I'm not amercian, but in other countries is the same. Many people is tired to vote because their problems remain despite who governs and at the end, or quit to vote or vote to populism and the things gone even worst. Look the rise of fascism in EU.
Support these protesters across America, I do from afar. I have also stopped buying American goods/products & definitely food. Around the World do the same even if you’re government doesn’t put Tariffs or retaliate against Trump because there scared or are weak like Keir Starmer who I voted for.
Next on CNN: our nine thousandth story like this: we met some Trump voters at a small town Ohio diner to ask them how they’re holding up since the President returned to the White House because we all give a fuck about what they think and how they feel!
FUN FACT: "A record-breaking 3,028 people in the world are now billionaires, according to Forbes‘ latest rankings—their combined $16.1 trillion in wealth rivals that of most nations."
Yet on your failing web site, your lead story is that Doug Emhoff criticized his law firm for making a deal with Krasnov.
CNN was a beacon for my entire life. You are a sad joke now. All of the real journalists there should find better employment. Disgraceful. And utterly ridiculous.
The plan is to remind Congress that they can choose their constituents over donors. What happened in Wisconsin is a wake-up call that they can and will be replaced.
This is just the beginning. But frankly I am disappointed that a fee people seem to diminish the scale of effort taken yesterday. It is an essential step to wake The hell up for people who only get their news on Fox or conservative media. We are now in their faces in numbers too big to ignore
CNN had to ask their capitalist overlords if it was okay to “report” and how extensive they were allowed to cover it. Uprisings are bad for business. You can still find ways to loot the public under a dictatorship.
I’m vacationing in FL with my parents & we attended a protest here. We were shocked to see CNN mention the protests for about 2 minutes during the evening news… This is why more people are turning to social media for news 👎
@cnn.com you had the best lead about this story and changed “millions” to “scores”? That’s an insane discrepancy…at least say thousands, or hundreds, there were obviously more than 80 people nationwide…
well, I’m a former teacher trying to teach the world about such things so thank you for the insight. I’ve not been exposed to that and most of the people I see are stable journalist so I appreciate that because it makes me more aware.
TRUMP USES TARIFFS TO PUT A CONSUMER TAX ON EVERY AMERICAN IN THE UNITED STATES. STOCK MARKETS 401k CRASH over 6 trillion dollars lost in 48 hours. Americans are pissed and angry at Republicans Trump Musk. As prices start to climb across the board people lose jobs.
Damn right, millions of Americans and their allies showed up for this. Trumpomuskovia must fall, that the US and the rest of the human race may thrive anew!
WHY is this not the top story on your app? This is the biggest news of the day, with over 5 MILLION Americans peacefully protesting in both red and blue states, from small towns to big cities. Americans have had enough. We want our country back.
The people who took part in the protests in the "deeply RED states" deserve extra credit! The courage to organize attend protests in these areas provide example/courage to the silent minority in these areas.
My apologies. First I am in the UK reading about your protests & I do get what your aims are but am baffled by the fact that non- Republicans/non- tariff backers are worried about being heard. It reminds me of Europe in the 1930's & the way Hitler crushed Germany.
Now understand what you are trying to say. There is tremendous social pressure in US predominantly republican states (FairPlay, predominantly democratic states) to conform to the norms of the area. Sad fact people speaking their minds are targeted for their beliefs-courage is required of them. Good?
You certainly have a lot of people in Europe behind you. Trump isn't exactly flavour of the..... millennium. I don't think King Charles is exactly "chipper" having to suffer the guy either on a state visit, but I wouldn't be surprised that is postponed. Good luck with your protests. Will follow you.
Living with paraplegia means daily challenges. I'm raising funds for an enclosed mobility scooter to boost my independence and improve my quality of life. Every donation truly matters. Your support means the world to me. More details on my GoFundMe. Donating or sharing is great. https://gofund.me/0af928df
Yes they did. It’s important to also note that these protests of millions across the country were peaceful, were not (as Elon Musk is lying about) paid protesters, and happened in cities, suburbs, and small towns across the country as well as deep red districts in the middle of Maga communities.
I just checked their site , at the top of the page there’s Trumpy stuff and an article about the history of Betty Boop. Scrolling down further a tiny headline about yesterday’s protests. Pathetic.
Dictators probably think that if democratic election could result in them getting elected that democracy might as well be dismantled. America, last chance to act!
That's good. I'm in Richmond VA and saw some pictures. But I missed it all. I spent this week in Miami on a job. The construction trailers still had trucks and SUVs parked out front with Trump/Vance flags still attached. It'll take a lot of pain for Trump to lose support from those who elected him.
The press has been a bit late to the party. None of my local LA broadcast channels carried the protests live and none of the cable channels like MSNBC or CNN did either. There was more coverage abroad than in US. Thanks to all on Blue Sky who share their photos/videos!🙏🏻
New Research Reveals That Three Out of Four Scientists in the United States Are Thinking of Emigting.Canada and UE he Are Leading the Attiation of These Talents with Multi Millionaire Initiatives.The United States, who have been global leaders in science,are facing the lain brain escape in decades.
They finally put a story about the protests on the mobile site about a quarter of the way down the page. And King Charles got bumped closer to the bottom. Progress!
Come on CNN you’re not WaPo, you’re better than this.
That’s a pretty fucking important story too. Tell you what - why don’t you get a top level job at CNN and that way you can choose which story is the most important. Cool?
This keeps coming up. You understand they shuffle these throughout the day. If it’s a headline now, that was the point of my post. To get them to pull their head from their ass a report the news.
Over 3 million people protested around the United States, putting in full view their shared sentiments against the administration & their destructive actions impacting the lives & livelihoods of people around the world. How do we put democracy to work to have policies reflect the will of the people?
Just a reminder the HELL-A FRAUDGERS are the "biggest CHEATERS in the whole fuckin' industry;" racist organization; buying titles; protected by manFRAUD, MiLB, and L.A.mestream media; with most violent, insecure, and racist fanbase. #50501
I was following the media all day yesterday: Washington Post, New York Times, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, AP, Reuters, PBS, NPR, The Guardian, USA Today, Newsweek, Time, & even Fox News were all covering the protests.
Might I suggest interviewing a panel of normal, pro-democracy Americans for airing during a related segment during prime time as a follow-up? Not operatives. Just people like us who took to streets, plazas, and Capitol steps to tell this administration where they can stuff their "mandate"?
Radical, stupid fascists like the current Orange can't be overthrown by protests. Let alone the way they collude with state-plundering multi-billionaires.
At best, through voter turnout, or at worst, through a bloody revolution!!
Check out the sources. They are in the pic. It's been known for years anyway on a worldwide scale. To corroborate this ask yourself why Trump has been so pro- Russian regarding Ukraine & recent sanctions, including Belarus/ N Korea.
That would be funny. You get a referral from the teacher. Little Timmy is getting curb stomped by his mom every morning. He's all bloody and dressed in rags. and the bitch social worker is like "so, I see you have to ic masculinity and mommy issues. Let's cut your dick off and turn you into a girl."
It seems like most of the mainstream media is trying hard to downplay the massive protests today. The NBC Nightly News gave it about 30 seconds of bland coverage. Good luck to all of them on trying to hide millions of people marching down the streets.
Hundreds showed up today for the San Clemente protest and there was a continuous flow of supportive drivers honking their horns. Some great signs and costumes, too. We opted to bring American flags to show the world that Trump, Musk and their supporters don’t own our flag! #handsoff
Apparently the scale of these protests and the coverage by foreign and independent media made it impossible for American mainstream media to keep ignoring it and posting empty fluff pieces.
There were at least 2,000 people at the small local protest yesterday that I went to. It stayed completely peaceful, and there weren't any counter protestors. Only a handful of cars driving by didn't support us.
We are close to a police state. Our faces are in hundreds of photos and videos. Many events were at government facilities networks of cameras. All crowd pictures will be scrutinized by the far right. Nearly all the ‘ethnic’ (hispanic, middle eastern, asian) we saw had their faces covered.
You way underreported this @cnn. Why? Nice mention of London & Paris but what about some love for Raleigh, or Boise, or St.Paul, or Huntsville, or any of the 1400 cities & towns across our country where We the People are?
@altnps.bsky.social
Watching this idiot congressman Gimenez on your channel. He’s a dedicated Trumper, clueless about the economy & the neg effects of these tariffs. He should be voted out. Floridians, get your heads out of your asses and understand that Trump hates Hispanics & the elderly. He’s anti-American worker.

