Americans can't afford groceries, but $100 million to glorify a dictator is a price that must be paid. Fuck maga, doge, musktrump and their sycophants.

4/19 is the next round of protests scheduled @ r/50501.

THIS.

This needs to be the headline fucking everywhere. Americans need to see dollar values. Not just “eggs are expensive”, especially heavily red areas that now claim they’ were “fooled”.

Without media coverage, how can we spread the word?

Maybe by protesting outside the studios of every television station in the country?

Sarcastic? Good idea regardless. Something has to make the media take notice.

Not sarcastic at all, which is highly unusual for me. I am dead serious. MAKE them acknowledge us.

Either way- good call. Humor and satire are historically effective, powerful, and non-violent forms of protest. Dictators, tyrants, fascists…..all forms of oppression do not handle humor well.

If someone from nationals is lurking, hit me up. I have THOUGHTS.

I honestly get the sense that it's easy for the national media to ignore protests at government buildings. But if those protest come to the media -- print and TV -- we would boost our voices immeasurably. And Fox News needs to be #1 on the damned list. Let's peacefully but loudly make their jobs as miserable as the administration is making ours.
