pol.moveon.org/pac/mandateforchange/petition//comments.ht... is hoping to give support to the new congress. they are asking people to sign a petition and to make it even more personal by having people take a picture of themselves with a poster that shows the issues that are most important to them.

Flickr seems a great place to gather some energy and good photographs for them.

It was a beautiful sunset, and I enjoyed nature surrounded by mountains and a green water lake. At that time, I found three birds sitting on a dead tree. Two were in close distance, and another one was alone. I thought they were also enjoying the utter silence of nature, just like me. At the same time, I felt they might have had their home in that tree leaves when the tree was alive. They might be thinking about their past and their life change, just like I am thinking about my home country, my own city, and my family residing in my new home in the USA. I learned that everyone has his own stories mixing pleasing and painful memories. With the change of time, our destination changes; only we bear the memories with us. But as a global citizen, my life has to be dynamic. For my career and better future life, I have to move from one place to another, and the memories must be the driving force, not the hindrances.

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION:

This petition against flickr's changes needs 10,000 signatures. it already has nearly 5,000.

Please sign it:

The day I took this picture, I finally let go of something. I had been holding onto the past, regretting my choices, but then I realized that the "past me" did what she thought was best. It's no use resenting and hurting yourself. At least I am one level more mature. So yeah, don't keep holding onto what is hurting you. Let it go and be Elsa cool.

MoveOn sent me my Yes We Did sticker before the inauguration.

Yes they did.

Can public opinion in the US and around the world actually stop a senseless and dangerous military action before it takes place? Maybe. To all appearances, it looked as if the US, the UK and France were all set to launch the quick little military intervention in Syria they had cooked up, a punitive strike enforcing Pres. Obama's red line against chemical weapons. Then the British Parliament blinked. Pres. Obama suddenly reversed course and handed the matter over to the US Congress. And he had a little chat with Vladimir Putin at the G20 meeting.

The MoveOn.org vigil against Syrian bombing Monday night took place at a very fluid time. Based on an apparently off-the-cuff remark by John Kerry, the Russian foreign minister jumped in with a plan for Syria to turn its chemical weapons over to international supervision, a proposal that seemed to quickly gain real traction. At the same time, Harry Reid postponed Thursday's scheduled Senate vote.

As the vigil Monday night on the Capitol Square started to break up, this scene on upper State Street, complete with red lights, seemed to capture the moment when it seemed the rush to bomb Syria might actually be stopped. Will it really happen? Public opinion will be a real factor -- let your Senators and Representative know how you feel. And stay tuned for Pres. Obama's address to the nation tonight.

Yippee! Anyone want one? I got them from moveon.org!

This is a symbolic mark of protest against the new Beta change which Flickr proposes to force upon all users ..

If you wish to make protest, then please only upload a " Black " picture on the 8th December

*** This is available for download should you wish.

With the new platform Beta Team Flickr intend to make further changes that will limit severely the exchanges between users:

1 - There will be no white space below the photo for description, comments or invitations to groups

2 - Difficult to write a comment that contains more than 3 words

3 - We can not see who supports our pics

4 - We can not see in which groups the photo appears

5 - The images of the award will not be visible

6 - The visits will no longer be visible. The latter will only appear in Recent Activity, others will be lost.

7 - For Admin it will become impossible to manage groups so many will close.

8 - Our descriptions, including quotes, links to YouTube or other sites will be hidden

( translated from Italian )

Changes should not delete/destroy/ruin the very factors which caused us to join flickr in the first place ...

"Yahoo has new ideas. flickr is offering 1 TB free space for all accounts. Those who want to be rid of advertisements have to pay.

I appeal you all those who plan to quit, to change your mind and stay. You can make use of your accounts just for storage. Make your accounts private, make this image public and use flickr for storage. You can save on external hard disks.

If we check in to a hotel room seeing it's features, should we bear it without a word of protest if they take away the furniture one by one including the bed ? flickr should know that the people who protest are not against 'changes'.

Changes shouldn't steal away the utilities that made people choose flickr.

Protest ! flickr is not just the property of few people who get paid to serve the people that make it. If they offer 1 TB free space for every account, the salaried people who planned it have advertisements in mind. Many unique special utilities made people like you and me join flickr, and flickr is taking away all what that made us choose it. Now the only special thing in flickr is 1 TB free storage. Let's then make use of it, without caring about flickr's revenue. We can seek better places for what we like, still keep this place for storage. If the 'hotel' stinks and cheated us, make it your warehouse or sty. If this is forced on us, you can make your account private, store everything here; display , share and comment elsewhere.

