I haven’t seen a single picture or video of any of this. I’ve looked for it too. I saw a single coordinated protest of a 100 or so people called 50501 or something. That’s it.
Must not be looking very hard because they've been all over my general lemmy feed every few days and span multiple states, cities, and even countries.
I guess it must not have been very newsworthy then and not many people brought cameras. I’ll surely take your word for it though!
Yes I’m well aware of every country except for the us.
Editing to add the 50501 bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/50501movement.bsky.social
50501 was the first time there have been simultaneous protests in every state capital in the US, ever. There were more than 100 people on the capital steps in my backwater state of Missouri.
Could we do better? Hell yes, but to say we're not doing anything is disingenuous when major media outlets are owned by opponents of the protests and therefore under-reporting, obfuscating, omitting or lying about protests happening.
It's being blocked from the main pages of every mainstream American media source, including social media and mainstream "alternative media", usually relegated to the second or third page, but you can usually see it on !politics@lemmy.world, !news@lemmy.world, and !50501@piefed.social as well as on Mastodon. There's millions of people protesting, tens of thousands at some places.

I was just at a Tesla protest in my local town last weekend. There are literally zero articles about it. We don’t have freedom of the press here anymore.
