  Can you provide 3 links to different protests?

  Not being snarky. Just haven’t seen any reporting on it.

    Ahh… THAT is the difference.

    In the US, most of the media is complicit in what’s being protested. And online social media coverage is being contained to small bubbles.

    Check out @usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml posts. They are posting pictures of grassroots protests across the country every day. Like has been said, there hasn’t been THE big mass protest, but there is constant local activism and protest, just mostly ignored by media.

      They are being suppressed in media coverage, but there are people protesting. Media coverage paints a false picture that no one in the US is fighting back

      Here’s one from today [meaning five days ago] with 1000 people in Boise, Idaho
