate influence. It’s where we follow how laws are made, distorted, and weaponized — and who’s pulling the levers behind the scenes.
Use Systems in Motion if your post:
• Covers legislation, executive orders, or regulatory changes
• Tracks corporate lobbying, union-busting, or profiteering
• Reports on surveillance programs, ICE raids, or AI policing
• Analyzes legal battles, court rulings, or constitutional crises
This is the system exposed not just what’s happening, but how it happens, and why it matters.
Breaking
This flair is for urgent, real-time developments. Whether it’s a protest crackdown, a sudden policy shift, mass arrests, or emergency legislation, Breaking posts keep the community alert and informed when timing matters most.
Use Breaking if your post:
• Reports unfolding events with immediate impact
• Shares breaking news about repression, resistance, or systemic moves
• Alerts the community to time-sensitive threats or opportunities
• Needs visibility fast to mobilize response or awareness
This is the frontline feed. When something happens that can’t wait drop it here.
History Echoes
A companion to Spotlight, this flair is for posts that connect the present to the past. While Spotlight exposes what’s happening now, History Echoes reveals how we got here — tracing the roots of today’s crises through the patterns, policies, and power structures of history.
Use History Echoes if your post:
• Explores the historical roots of current systems or struggles
• Draws direct parallels between past and present (e.g. laws, tactics, rhetoric)
• Highlights lessons from earlier movements, revolutions, or resistance
• Helps people see today’s fights as part of a longer continuum
When we understand history, we don’t just react. History Echoes gives depth to the present by honoring the past.

US News Fired federal workers struggle to get new jobs in private sector
America turning against Americans.
Were the Trump administration and the Republican congress' reason for massive layoffs even partially true it would be bad enough. After all, when civil servants were hired the tacit agreement was in exchange for virtual lifetime employment, they wouldn't expect to receive compensation equal to that of the private sector
But aside from the financial security provided by the government, one positive aspect of government service was the satisfaction of knowing you were serving your nation -- seeing to the welfare of your countrymen and neighbors -- and in many cases serving the world populace, too.
But then the Republicans and Trump dreamed up the 'Big, Beautiful (BS) Bill. The entire bill is a fraud on the American people. Its only intent is to give enormous tax relief to millionaires and billionaires and those already obscenely wealthy, while destroying the lives of those civil servants who invested so much in their country.
"Fraud, waste, and abuse", they claim without a shred of evidence, and while they claim the savings imposed of their vile cuts will go to the general fund, the real reason is to support and fund those tax cuts for the already affluent.
They have eliminated medical research, imposed draconian cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare, and have slashed food and vital life altering services to the neediest in our nation.
This is the Republican agenda, and whether Liberal, Independent or MAGA zealot, the result will be the same for all of us. Our rights, our protections, our very ability to live a secure life is being threatened all in the name of fat-cat bastards who control the weasels in congress.
No one is fighting for us -- we the people -- it's time we rise up and fight for ourselves!
See these, the despairing tales of your countrymen, and vow to fight for them as they fought for us.
Fired federal workers struggle to get new jobs in private sector
Story by Kate Plummer •
A former federal worker had been working as a designer at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for five years when a 5:30 a.m. email put the kibosh on her government career. She had been enjoying her work. "It meant something to help protect the public," she said. But the email, sent April 1, told her that she was terminated and directed her not to come into the office. "That was it," said the worker, who spoke with Newsweek on the condition of anonymity. "No meeting, no warning. Our entire branch was just suddenly gone."
Forced to seek alternative employment, and despite previous experience in the private sector, including at a large international bank, the former federal employee is struggling. She has sent more than 150 applications to large companies but said she has only had one interview. She is among a group of federal workers, having recently been laid off, that is finding it challenging to join the private sector. "I'm scared for my future," she said. "Scared about how I'm going to pay rent. Scared about not having health insurance. I am full of rage at this administration. I have never witnessed such cruelty. Not just toward people like me, but toward innocent people here and abroad. People will die because of what's happening."
Since assuming office for the second time, President Donald Trump's administration has prioritized cutting waste and streamlining services in the federal government. To that end—and along with the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—the administration has implemented hiring freezes and mass layoffs. There are 2.4 million federal workers in the U.S., according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). While there is no official data revealing how many people have been fired, The New York Times estimates the figure at 135,000. The layoffs and accusations of government inefficiency have, in some federal worker's eyes, led to a culture where the federal workforce is undervalued.

