The March yesterday showing the disdain for Trump was great.

I'm very disappointed by the lack of coverage of the march. The Guardian and Politico are the only two well-known media outlets that covered the Washington march. No mention of the marches in 350 other places. It seems that media bias is alive and well.

I was wondering about that because I didn’t watch tv at all yesterday. I was hoping the marches (local & national) were being covered. I will check local newspaper & TV today.

I didn't notice much of anything in the Tulsa world. The Traverse City Record Eagle did have a story, but not on the front page

The WaPo is far too busy courting Trump to report anything other than pap.

I saw coverage on ABC NY news last night. It was a few minutes worth but that's all they gave all their other news.

I unsubscribed to ABC. They kissed the ring and have been complicit in the march toward authoritarianism, fascism, and fake-Christian Nationalism. They dont deserve my time or attention, and they are not worth yours.

So true!! I looked for it all over YouTube as well. Thank goodness my sister sent me this https://x.com/allenanalysis/status/1880764092081996255?s=10

Not sure if it will show on here, but it was from an instagram site for Allen Analysis. It showed so many people opposing Trump yesterday. It was incredible!!!!! It proved to me once again that the election was interfered with!!!!! I’m still so disappointed in our Democrats!!! Not one has come forward to push back on this immoral, illegal fight for our democracy. For our country!!! No one called for a recount. No one called for an investigation!!! I have given so much of my money to the Democrats only to be so let down. When we finally had a hero running for president, Bernie Sanders, the DNC sabotaged his chances!!! Yes, Obama stopped him. He didn’t want Bernie, who was against the large corporations. Bernie knew the deal. He knew the dangers of Oligarchs and would have been a great asset!! I will never forgive Obama for that!! It has gone downhill from that point on.

Legacy media is going full genuflection on Trump, in a desperate attempt to gain relevancy and grovel on behalf of their billionaire backers. It won't work---why would MAGA preferred the cover band version of rightwing rage when they can read the real deal elsewhere---but it does mean we'll need to grow independent outlets like Meidas into entities that exist in the mainstream media.

I didn't hear anything about any March? Was it to protect the orange criminal?

It's the annual Women's March that started in 2017 with women wearing the pink "pussy' hats.

From Wikipedia: The Women's March was a worldwide protest on January 21, 2017, the day after the first inauguration of Donald Trump as the president of the United States. It was prompted by Trump's policy positions and rhetoric, which were and are seen as misogynistic and representative as a threat to the rights of women.

It attracted the largest crowd EVER to show up in protest of a President. Guess who! In 2017! It was awesome. Why is no one aware of that. Makes me really sad

I love BBC because we also get an outside of the box perspective of events and we can have a better understanding of what's going on.

Its asyounding how our allies seem to care more about whats going on here, than our supposedly American media. They were supposed to have our backs, be transparent anc honest, brutally so, in reporting on the government. They were supposed to be our check on the government. They have not only failed, miserably, but were actually complicit in our march toward authoritarianism, fascism, and fake-Christian Nationalism. Those who purport yo be Christian, Yes, you Mike Johnson, Pete Hegseth, Robert(?) Vought, et al, just remember Jesus said,"What ever you do unto the least of my brothers(people), you do unto me." and "Vengence is mine.", sayethvthe Lord. Your punishment will be swift(relatively, but in Gods time), and it will be brutal. God(Jesus) does not play!!!

Unfortunately it’s not enough to keep him from the White House. I don’t know what or who can stop him, but we must!!! Some people think he will not do so much harm. If he does get in I pray they are right. I just don’t trust him.

Nationwide Massive boycotts of certain products would be a start..........

Support for imported procucts from all places slammed with the "bully tariffs" .......

not sure about that.

"Boycott Billboards".......put up to all over the place........

National Shutdown Day..........every worker would walk out

Formations of underground newspapers from basments........street handouts.......

Follow and learn all resistance methods that took place in Nazi Germany..........

worker saboutage in factories........secret holding areas to protect deportation subjects.....

Creation of undrerground resistance movements to counter the Maggat goon squads that will be hitting the streets..........including informants/plants

Organize womens protection groups for travelling alone at night.......phone numbers...pre-planning may be imperitive..........

Maggot Mysogyny will be on the increase as womens rights are attacked even more

Democrat fighters need to step up....drop the wimp factor and put their lives on the line.

The list is long...............

Just getting the ball rolling.....basic ideas to exorcise angst, fear and the shit that makes people give up......... not an option.

I have done stuff like this on a much smaller scale......it works.....it takes time and energy.

Once again recommend IHIPNEWS on Christian Nationalism......Jennifer and Angie live in the apex of Fake Christian Hate Cult World.

John Fugelsang Siruus XM has the "God Squad" on every week.......

Trump doesn’t deserve it!! It’s as simple as that!!! I’m trying to think of something to say that will make a difference. I’m so disappointed in the Democrats. Yet, they still ask for donations!! Why should I give?? What are they doing for us???

Just unsubscribe or tell them no when you get those donation requests I think it’s just built into the algorithms

Why disappointed in the Democrats. Don’t let that trumpdumper attitude touch you. They have done their best and still will. The liar in cheat had how many years to threaten, harass, or buy electoral votes among others . He did not win, as usual he stole with his lying evil ways.

trump has what Biden has never had. Biden puts his head down and gets to work. He needed to let us know everything he did.

trump has a huge boastful, dishonest, vulgar, lying mouth. He and his appointees have no conscience. He never wanted to “drain the swamp”. Raise the debt ceiling and see how fast he drains us.

Anyway….. thanks for letting me vent.😳

I am with you, believing that he will do all evil he has threatened.

I’m still watching this “Pam Bondi” hearing. I’m too curious to see how it goes. Rick Scott and Eric Schmitt are saying wonderful things about her. How crime has dropped!! Are they kidding? What about all the shootings that went on in Florida?? I’m sure as a Republican she is against any gun control laws!! Give me a break!!!!

I happen to be watching Pam Bondi’s hearing on C-Span. I thought this already occurred, but it is saying that it’s live. I cannot believe what Chuck Grassley is saying about the DOJ. What a hypocrite!!!! Thank god the next speaker Dick Durbin is telling the truth!!! This is obviously not live!!! It is sickening to me to see these senators supporting Trump!! I’m not going to watch it. I never knew who Pam Bondi was or that she was the Attorney General for Florida!! I live in Florida and am so fed up with the leaders here. It’s too bad that Florida is so large. I think there are too many old southerners here who haven’t “let go” of the results of the civil war. Thankfully, Many new people are moving here.