Thank you.

NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE

*I specify for those who haven't seen the Beta page;that there is NO

white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations /

flickr Award Counter

Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image ,showing ONLY the last 4 comments

White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes

Unfortunately everything we can do is absolutely useless ....

Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for teens and young using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is Hi or Lol

Motivated photographers using computers and large screens are no longer interesting users.... ( nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity "Page....The oldest are lost ....)

Protest-Tag gegen die neue Beta Version…….. das wäre das Ende

Bitte unterstützt den Protest, wenn ihr nicht mit dem neuen Flickr Layout einverstanden seid, das Flickr bald realisieren wird.

www.flickr.com/photos/110293295@N04/11147629795/

Vielen Dank!

Am Sonntag, dem 8. Dezember 2013, ist der SCHWARZE FLICKR TAG, um gegen die erneut kommenden massiven Änderungen zu protestieren, denen wir bald wieder ausgesetzt sein werden (oder wir Flickr verlassen…)

Wenn ihr den Protest gegen diese einschneidenden Veränderungen unterstützen wollt, könnt ihr dieses Bild runterladen:

hier: www.flickr.com/photos/anujnair/11166980463/

oder auch hier: www.flickr.com/photos/110293295@N04/11147629795/

Anschließend ladet ihr es hoch. Am 8. Dezember sollte es das erste Bild sein, das in eurem Photostream sichtbar ist. Falls nötig, aktualisiert das Datum, damit es wieder an erster Stelle erscheint.

Danke!

Die Beta Version wird im Moment bisher nur in den englischsprachigen Ländern eingesetzt. Für diejenigen, die sie bisher noch nicht gesehen haben, werden die Veränderungen nachfolgend im Einzelnen aufgelistet:

-Unter dem Bild gibt es keinen Platz mehr, um das Bild zu beschreiben;

kein Kommentarfeld/Einladungen/Flickr Award Counter.

-Auf der rechten Seite des Bildes gibt es nur noch ein schmales Kommentarfeld, das NUR die letzten vier Kommentare anzeigt.

-weiße Schrift auf schwarzen und deprimierenden Hintergrund, der den Augen wehtut.

-es ist schwierig, Kommentare, die länger als zwei oder drei Worte sind, zu schreiben.

-Man kann nicht mehr sehen, wer das Bild favorisiert hat.

-Man kann nicht mehr sehen, in welche Gruppen das Bild gestellt wurde (nur noch 8 Gruppen)

-Awards werden nicht mehr gezeigt.

-Einladungen sind nicht mehr sichtbar (außer der letzten – bei den „Neuesten Aktivitäten“). Ältere Einladungen gehen verloren.

-Für die Gruppen-Admins wird die Arbeit sehr viel schwieriger oder wird gänzlich unmöglich.

Einige Gruppen werden schließen…und es sind die Gruppen, die unsere Bilder bisher sichtbar gemacht haben. Sie haben es uns möglich gemacht, wunderbare Arbeiten zu sehen und großartige Fotografen kennen zu lernen.

-Unsere Bildbeschreibungen einschließlich Zitate, links zu YouTube oder anderen Seiten sind nicht mehr sichtbar.

KEINE GESELLIGKEIT UND KEINE SICHTBARKEIT DER UNS LIEBGEWORDENEN DINGE MEHR. ES MACHT KEINEN SINN.

Das neue Layout zielt auf die Bedürfnisse von Tablets- und Smartphone Benutzer ab.

Hi,

Recently Flickr did a remodel of the site and it was VERY poorly done. I am hoping to get at least 10,000 signatures to turn into Marissa Mayer. Please share this with all your friends! We need this to go viral.

That's why I signed a petition to Marissa Mayer, CEO, which says:

"We ask you to please change Flickr back to its old style. The new style is incredibly poorly done and we had no chance to opt out or even pick between the new and old style."

Will you sign the petition too? Click here to add your name:

Thanks!

Pics from this afternoon's "We Choose to Fight: Nobody Elected Elon" MoveOn protest at the Department of Treasury.

Just based on what I saw, I'd say 1500 people came to fight back against the oppressive, dehumanizing techniques of the current administration.

I really did not want to go, I feel so scarred after the Proud Boys visits in 2020. But I could not look myself in the mirror and stand back anymore. So just like 1.0, all of these photos are available on Flickr in Creative Commons for media, influencers, and everyday people like me and you to use. Or just take and share any of these. Attribution requested.

