Why are the media ignoring growing resistance to Trump? (www.theguardian.com)
 

Protest actions like ‘Hands Off’ and ‘No Kings’ are sweeping across the US. But the media are barely paying attention

When hundreds of thousands of Americans gathered across the US on 5 April for the “Hands Off” events protesting Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s governmental wrecking ball, much of the news media seemed to yawn.

The next day, the New York Times put a photograph, but no story, on its print front page. The Wall Street Journal’s digital homepage had it as only the 20th-most-prominent story when I checked. Fox News was dismissive; I stopped counting after I scanned 40 articles on its homepage, though there was a video with this dismissive headline: “Liberals rally against President Trump.”

Not being sarcastic at all.

But You know, I never really thought about it that way.

Like, we can cross out panels in comic books. We own the book. We can choose our own narrative, make it whatever we want. Uncle Ben lives. Batman carries a gun. The A on Captain America is Ass.

I can't believe I had this thought without any drugs.

You really empowered my creativity. Thank you good sir.

I mean Mad Max has a reason for that, because of the harsh setting and difficult lifestyle where everything is trying to kill you. You know... Australia.

The writing is just incredible. How can a game have more than a dozen banger lines?

And if you get a bunch of people in a room, you'll have an argument about what they are because there's so many.

To this day, I don't understand how wired telephones worked.

I mean, I kinda do, since I watched a bunch of YouTube videos explaining it. But then I kinda don't.

Walmart Faces MAGA Boycott After Heiress Funds 'No Kings' Ad (www.newsweek.com)
 

Walmart heiress Christy Walton is facing backlash, and Walmart is facing some calls for a boycott from Trump supporters after placing a full-page ad in The New York Times urging Americans to attend town halls and engage in civic discourse.

While the "No Kings Day" ad did not mention President Donald Trump by name, its emphasis on values like honoring commitments to allies, defending against dictators, and respecting trading partners was widely interpreted as a critique of Trump's foreign policy and "America First" agenda.
