People Are More Disconnected From Reality Than Ever. Please share this.

I recently commented about how the LA protests aren’t an isolated event, just that same weekend, there were demonstrations in NYC, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, and beyond. Protests have been happening every single weekend across the US, growing in both numbers and intensity.

And what happened? I was called a liar. Over and over.

One guy’s brilliant counter-argument? “77 million people voted for Trump.” As if that somehow means the entire country agrees with him? As if millions of people aren’t in the streets right now demanding change? The second I brought up this week’s “No Kings” actions, though? Silence or laughs

Here’s the truth: The news isn’t covering this unless there’s a Tesla burning or a car caught on fire. They either don’t care, or they’ve been pressured into silence. Or like the video I attached shows, it might be orchestrated. If you’re waiting for CNN or Fox to tell you what’s really happening, you’ll be waiting forever.

When mainstream news gets buried under lawsuits and threats, they stop being reliable. There is a massive movement building right now, and most people have no idea, because the system doesn’t want them to know.

Here’s a list of independent and alternative media sources in the U.S. that provide reporting often overlooked or undercovered by mainstream outlets:
