of many levels of interest in our class

I came upon this in my reading this morning: "She Tweeted Against the Mexican Cartels. They Tweeted Her Murder".

The title is sensationalist, but the article describes well the possibilities of social media for local community action when other sources are — for whatever reasons — denied.

The article also describes the risks and consequences of using social media in such contexts, so different  from what you and I experience when we tweet, I assume.
