I’m shocked that I haven’t seen one protest yet. Is the media suppressing them? If there aren’t any, why?

    Check out @usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml posts. They are posting pictures of grassroots protests across the country every day. Like has been said, there hasn’t been THE big mass protest, but there is constant local activism and protest, just mostly ignored by media.

      Glad to hear my posts are going noticed. Indeed, there are lot more than you might think. I’ll repost one of my long comments with details about protests here. Wrote this five days ago so mentally subtract 5 days from all the times


      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 [meaning five days ago] 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
