It's awesome to see people stepping up like this! Our current situation is NOT normal.

Holy shit this is crazy.

And major news outlets aren't covering this due to the billionaire class owning mass media.

Next step in the playbook is to outlaw all the minor news outlets that do cover this stuff. Is trump already working on that?

Thanks to the internet you can't easily stop that. BBC will keep covering it.
