One woman, @amy_siskind, organized a giant march on Washington yesterday, with 60+ solidarity events nationwide, mostly run by women.

@vigil4democracy and @SoSAmerica2019 supported, among other orgs.

The media studiously ignored it. A thread. 1/x

How does America recover from a media that ignores the outrage of its population? That’s content chasing the next spectacle from a deranged emperor? #WeThePeopleMarch 2/x

Mothers and grandmothers bore witness. This was recorded by activist teacher @JoshuaPotash’s mother. #WeThePeopleMarch 3/x

@JoshuaPotash The people want to defend the press, chanting here: “freedom of the press”

But American press absconded from the #WeThePeopleMarch. 4/x

@JoshuaPotash The massive crowd chanted “SHAME!” at @TrumpDC, whose existence is an abomination, a violation of our constitution.

But it’s not news. 🙄 5/x

@JoshuaPotash @TrumpDC Here’s Seattle’s solidarity event for #WeThePeopleMarch. No media. 6/x

@JoshuaPotash @TrumpDC San Francisco’s solidarity event was opened by three granddaughters of iconic activist Harry Bridges, including actress @marielshell, at Harry Bridges Plaza.

With giant Trump in prison stripes. Not a peep from @sfchronicle. 7/x

@JoshuaPotash @TrumpDC @marielshell @sfchronicle The DC march wasn’t just locals. 100+ buses brought in protestors from far away. People flew in from across the country, like Kelly @kamcc71 from Vermont here. But it wasn’t news. 🙄 8/x

@JoshuaPotash @TrumpDC @marielshell @sfchronicle @kamcc71 If 3.5% of Americans march in the streets, but nobody reports it, did it really happen? Will it change anything?

Google “bbc 3.5” and read the top hit that comes up. It’s a quick and easy read that’ll change you! #WeThePeopleMarch 9/x

@JoshuaPotash @TrumpDC @marielshell @sfchronicle @kamcc71 Anyone remember how tea party protests in 2009 were covered?

Shouldn’t we expect at least that when THOUSANDS of citizens march by their illegitimate greedy president’s hotel, chanting #shame?

Explain the radio silence, @washingtonpost! 10/x

Thankfully, we’re not counting on MSM. Today, a dozen locations in DC are being shutdown. Follow @XRebelDC and @ShutDown_DC to see #ShutDownDC action.

Climate Justice is the fifth demand of @SoSAmerica2019 and @vigil4democracy. Follow them too.