Minneapolis, Minnesota

March 15, 2011

This was a pro-union rally in response to recent union issues in Wisconsin. They support wage earners, labor unions and collective bargaining. They're against corporate tax breaks, large bonuses for company executitves and concentration of wealth in the upper income levels. The rally was sponsored by several groups including MoveOn.org and AFSCME.

Signs read:

UNITED WE BARGAIN

DIVIDED WE BEG

PEOPLE HAVE DIED

....and it's alright to look down for a while.

But don't dwell on it; We have to move on

Self-faith is crucial.

Me, in one of my darkest (pardon the pun) moments.

i've found love in ransom-note-style lettering

so you will be seeing this from me now :,)

Thanks to fellow user Lex-O I'm now fully aware of what's going on, and here's my protest.

In case you guys don't know what's going to happen, here's the text I found on his page.

This is a symbolic mark of protest against the new Beta change which Flickr proposes to force upon all users ..

If you wish to make protest, then please only upload a " Black " picture on the 8th December

*** This is available for download should you wish.

With the new platform Beta Team Flickr intend to make further changes that will limit severely the exchanges between users:

1 - There will be no white space below the photo for description, comments or invitations to groups

2 - Difficult to write a comment that contains more than 3 words

3 - We can not see who supports our pics

4 - We can not see in which groups the photo appears

5 - The images of the award will not be visible

6 - The visits will no longer be visible. The latter will only appear in Recent Activity, others will be lost.

7 - For Admin it will become impossible to manage groups so many will close.

8 - Our descriptions, including quotes, links to YouTube or other sites will be hidden

********************************************************************** ************

This is a symbolic mark of protest against the new Beta change which Flickr proposes to force upon all users ..

If you wish to make protest, then please only upload a " Black " picture on the 8th December

*** This is available for download should you wish.

With the new platform Beta Team Flickr intend to make further changes that will limit severely the exchanges between users:

1 - There will be no white space below the photo for description, comments or invitations to groups

2 - Difficult to write a comment that contains more than 3 words

3 - We can not see who supports our pics

4 - We can not see in which groups the photo appears

5 - The images of the award will not be visible

6 - The visits will no longer be visible. The latter will only appear in Recent Activity, others will be lost.

7 - For Admin it will become impossible to manage groups so many will close.

8 - Our descriptions, including quotes, links to YouTube or other sites will be hidden

( translated from Italian )

Changes should not delete/destroy/ruin the very factors which caused us to join flickr in the first place ...

Example of page showing how the Beta Flickr shall be.... in first comment.

"Yahoo has new ideas. flickr is offering 1 TB free space for all accounts. Those who want to be rid of advertisements have to pay.

I appeal you all those who plan to quit, to change your mind and stay. You can make use of your accounts just for storage. Make your accounts private, make this image public and use flickr for storage. You can save on external hard disks.

If we check in to a hotel room seeing it's features, should we bear it without a word of protest if they take away the furniture one by one including the bed ? flickr should know that the people who protest are not against 'changes'.

Changes shouldn't steal away the utilities that made people choose flickr.

Protest ! flickr is not just the property of few people who get paid to serve the people that make it. If they offer 1 TB free space for every account, the salaried people who planned it have advertisements in mind. Many unique special utilities made people like you and me join flickr, and flickr is taking away all what that made us choose it. Now the only special thing in flickr is 1 TB free storage. Let's then make use of it, without caring about flickr's revenue. We can seek better places for what we like, still keep this place for storage. If the 'hotel' stinks and cheated us, make it your warehouse or sty. If this is forced on us, you can make your account private, store everything here; display , share and comment elsewhere.

Thank you.

Anuj Nair"

Users of the English version of Flickr may have got the botton " try our new experience Beta"

This is an incredible regression .....once again

No longer any white space underneath pictures for comments, description, invitations etc....

Everything is gathered in a tiny sidebar to the right of the photo in the Lightbox

All features that allow interaction and sharing have gone so groups might also disappear ......

You may take a look here

yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/224533-flickr-photo-page-beta

If you want to save the groups from a certain death, Please click this blue link and go to vote

yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/224533-flickr-photo-page-beta/...

We had got used (more or less) the first changes, but this time, it is a

total scuttling of Flickr and of its spirit of sharing :(

We can't see who faved our pictures

We can't see the groups the pictures appear in ( except only 8)

Awards images. are not shown

Invitations are not visible except for the last ones (only in "Recent Activity").They're lost.

