There seems to be a media blackout on those do you have any details ?
-
there is no media blackout, you're trying to be cynically hip, which is very cowardly in this situation.
here are thousands of people in Denver alone during the 50501 protest.
here's a thousand people at Stonewall
there are Nationwide protests happening constantly, and pretending there aren't political events happening that you are choosing not to join because you want to be blissfully ignorant or are afraid of the consequences of fighting for civil and democratic rights is simple cowardice.
own up to your apathy.

Mate it's a bit bloody hard to join from the UK so shove your insults up your arse. I'm not American and I can assure you that this isnt making it on to the major networks (US or international) in any meaningful way. Hence the "media blackout" comment - because that's how it looks.

"Hence the "media blackout" comment - because that's how it looks."
you are either blind and deaf or have never used the internet before.
If you are actually British, and the BBC is not covering these protests, that does not mean there is a "media blackout", it means that Britain specifically isn't covering the protests in the US.
The protests are all over the telly in the states and other countries.
but I guess you guys do have that police state thing going on right now, so I can see why the BBC wouldn't want to report on civil rights movements.
websites and news organizations are reporting on the 50501 movement hourly.
I don't know how you're managing to miss all of the information being disseminated about these protests, but if you type in those numbers, you're going to find all the information you could ever want about the 50501 protests, there's nothing remotely like a "media blackout" happening.

Won't speak to all your statements around the protests, but as a Canadian I haven't heard anything from our news about your protests. The only time I've heard of protests are from Lemmy and Reddit comments, not even posts. Donalds and Elons shenanigans are plastered over all our news sites and social media platforms.
It's good to hear protests are happening though. Good luck and best wishes on all your protests!

Nice of you to say, I'm rooting them on as well.
I feel like between the dozens of judges stepping up, and all of the civil and municipal lawsuits, plus constant nationwide protests against all manner of executive order abolishing civil rights, there's still a way to go before the citizens are down for the count.

I googled 50501 from the info on here. Not a single entry from major US media, every single one is a regional paper - with one exception - there was an AP article 2 weeks ago.
I'm afraid I don't usually turn to the Baltimore Sun or the Staunton Register for my US news - first two entries - where the hell even IS Staunton.
No, the BBC isn't covering it (typing 50501 into the search bar got me "Is American cheese really that bad" from 2019 (no I dont understand either)
The last coverage by majors such as CNN and APnews and reuters who ARE who I look to for US news was two weeks ago (16days to be precise) so if there have been many protests since then as you claim then it does indeed look like they are ignoring it
A search on AP news for "protests" sorted by new has me scrolling down about 70-80 items before I find out that 300 people are protesting being sacked from the DHH.
Then another 2 pages to find a rally in california a couple days ago.
None of these were on the AP home page headlines, none of these come up in the RSS ticker feed. If it's not a media blackout they sure don't think these protests matter

"I googled 50501 from the info on here. Not a single entry from major US media,",
not sure how to help you if you find the concept of regional media included in media as mindblowing.
American cheese really is that bad, so at least you found a relevant result for yourself!
