My feelings in all this:
Why are Americans not protesting. Are they stupid?
Then
Okay, at least some are really not cool with this.
Then
Oh wait, those Americans not being cool with this must feel really damn bad.
So here’s one European saying thank you for your protests. You are not alone.
- Keep in mind, protests have been happening all along. This one was so huge that even the media had to pick it up. The US is huge too, that's a shit ton of people. Some estimates are in the millions. They don't like covering this stuff, trust me.
  
  AltNPS is saying 5.2M.
  
  But i don’t get why none of those showed up in any feeds if they exist. I am very far left of centre (by american standards) you’d think some of the people i follow would share - or non-us media would.
  But this is not that thread.
  This is the thank-you-thread :)
- For what it’s worth: if you’re relying on legacy media, they tend to avoid covering this stuff until it’s starts getting covered by a lot of other legacy media. You can immediately see the problem there.
- Lots of protests and other activities. People just need to show up. https://www.mobilize.us/
Cool to see the grassroots are working together and are really moving now. And there are a lot of Americans that are fed up enough to actually do something.
IMO USA is a country split between good and evil, and the evil side has been winning way to many battles. Let's hope the tide is turning now.
"Muskrat, whoa, muskrat
Ooh why do you smell so bad?
I've been living in the ground all of my life
I'm mortified in my head, head
I'm mortified in my head
I'm mortified in my head, head
I'm mortified in my head"
God damnit i forgot about that and spent the day writing bad code
