I am SO PROUD of my country and SO PROUD of you for filming this! I know you’re upset about the audio but the impact is made with the number of people there in front of the Lincoln center… I just have no words! From the red state of Florida, I salute you, applaud you and admire your tenacity! I pray that we can all come together and remove the orange stain from office and his black maga stain, Elonia!!!
There was a protest here in Albuquerque, NM. I didn't go, but I've been checking out local news this afternoon and have yet to find ANY mention, let alone coverage of it! And every day I get progressively angrier! I'm not alone in my anger, either!
Call your local stations and ask each of them why they aren’t covering it. Sure, they’re not very likely to change their fascist-enabling ways. But they might. If they get enough pushback, criticism, and calls it might make a dent.
Thanks so much for attending the DC protest and writing about it. I will not be surprised if the protests get completely buried or trivialized by the MSM. I live in a small city in a blood red part of northern California and I was expecting maybe 50 or 60 to show up at our protest. Instead, there were hundreds of people, very worked-up people, and I would say the vast majority of people who drove by in cars were supportive, honking and waving in support. There was a tiny little knot of counter-protestors at one end who were mostly just giving everyone the finger.
Given that my city is so very right wing, there was some concern from friends from other, bluer areas about my safety. But I really felt that I couldn't NOT show up, and if I was afraid to go, then I absolutely had to go. I left feeling heartened and energized. Another reason I recommend attending things like this, if you can, is that the MSM is most likely not going to cover them, so it is really great to see it with your own eyes. It is helping me to keep my faith alive, spirits up, and resolve stiffened.
We went to our Harrisburg Pennsylvania March. Not sure if it made the news although I did see them there. I wanted to hug everyone there and thank them. My 15 year old son came with me.
Here in NYC we had an awesome crowd for NOT MY PRESIDENTS DAY starting at Union Square and then marched at least a mile blocking traffic on 5th Avenue to Washington Square Park. I stuck around for about 3 hours. I would say its a good start with demonstrations in Boston, Portland and around the country. Light coverage on msm due to plane crash in Toronto yet successful !
I’m told 50501 has some affiliation with Bernie Sanders.
Thank you Sue! From Southeast Missouri I appreciate anyone in this state who is willing to speak out about the rise of facism and hatred! What our legislature in Missouri is doing against the will of voters is despicable! Do you follow Jess Piper? She is awesome👍
Ogre, thanks for doing this; I was watching/listening right there with you! Sorry the weather was so cold for you. Hey, and don’t forget to count all of us watching with you in the count!
Woohoo! YES! Sooooo glad you went and did your video and interviews! THANK YOU! Looks like an awesome turnout. I'm on the west coast and there were some good rallies in the San Francisco Bay Area that the local TV stations are covering. I'm so grateful to each and every person who went out there in America today and voiced our RESISTANCE!
Thank you for sharing this with us. It's good to see that people are not quietly accepting fascism as inevitable for our country. Even if mainstream media doesn't want to cover it, it will still be seen and heard because of people like you.
At least they are fighting back against the ridiculous lawsuit that dump has filed against them! We'll see how much more happens after that. It's starts small.
Our local Dems organized a last minute protest in my FL MAGA infested town. Around 200 people showed up…a fair amount considering the cops are rarely seen at Dem events as they are all in the bag for the orange menace & DuhSantis. There were a surprising number of “thumbs up” at the busy intersection & also a fair share of assholes blowing their diesel smoke in our faces & giving us the finger.
Still, no one was shot at or run over so I’m foretelling a change in our favor!
The protest numbers here in little old Flagstaff were easily ten times larger than I was expecting. Of the people I talked with, I had been the most pessimistic, but *all* of us were surprised at the size of the turnout. We are multitudes, and we are seething.

True. I've seen lots of coverage, but all from independent sources. The free press is apparently only independents now.

Public resistance is underway !
Power to the PEOPLE !!!
We had a protest of several hundred here in Chesterfield, MO, and our local CBS affiliate had good coverage on several time slots.

CBS evening news tonight; I didn’t see a single reference to the protests.

Literally just popped up on the news

Thank you for your courage! This is how it starts. When it warms expect much larger and more frequent gatherings! Outrage is building rapidly.

Attended in my town.
Almost no coverage on national media. Eff them.
I hope the corporate and RW media get spanked during the next several election cycles. I want a bigger repeat of the 2018 shellacking.
