I better see MASSIVE coverage on your outlet regarding the NO KINGS 2 protests.
MASSIVE.
Or you will become my next target for being biased.

Rescue Our Democracy (ROD) - Indivisible @rescueourdemocracy.bsky.social · 3d

The AP’s headline choices appear to privilege ideological signaling over actual public engagement. If you must cover protests, cover the ones that actually move people — not niche spectacles dressed up as major events.

You disappoint me, AP.

Covering a rally representing only 0.08 % of the metro population as a top‐line news piece is a staggering misallocation of journalistic resources. Meanwhile, far larger protests — especially by those outside the MAGA/Christian nationalist sphere — get buried, ignored, or relegated to footnotes.

Telling people to "put aside old feuds" when you are pursuing illegal actions against people who have done their jobs, it wasn't their fault you did something and was getting caught and they were assigned to investigate.

You only care about inciting national feuds, if we are being honest.

Couldn't help myself...
This is was not funny, I get that.
I just want a hot iron to poke him with over this stupid debacle and show of total authoriatanism.
My patience is running thinner, day by day. I know yours is too.
Drumpf, seriously?
You are such a sad, sad human.

Just a friendly reminder to all who have taken to the streets to rescue our democracy (thank you):
Stay on the sidewalks when protesting.
Do not block traffic.
Do not give them a reason to do this.
This will only escalate matters.
Exert your right to protest in the protected locations to do so.

There seriously is too much to try to cover, especially with my eye issues...but I'm trying...

Goodnight, Sweetheart
Well, it’s time to close
Goodnight, Sweetheart
Lock the doors, I suppose
We hate to leave you, but we just won’t pay
Oh, goodnight, Sweetheart, goodnight

Hello, thank you for the packs. Will follow this group I see currently.

I feel awkward asking for plugs...but I guess I need to fight harder against my introvert nature.

We'd love the consideration for a boost.

Thank you.
