NOW: Over one hundred people are gathered at Main Street Garden Park in downtown Dallas for a July 4 pro-choice protest. Another protest is slated for later this evening.

It's pretty obvious there is a media blackout of social and political unrest in the US right now.

    they'll cover it breathlessly once they can paint it as rioting and looting. until then, it just doesn't make the cut.

        "What is your one demand? What is your one demand? What is your one demand? What is your one demand?"

        It was so fucking obnoxious, so infuriating, and in retrospect so obviously in bad faith. I have so much anger over how they treated us. Some good things came out of it. The rolling jubilee projects helped some people. but mostly it just got crushed by the media as much as by the state.

    We had a couple hundred people march up the main road in town where I'm at. Only one local news crew showed and the others only came out when we outnumbered the people trying to watch the fireworks.
