    I was a Why don’t you fucking protest!?-guy here on Lemmy and I am not, anymore. It takes time to organize. This is beautiful, I’m proud of you. Keep it up!

      The media doesn’t cover protests. Most local channels are owned by mega corps like Sinclair.

      The problem is that information outlets are owned by bad actors.

      Yeah same, Americans are finally kind of getting off their asses and doing something. I don’t think it’s gonna be enough but it’s better than nothing.

        Crowds like this have been protesting for months. I saw similar images from various cities at the first 50501 protest. As another commenter posted, media simply hasn’t been covering them.

        Please don’t confuse a lack of coverage for a lack of protests.

        I don’t understand why you’re getting down-voted. Living abroad and have stopped listening to news since the Trump election. Every 6 months I tune in, and while it seems a lot has happened, no progress has actually been made

        this seems cool, but… so what? cute photo op and a tale for the grandkids…

          Exactly. How many peaceful demonstrations that change nothing are they gonna have before they realize what they have to do?
