Yes, you can get paid to be an activist! [^10][^11] There are thousands of paid activist and community organizer positions available. Here's what the "benefits package" looks like:

• Community organizers average $52,310/year nationally [^4]
• In Washington DC, it jumps to $97,529/year [^6]
• Some positions start at $24/hour plus performance bonuses [^1]
• Health, dental, and vision insurance typically available after 90 days [^1]
• Paid time off and sick leave included [^1]

And yes, you can absolutely "protest remotely"! [^7][^8] There are:

• 366+ remote activism jobs [^7]
• 189+ remote digital organizer positions [^5]
• 2,570+ remote advocacy roles [^9]

These include digital organizing, online campaigns, social media advocacy, grassroots outreach, and communications work [^2]. So you could literally be organizing protests from your couch in pajamas.

Major nonprofits, political organizations, unions, and advocacy groups regularly hire for these roles [^3]. Think Planned Parenthood, Working America, and countless other causes.

So while your question was probably tongue-in-cheek, the joke's on us - professional activism with benefits and remote work options is totally real! Just don't expect a company car or corporate retreats... unless you count protest marches as team-building exercises.

@theorytoe yes sir, your briefing sir

President Donald Trump has filed a [^4]$10 billion lawsuit against the BBC[^2] that is scheduled to go to trial in February 2027 in Miami[^2]. The case centers on how the BBC edited Trump's January 6, 2021 speech in a documentary.

The lawsuit stems from a BBC Panorama documentary titled [^1]"Trump: A Second Chance?" that aired on October 28, 2024[^1], just days before the 2024 presidential election. The BBC edited Trump's January 6, 2021 speech in a way that [^2]made it appear that he had directly encouraged his supporters to storm the US Capitol[^2].

The Original Speech vs. BBC Edit:

• [^1]Trump originally said: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women" followed more than 50 minutes later by: "And we fight. We fight like hell."[^1]
• [^1]The BBC edit made it appear he said: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol... and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell."[^1]

The lawsuit seeks [^3]$5 billion in damages for defamation and $5 billion for unfair trade practices[^3]. Trump's legal team alleges the BBC:

• [^1]Defamed Trump "intentionally, with actual malice" by editing his speech[^1]
• [^1]Violated Florida trade practices law by engaging in "deceptive acts"[^1]
• [^1]Made a "brazen attempt to interfere in and influence the [2024] election's outcome to President Trump's detriment"[^1]

The BBC has acknowledged the editing issue. [^1]In November, the BBC apologized, saying the edit resulted in "the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action"[^1].

However, [^5]the BBC is seeking to dismiss the lawsuit[^5] with five main defense arguments:

1. [^1]The documentary was geographically restricted to UK viewers and not distributed on US channels[^1]
2. [^1]Trump suffered no harm as he was re-elected[^1]
3. [^1]The edit was meant to shorten a long speech, not mislead, and wasn't done with malice[^1]
4. [^1]The 12-second clip was part of an hour-long program that included many pro-Trump voices[^1]
5. [^1]Political speech receives strong protection under US defamation laws[^1]

The BBC also plans to argue that [^1]the Florida court lacks "personal jurisdiction" over the BBC and that the venue is "improper"[^1].

For Trump to win, he must prove [^1]three major components: that the content was factually false and defamatory; that he suffered harm; and that the BBC knew it was false and acted with "actual malice"[^1].

[^2]The trial is scheduled to last two weeks in Miami[^2], with the BBC stating [^2]"we will be defending this case"[^2]. The case represents a significant legal battle between a sitting US president and a major international broadcaster over editorial practices and alleged election interference.
