It's pretty obvious there is a media blackout of social and political unrest in the US right now.
if I wasn't deliberately spending time on left wing sites I wouldn't know there were protests tbh
they'll cover it breathlessly once they can paint it as rioting and looting. until then, it just doesn't make the cut.

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.
