Remember, billionaires do not want people organizing at all.

All the US tv stations are owned by one oligarch or another. None of them have broadcast much of the numbers. They merely do report these things as “large and significant” to say that they aren’t behind on the happenings, but they’ll spare the details until things like AP and Guardian, and NPR start reporting with solid facts.

That’s why I have been a strong advocate for making sure the crowds are visualized. It’s harder to discount.

There were zero mainstream media outlets at the protest I went to (which was in a state’s capitol city.)

People in the crowd pointed it out, loudly and frequently enough that for a brief moment, one of the crowd’s chants became, “Where’s the media?” (Or something very similar; I don’t remember verbatim.)

I think we should hold our next events in front of prominent media offices. The news won’t come to us? We’ll go to the news. We have to make it impossible for them to ignore us.

This is presumably part of the problem here in America, and why it took as long as it did to get this many people activated and mobilized. Either way, organizers have been organizing. The movement is growing across this very large country of ours.

Oh forgot to add this:

Et vive la liberté !
