As Parker Molloy notes, massive demonstrations against the Trump regime took place Saturday. But if you picked up a major print newspaper the next day, you'd barely know they happened.

New York Times: Turn to page 18.

The violence continues, supplies are scarce, Israel continues its war crimes in Gaza. So the work by The Sameer Project is still very much needed. Here's a conversation from last September with one of the founders, Hala Sabbah.

Margaret Sullivan says she asked friends and relatives in various locations what kind of reporing their local media did about the massive worldwide protests Saturday against Trump:

"Quick answer: Not close to what it deserved."

Then she did her own research, and found:

"In the Wall Street Journal, the story’s placement was the 20th most important."

Another trial that was scheduled to start that month was postponed last minute. “Police are using quite severe offence charges to justify brutal violence against protestors,” the activist facing trial said. “In the past few months, dozens of people have been beaten to a state of unconsciousness during police crackdowns and had to be hospitalised with severe injuries; some have had their homes raided just for saying ‘From the river to the sea.’”

"A massive decentralized movement like this -- everywhere all at once, with everybody pitching in -- is extremely difficult for any regime, even the most autocratic, to derail. There are too many leaders, coordinating in too many different ways, for a movement like this to be easily neutralized."

"I scanned dozens of newspapers from around the U.S. & world. On average, international newspapers cover the widespread protests against Trump/Musk and for democracy much more prominently on their covers than those in the U.S.

This isn’t due to deadlines, protests were daytime in the U.S."

"If one of us stands up, they can pick that person off. If ten or a hundred or a thousand, they can pick those people off. And they're picking off people--immigrants, dissidents--to make an example of them. But if ten million people stand up, they cannot stop us all. And today we are millions."

Meditations in an Emergency · Millions Stood Up: April 5 Hands Off Day of ActionI was the closing speaker at the ebullient San Francisco Hands Off rally, and when I got home later I scoured the news for  reports on the more than one thousand other rallies.

"Think about what this means. If you’re Donald Trump (along with Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller), and you’re considering defying the courts, 'disappearing' political opponents, or even invoking the Insurrection Act and declaring martial law, you now know that there is an active, fired-up, massive resistance ready to meet your actions."

"No mention of the protests on the cover of the NY Times (NO MENTION!), below the fold on WaPo, nothing on MSNBC.com. CNN shows protesting Houthis but not protesting Americans. So, those of us with platforms and those of us with friends or family need to be spreading the word."

~ Stephanie G. Wilson

To say I expected corporate media to behave this way would be an understatement.
