    They are being suppressed in media coverage, but there are people protesting. Media coverage paints a false picture that no one in the US is fighting back

    Here’s one from today with 1000 people in Boise, Idaho

    Here’s a super incomplete timeline with just a handful of the nationwide protests. I’m missing a lot, I’m just showing your the photos I had from recent memory


    8 days ago there were national protest for science funding cuts. Here’s the main one in DC


    11 days ago there were nationwide protests in all 50 US state capitols + DC + Many cities within those states. This was part of the 50501 movement

    Portland, Oregon

    Monroe, Wisconsin

    San Fransisco, California

    Albany, New York

    Raleigh, North Carolina

    Richmond, Virginia

    Austin, Texas

    Protests Outside Fox News in New York City


    16 days ago there were large protest in the Iowa Statehouse


    19 days ago, a protest in Cherry Hill, New Jersy outside Tesla Showroom as part of a nationwide movement protesting Telsas. There have been tons more than just this one and these happen basically every day


    21 days ago, large protests in DC for Ukraine aid


    And so on. There’s a lot more going on than just this

      Thank you for posting this. I’m so sick of ignorant people outside my country (US) spouting nonsense about nothing happening here.

      These people are almost as bad as the US conservatives when it comes to believing only what they see on their news.

      That’s… kind of sad. There’s like dozens of people in those pictures. Honestly, no surprise media doesn’t report it, I’ve seen barbecues with higher attendance. Americans need to do a lot better.

        I feel like we are all on the same side here? Perhaps not

          I think so, but look at the protests in Serbia (or south Korea recently, or France every other month since the invention of the baguette), or basically any other country… and look at the pictures of protests in the US. The difference is remarkable.