For admins group management will become a work more and more difficult or even impossible

Groups might close......and groups add visibility to our pictures

Our descriptions including quotes or links to YouTube or other sites are hidden

NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE

*I specify for those who haven't seen the Beta page;that there is NO

white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations /

flickr Award Counter

Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image ,showing ONLY the last 4 comments

White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes

Unfortunately everything we can do is absolutely useless ....

Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for teens and young using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is Hi or Lol

Motivated photographers using computers and large screens are no longer interesting users.... ( nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity "Page....The oldest are lost ....)

How many people know what represents the Beta Page ?? I wonder ?

Only some users of the English version of Flickr ..... but not all of them

All this is very discouraging

T H A N K Y O U !!!!!!!!!

Did you know that flickr has been testing a new beta version of flickr?

I haven't actually seen the beta page but I've had it described to me:

"...there is NO white area under the pictures for descriptions / comments / invitations / flickr Award Counter

Only a narrow sidebar to the right of the image ,showing ONLY the last 4 comments

White print on a black and depressive background, that hurts the eyes

No sense. Hard to write comments exceeding 2 or 3 words

We can't see who faved our pictures

We can't see the groups the pictures appear in ( except only 8 )

Awards images. are not shown in comments : which means that neither members nor admins can check

Admin-Invitations are not displayed ( the last ones are visible ONLY in "Recent Activity").The oldest are lost

For admins , group management will become a work more and more difficult or even impossible

Some groups might close......and groups add visibility to our pictures

They allow us to admire beautiful works and to meet with great photographers.

Our descriptions including quotes or links to YouTube or other sites are hidden

NO LONGER ANY CONVIVIALITY.. ANY VISIBILITY . NO SENSE

In fact this layout specifically targets tablets and smartphones"

_Feedback

Unfortunately everything we can do seems absolutely useless ....

Yahoo and Flickr don't care

Unfortunately it is obvious that Yahoo wants to turn Flickr into another social network for people (mainly teens and young ) using only tablets and smartphones and whose only interaction is Hi or Lol

Motivated photographers still using computers (with photo-softwares) and large screens are no longer desirable customers....

( nor groups since our invitations are only visible on our "Recent Activity "Page....The oldest are lost ....and everything is done to impede their functioning)

Advertising is much much more lucrative than our Pro accounts .......

How many people know what represents the Beta Page ?? I wonder ?

Only some users of the English version of Flickr ..... but not all of them

Users of any other language have not been informed.... amazing No ??

All this is very discouraging

A big special Thank You to Marissa Mayer

Andrew at the "Rally to Save the American Dream" protest in support of Wisconsin. Dupont Circle, Washington, DC.

There comes a time when your head hits the ceiling; in love, in a relationship, work, and career. And it doesn’t happen because you don’t care. It happens because you tried to fix unfixable for a long time—fitting & adjusting something that was not meant to stay. And you leave because life and more or less “young healthy age” won’t last forever. You erupt like a Sicilian volcano and just go because to stay more destructive than walk / drive into unknown.

Thousands of people gathered in San Francisco for “Families Belong Together”, a protest against the Trump regime’s cruel and inhumane immigration policies. This national day of action took place on June 30, 2018 and was organized by MoveOn, with local partners Indivisible San Francisco, Women's March SF and many more Bay Area civic groups. The morning march started at 10am in Dolores Park and ended in front of San Francisco’s Civic Center, where a rally was held from 11am to 1pm. These photos are from the rally only.

People from diverse ethnic backgrounds participated in this rally, from latinos to muslims and asian-americans. Musicians included folk singer Joan Baez, who led a sing-along of “De Colores”, along with rapper Gina Madrid and singers of all ages. Speakers represented a wide variety of community voices, as well as elected officials such as Mayor Mark Farrell and Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer. Many of our friends joined this rally, including Sheri Cooper, Clancy Bounds, Priscilla Wheeler, Evelyn Messinger and members of the Mill Valley Community Action Network (MVCAN).

People held many creative signs demanding that we reunite families torn apart by our racist government, end their detention and abolish ICE, which carries out the Trump’s “zero tolerance” policies. Others participants focused on defeating Republicans in the midterm elections and taking action to impeach Trump and his accomplices.

"Families Belong Together" brought us all closer together, inspired and informed us, and energized us to push back against hate and racism -- through lpeaceful resistance.
