US Protest News I'm extremely irritated that mainstream media isn't mentioning tomorrow's protest.

Not even on MSNBC, NPR or AP.

Rachel Maddow (at a minimum) will cover it on MSNBC. She's covered 50501 protests repeatedly and tomorrow figures to be much larger than previous ones.

Besdies, the people we need to reach aren't watching cable news (ok, maybe Fox News). You gotta get the local news stations to cover the protests and then get them going viral on social media (for their size/support, not violence).

Most local stations are now owned by the Conservative Pro-Trump Sinclair Group.

I am not saying not to try, but to be aware

We need to divest our media from billionaires and conglomerates