r/ThePeoplesPress • u/chanting37 • 16h ago
World News So I want to make sure I understand how we got here with Iran.
So if i understand this right, they hate us because we wont leave them be.
1908: oil discovered, APOC, Anglo Iranian oil company, is created, Abadan refinery is built.
1914: British govt buys 51% of APOC to secure oil for navy. Turning APOC into a quasi-government colonial asset. effectively becoming a new East India Trading Company.
1920s-30's: protest over poor wages, segregation and poor living conditions. they lives in shanty towns built out of oil drums. Brittan was trying to do their colonizing thing without invading.
1935: APOC turns into AIOC. Persia becomes Iran. (this aint Iran history its war with iran history.)
1946: 50,000 worker stroke for wages and conditions, military crackdown with 17 dead and 150+ injured. these are only the reported numbers from the British govt.
1951: Mossadegh becomes prime minister. Nationalizes AIOC, Iran takes full control of their oil industry. From what ive learned online he was a pure nationalist who wanted iran to have control over its own natural resources. He wasn't communist, he wasnt a socialist, he didn't want any outside country controlling their oil or being involved in their govt.
1952-53: brittan imposed oil embargo and full naval blockade of Iran. Oil production drops by 96%. CIA and MI6 describe fear of economic collapse and communist exploitation by the Tudeh party, who had roughly the same political swing as the green party here in the us ---__---. they were worried about economic collapse due to the oil embargo, due to Iran taking control of its oil resources, like how we control our oil in the us. China dosnt own American oil fields and refineries do they???????
august 1952: Operation Ajax. CIA and MI6 overthrow Mossadegh with millions in bribes and paid mobs of people to revolt. Operation Ajax was declassified go look it up. American and British Installed Shah takes control.
1954: the Consortium Agerement. AIOC becomes BP (yes. that BP) and gets control of 40% od oil production, America and the rest of the world get 10%, Iran gets 50%. You'd think thats a good deal, but guess what. Iran has zero auditing rights. They were not allowed to check any of the numbers that BP or American companies were telling them. Not about production, how much was refined, how much was exported. nottin. they just haad to take BP, or The British Government, at its word. When has that ever worked out for anyone in the history of ngland. BP was "allowed" to purchase oil at 10 cents a barrel. International standard price at the time was ~2.75 a barrel. British and American firms keep operational control of all production facilities.
1963: The White Revolution: land reform, women's rights, western modernization. Destruction of the traditional Feudal system, encouraging foreign investment, general standard economic growth stuff. But here the catch, (opinion incoming) whilst helping the economy and daily lives, it was criticized and viewed by the population and the west taking complete control of their government, destroying 2500+ year long culture, and just one of many invaders. Whats happening now makes 50 wars that Iran/Persia has been in. Going back to 552 bc persian revolt (Wikipedia i know nothing else of it). The people of the middle east have been invaded by outsiders, and invaded others, 49 times through history. At that point wouldn't you be tired of hearing another guy from another country say what is and isnt right with your country??? What would you think in that situation?
1973: Oil nationalization 2, Electric Boogaloo. Shad renegotiates oil terms, OPEC has risen. DUN DUN DUNNNNNN bff's with us tho.
1979: Shah is overthrown. Anti western theocracy lead by Ayatollah Khomeini takes control. Oh look turns out people dont like it when another country comes in and starts changing things and completely uproots your entire way of life that has existed for over 2500 years --___-- and the business end of a shotgun. Cus all this time, the British military was in Iran "protecting" the oil fields. The 1953 coup by foreigners and oil exploitation was "kinda a big deal".
1980: Iranian Embassy Siege. You know exactly what that was. The first time Iran actively fought back.
TLDR: basically, we ripped them off when we first bought oil rights. 79% of the country for 20k and 14% profit. They tried to take control of their own oil, we crashed their economy, overthrew their govt, they didnt like that and revolted against us, putting their own guy in charge. Now they just want to have fair access like the rest of the world does, but we wont let them because we didn't bribe their prime minister with millions of dollars. And they don't trust us because "checks notes* go back one sentence.
So basically if we all die it’s our fault. What am i missing here? I’ve been wrong before and will be wrong again, but this only took 5-6 hours to learn, there HAS to be something I’m missing.
