protests
One of the things I really missed about Twitter after leaving there a few years ago were the independent, on-the-ground, local #journalists covering #protests, local weather #disasters, etc. It was a *great* way to get accurate, timely info.
>>> I'd love to be able to get a list of local people doing this kind of work if you know of anyone on Mastodon. For now, I've come across this guy on bluesky who's got good coverage of #LA #ICE action: @ acatwithnews.bsky.social

I'd forgotten that, back in 2019, I adapted the shot of 'tank man' in Tiananmen Square. It feels even more relevant now.

“The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles Sheriff’s department.”

#nokings #LosAngeles #Protests
If you go through my feed I've been posting videos and pictures and local news articles about the protests that are going on every day all over the United States.
At any other time in my lifetime, this would have been swamping the landing pages on every #media outlet. I just checked CNN, CBS, and ABC and NOT ONE SINGLE WORD. They're all like Baghdad Bob: "There are no Americans protesting!"
If that makes you as angry as it makes me, let the networks know!

"Among the protesters Saturday was Louis Bergelson, sporting a Gritty costume. Bergelson said that he had never been an activist but that Trump’s plan to dissolve the Department of Education and his handling of immigration had motivated him.
“'I chose Gritty because he is the spirit of #Philadelphia, and Philadelphia is gonna kick #Trump out,' Bergelson said, promising a 'battle of the two orange monsters.'”
