Folks who are rightfully frustrated at the indefensible NYT coverage, please do note: in terms of actually reaching people, this is way more important

I scrolled through the @1stforall.bsky.social's gallery of print front pages for local coverage of "No Kings" protests. Here are some of the standout papers, starting with the Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction, Colorado:

This isn’t data, it’s a warning. Serious 30 month and 9 month rainfall deficiency in the Mt Lofties, SE SA and the Otways…levels which in the past have led to catastrophic bushfires. Prepare people…clean up, repair, save cash and insure. And join community agencies now. #auspol

Thousands across the North Bay joined Saturday's "No Kings" rallies, part of a nationwide movement opposing President Donald Trump and what participants called a growing threat to democracy.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Democracy dies in silence.

…when people are too afraid or don’t care enough to speak up.

Not today.

MILLIONS of Americans and allies of freedom and democracy, here and around the world, are taking to the streets.

Showing their love of country and defiance of tyranny.

It’s a beautiful sight.

California will start producing and selling its own supply of low-cost insulin in January.

The suggested price for consumers will be no more than $55 for a pack of five pens.

Currently even generic insulin typically costs about $260 for a pack of five.

In shot across Big Pharma's bow, California will sell its own insulin

Delivery of the state-branded drug makes good on a longstanding promise by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Every time Trump escalates his attacks on our communities, the #NoKings movement grows stronger.

We, the millions of Americans who make up of this peaceful movement, are coming together on Oct. 18th to say: NO KINGS! app.sosha.ai/s/3uTqzaT3
