On Feb. 15, 2003, millions of people marched in over 600 cities against the plans of U.S. President George W. Bush to invade Iraq.
First time?
But there was a massive amount of coverage on how disliked Bush was (man, in fucking comparison…) whereas op’s post is about how major the protest is vs. how little coverage there is of it.
The text in the image says it’s the first time, though. Don’t support misinformation just because it makes us look good
Many of those protests were shut down too. I was up in MA for the Blood for Oil/WMD protest. We were shut down due to a ‘bad actor’ that not one of us witnessed. Neither the bad actor nor the protest made the papers.
Props to the AP, Newsweek, and USA Today for covering 50501 while the rest show where their loyalty lies.
The revolution will not be televised
I finally understand what that means.
I hate finding out how my great grandparents felt in the early 1900’s – so ironic their children couldn’t care less about repeating history
Many people’s great grandparents saw bad shit happen and then kept enabling it. Is it irony or plain ol’ stupidity?
its safer not to get involved. the downside is that the problem will not go away by itself.
Fun fact, this is the first time we get someone really serious about fixing anything and the left completely ostracized and scared about the absurd amount of people that will go to jail and/or lose their bullshit DEI jobs funding transgender plays in another country.
Fun fact, billions of dollars go through USAID for global health and humanitarian needs and idiots cry to dismantle it because of $70k on a theater play (which turned out wasn’t a USAID project). When actual legal paths to contest specific spending do exist.
Oy, sometimes I wish I could be as deluded as this, biggest fears being DEI (ahem, brown/black) and trans people. AHHHHH, so scary for the alpha males.
Okay, but fascism apart, how can you explain USIAD wasting money on transgender plays and DEI initiatives… there’s something wrong here there for sure.
