      Twitter is such a blessing/curse. There’s some great content on there and it’s a good way to quickly digest the news. However, there is SO much trash on there.

      It’s probably best to avoid reading most replies. For example, Ben Norton gets tons of braindead trolls.

      I ended up deleting my personal account and making a private account that I use just to follow people. I don’t interact with anyone on there AT ALL and my life has been much better.

      Definitely agree about only following a small number of high quality accounts. On my old account I ended up following a bunch of small time ML accounts. Most of them seemed nice but they would spend most of their time arguing/QT’ing libs and fascists. I don’t think this is a productive way to spend time.

      I’ve been meaning to just link mastodon to the accounts I follow but I’ve been lazy.

        first saw them for honest reporting on the russia/ukraine conflict. haven’t seen anything far right from them. seems very anti establishment/liberal media. could have missed something tho, so I am curious if there’s anything to back up that claim

          It’s so good! Eugene Puryear definitely appears on the Socialist Program pretty frequently.

    I can also recommend mronline. They aggregate interesting posts from different leftist blogs around the web, so you can always stumble upon a new blogger you might like.

    people’s dispatch, they also do a talkshow, on yt, with their journalists for daily stuff which gets a lot of good info out

    closely related to the tri continental institute/vijay/btnews crew/the punch out/ben norton/the left lens/guerrilla pod. looks like they’re all friends and frequently lift each others work up for a leftist voice that’s severely lacking

    edit:

    should also note dongsheng news as a part of tri continental institute. doing reporting on africa/china relations, also have a yt channel

    on a personal/irrelevant note, i wish rania khalek would take me back to lebanon with her and wife me

    edit 2:

    also worth mentioning that many of these journalists/orgs were part of this years /people’s summit/, and there’s many more to check out. so many really beautiful people from all around the world were a part of that, many of them journalists or part of organizations well worth keeping up with. official website

    edit 3:

    also, if you are in usa or curious about usa, can’t forget fight back news, they also have a podcast with a lot of really good interviews with long-time organizers from many working class movements, i just listen on yt. their red-theory articles has been some good and concise marxist theory, and they have those red aloud through the tankie talk yt channel

    edit 4:

    adding more conveniance links to stuff.

    also, want to mention makc (millennials are killing capitalism), they do a lot of great interviews with organizers in the struggle, some of it international struggles