Shame on you cowards
Great.
now what ?
Because protests alone won't stop Trump.
Whats the strategy ?
Tactics ?
Because if the idea is to protest for.4 years until next elections then America is finished.
So what's the plan ?
But think and act bigger
Here’s how

I saw you spam that one Substack article in that thread, and I thought I'd let you know which way the wind is blowing
and
end Trump's second term early.
People need to march up to News Corp building and bring them down first.
At every turn Trump and his enablers use Fox News to justify and amplify their crimes. Elon’s there to spread his lies. End the propaganda machine.
Occupy Fox News.
Over a thousand protests everywhere,
But read the press you’d be unaware.
There’s few stories in your news dump.
Corporate Media is afraid of Trump.
a tremendous #depression
the biggest you've ever seen believe me

@meidastouch.com did an incredible covering the protests every step of the way, doing your job better than you.
Do you want to become obsolete?

So yes, they were hoping for more of a spectacle.
we vote in America
dems are now the party of violence and destruction
America is watching
no leaders or message; just outrage and screaming
did it affect the election?
but all the current violence from libs will be remembered
by voters
(In case you didn't notice, it's irony and i'm canadian so it's not really my fight)
Surround the the White House
All peacefully
Let him look in every direction and not escape the faces of the people he’s hurting
Hope you guys are not there yet...
@altnps.bsky.social
In Indiana:
Take your country back from broligarchs!
The scale suggests deep discontent, not just with policies,
but with their broader cultural and economic impact.
A defining moment in public pushback
