Where can I get news about today's 50501 protests? There seems to be frighteningly little news about this in the mainstream media.

[dandomrude@lemmy.world]

Thousands of demonstrators rallied at hundreds of events on Saturday (...)

Thousands? Were there just 100 protestors at 100 events? That would be already 10,000...WTF...

Edit: If this is true (thousands in Portland alone) - and why wouldn't it be - it's a massive understatement by the New York Times...and this is prolly one of the few more or less independent/somewhat objective outlets left. C'mon...

There's a protest scheduled for today in Fresno. I'd be there right now if I had gas money or a ride. Only learned about it on Thursday; didn't have time to plan anything. ‍

Hell yeah! It's huge.

Seems like a direct source. You can search for events near you and who is organizing them.

/50501 here and on reddit.

Why would the news, controlled and operated by oligarchs, give people protesting oligarchs any coverage?

[dandomrude@lemmy.world]

Do you think reddit is immune to the oligarchs? I don't think so at all.

Edit: What I'm saying is: post here rather than on reddit. There are no current updates in the Lemmy community. And I'm assuming that the discussion is taking place on reddit because everyone is somehow still there. Why is that? Why is everyone still there when it's clear as day that reddit is so rotten that Aaron Swartz would roll over in his grave if he had to witness that.

The revolution will not be televised.

[sxan@midwest.social]

Not until it becomes violent, at which point it'll be demonized by Media.

[justanotherkay@lemmy.world]

it'll be demonized monetized by Media.

Agreed.
