I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

If you are not affirmatively reporting as FACT that the deliberate authoritarian fear tactic of having ICE and LEOs run around masked, refusing to identify themselves in any way, is DIRECTLY responsible for a fake cop assassinating elected officials, then you are a fascist collaborator operation.

NYT map of locations is journalistic malpractice. Butte, MT had 550, or 1.7% of population, at No Kings. Research suggests if we get to 3.5%, we save democracy. This march (and many others in Montana) is easily confirmable through Indivisible. Only Billings is shown on map. #mtpol #nokings

The protests are a minor headline on the website. If your social media team can recognize the moment, please ask whoever is in charge of which stories get buried to knock it off.

There is irony in the fact that there was more law and order in the streets of the US with millions of protestors there today than when the criminal thugs from ICE were violating US law and the Constitution in their assaults on anyone who looked Latino during the last few weeks.

And it's over halfway down your online front page, aka "below the fold". Millions of people are protesting against the guy who wants to be America's King, and is using every lever of power that he controls (or thinks he does) - but by you that's Page 2 news.

Saturday we rally all over to sing: America will have No Kings! While Bone Spurs does his birthday thing, we peacefully proclaim: No Kings! While toadies line up to kiss his ring, We the People unite in cause: No Kings! While he rages and sulks amid golden bling, Patriots pledge: Forever No Kings!

When people start to doubt and are scared to do the right thing or challenge their government, it is a sure sign that the country is moving towards authoritarianism. The government is there to serve the public, not the other way around. Peaceful, but loud protesting, is a must.

Millions of Americans came out today to publicly express their dissatisfaction with the President and his administration. Millions of Americans nationwide coming out seems like it should be getting a lot more news coverage in all media considering the scale and the stakes.
