Great work to everyone who stands up to hatred and fascism! ❤️

I watched some of the protests when they were live on YouTube. The fact there was apparently so little media coverage of people protesting against a fascist racist who appointed a Nazi as a special government employee and wants to annex Canada is simply mindboggling.

Feb 5* also thank you for this post I am glad it is getting reach.

On February 5 (when this was happening) there was an infuriating number of posts saying “why aren’t pro-Palestine protesting?”

And then I’d get downvotes for pointing out people, in fact, protesting.

So many people with their eyes intentionally closed… felt so hopeless.

For y'all who've never protested before... The reason why they don't cover it is because they never cover protests (unless people actually FSU then it's a "riot")... Maybe if libs cared when it happened to activists for BLM, anti-genocide, etc... Now it's just completely normal.

I hope the whole stadium boos him off the stands at the Superbowl

The media will replace the boos with cheers or block the audio completely so they don't get sued.

If you plan to do protesting - i wpuld highly recommend getting a Faraday bag gor your phone. Just turning it off isn't good enough

Protests alone will not stop the nazis. They also didn't in Germany ~90 years ago. I hooe people get that and organize. Fast.

Really?! The worlds largest propaganda machine is playing tricks on us?!1!

Facebook knows who is sensitive to this kind of news, they know who would join a protest and who not. And they can decide to whom to show which news. How many people use Facebook & co. as their main source of information? Or main medium to organize?
