A small photo on page 1, with a reference to page 19 where you'll find a meh write up about something or other happening. No reference to or pictures of hundreds of thousands of people gathering. Disgusting. Our local news was much better.
How's everyone else's local coverage?

This was my little crew yesterday. There isn't many of us, but allow me sime context. This is deep blood red MAGA country. Rush Limbaugh's hometown of Cape Girardeau, MO. Trump carried 80% of the vote here. There were multiple tornadoes that touched down in the area this week, and we have experienced over 10" of rain in the past 24 hours. We are few, but we are proud to be part of the movement to take back our democracy!
We had bigger plans but the chips were down. We are looking forward to 4/19!
TO THE STREETS

Tehachapi CA went from 40 protesters to over 300 today! The locals magas lost their minds, posting all over FB that we must have been bussed in and were getting paid!!
The truckers were wild! No holding back support today!
The vibe was so positive 90/10 with a smattering of fuck yous, a bunch of coal rolls by the local militia-wannabes and one really angry man.
But the absolute level of support was unprecedented for this town.
It’s happening. People are waking up! ✊🏼❤️🙏🏽

We are building a massive, visible, national rejection of this crisis—and today’s numbers are proof that the people—the majority—are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover.
Because let’s be clear: We do not have a functioning democracy anymore. Trump and his billionaire allies have dismantled our system of checks and balances, stacked the courts, silenced dissent, and declared themselves above the law.
They are disappearing people, attacking universities and the free press, and purging agencies meant to protect the people—from the environment to civil rights to public health.
This is not politics as usual. This is a hostile takeover by billionaires, corporations, and authoritarian enablers.
They are gutting the country for parts—and selling us out in the process.
They are not leaders. They are traitors to the people of this country.
So we are building a People’s Movement. And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.
But we have to earn it. And we have to fight for it.
We may no longer have a functioning democracy—but we still have a chance to restore it. The window is closing though. And we are the ones who must rise to meet this moment.
So here’s what you can do: 📱 Use the 5 Calls app or Resist Bot to contact your elected officials—every single day.
🎤 Demand town halls. Show up at their public appearances.
🚫 Boycott the corporations funding this hostile takeover.
🗣️ Talk to your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. Don’t let them sleep through this moment.
📸 Share protest footage, updates, and facts on social media. Amplify the truth—because the billionaires are trying to drown it out.
📲 And follow us to stay connected, get updates, and join future actions.
We are not alone. We are not powerless. And we are not backing down.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!
This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.
Let’s do this. #nokings #peoplesmovement #50501 #50501movement #april5th #april19
