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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

Fifty states, one message: we see through the facade. Simultaneous protests coast-to-coast, and the propaganda machines are in stealth mode. Convenient, isn’t it? A nation erupts, and the so-called “free press” opts for strategic amnesia.

This isn’t apathy—it’s suppression. When every state rises up, the system panics. The Capitol steps become battlegrounds, yet the narrative is buried under celebrity gossip and stock market fluff. They’re scared. Scared of what happens when people realize that unity in dissent is their greatest weapon.

Keep marching. If they won’t cover it, we’ll document it ourselves. The truth doesn’t need their permission to exist.

The revolution will not be televised

On Feb. 15, 2003, millions of people marched in over 600 cities against the plans of U.S. President George W. Bush to invade Iraq.

First time?

The largest protests in the history of the world were in opposition to the invasion of Iraq. The invasion of Iraq still happened.

Protesting sends a message but it isn't enough.

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

It took an elected Nazi to unite a country, agaisnt the Nazi.

We have always known that all broadcast and cable news media is tightly controlled. Hundreds of stations across America literally parrot word for word what each other says.

Now we also know that all social media can also be controlled. There is nowhere safe except small communities that are not controlled by corporations or the government.

They want us disorganized, poor, uneducated, and religious. This is their plan to reduce us to their serfs to be controlled and abused.

The only language fascist speak is violence

A couple weeks ago Trump stated the following: “and he (Musk) knows those computers better than anybody, all those computers, those vote counting computers, and we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide it was pretty good”.

No mainstream news source reported on it despite the fact that it's a borderline confession, and the fact that back in 2020 they gave an insane amount of attention and signal boosting to election fraud claims that had 0 evidence.

Media is on the side of the money, they're not a friend.

Elon and the felon: "Does their protesting stop what we're doing in any way? No? Then why would I care?"

By all means, protest. Push these bad actors. Stick up for democracy! But Is anyone else mildly anxious that JD Vance’s hero, Curtis Yarvin, suggested in 2022, that all Trump needs to do is declare a state of emergency to extend executive immunity to prosecution, and to do it early on? So far, project 2025 combined with the manifestos of Dark Gothic Tech Bros are aligned.

“If the institutions deny the President the Constitutional position he has legally won in the election, the voters will have to act directly. Trump will call his people into the streets—not at the end of his term, when he is most powerless; at the start, when he is most powerful. No one wants to see this nuclear option happen. Preparing for it and demonstrating the capacity to execute it will prevent it from having to happen.”

After Elon's announcement about the department of Ed, I'm feeling indescribable despair. The systematic dismantling of public education in the U.S. has been happening for decades and is a huge part of the reason we're in this mess.

I know that's what they want. For us to feel paralyzed. I'm trying to fight it. But as someone who is convinced the election was tampered with*, I am sick over the fact that they let him in again. Someone should have objected before the inauguration, when an objection actually might have achieved something. I worry that the protests are not going to be enough, as they stay locked in their ivory towers. I'm terrified that a distress signal at the state department was quickly swept under the rug. I thought this is why we developed so many international alliances and treaties after WWII. To prevent fascism from taking hold in our countries. But they're not doing anything. I live in a blue state and haven't heard a peep out of my governor. Why? Are they waiting for things to get worse? Does a certain person in a specific role have to contact outside help? If so, who? We know this is going to be disastrous for more than the U.S., we can already see it happening.

I feel like I'm doing everything in my power and it's still not enough. I have friends who work for the government and they are just as scared and lost as I am. All I can think to do is be prepared for extreme hardship and try to stay involved in my community. What else is there?

*I'm just too tired to debate. If you disagree but are open to changing your mind, I have links in another comment that I encourage you to check out.

It was on the 5th, not the 6th like in your title.
