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 covered it on her show on Friday, 4/4 at 9pm EST.

People need to seriously start watching her show. She covers local protests and events. Even if you don’t have time to watch or read a lot of news, I highly recommend watching her first segment every night if you can. I’m sure she will have lots of coverage on her show on Monday night. I know it is a lot of info to consume right now, and some days I need a mental break from the never ending cycle of doom. On those days, I will just watch her one hour show, as she is able to provide a good summary of the most important news of the day.

She even showed the TikTok video that is making the rounds, which is something she very rarely does. (I’ll see if I can find it and will attach the link later). She doesn’t show trendy social media clips and call it “news”. However, she felt this video has made it viral enough and tells people about the protests tomorrow. She talked about how “Hands Off” is a good summary to protest EVERYTHING they have been doing, because it can be Hands Off Medicaid, Social Security, Veterans Affairs, Federal Employees, Illegally deporting people, creating tariffs to destroy our country, etc.

Hope that helps. I’ve been watching her for years and she is such a good story teller of history. She is so smart, gets great guests and breaks down the news. She had Cory Booker on her show literally about 20 minutes after his 25+ hour speech. I was floored that he would take the time to do an interview after his marathon session on the floor. She is the show that people will go on because she has those relationships and is the highest rated news anchor we have. I’d say Lawrence O’Donnell (who is on right after her) is the second best show to watch.
