Donald Trump is lashing out at protestors, even larger protests are planned for this week, Paramount has caved to Donald Trump and lost all journalistic independence, a blackout hits Spain, and more
The concern on your face is more worrisome than the words you’re saying 😔 I am so sorry. I have a pit in my stomach so I can’t even imagine what you’re feeling Aaron. Thank you for everything you do to keep us informed
You express my thoughts as well. Aaron is the future of journalism in this country. He's stepping to the plate for all of us and we have to find a way to have his back beyond being a paid subscriber. How can we do that efficiently? We need to have a plan and we need it soon.
I agree I was talking to my friends this morning and we were saying how dictators in the past were able to control the media a lot easier than they can these days. We have so much more technology now and they can’t silence the independent media as easily. I’m not sure what we can do more than being a paid subscriber but maybe Aaron can let us know!
It almost feels like we need a plan to take them all down up there…a plan to relocate to another country, they are all insane!!! No one is running anything.
Bingo!! You’re so right, Donna!! Classic gaslighting and manipulation, it’s sadly most of my family too. Crazy country!! We have to stop them!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Glad this Canadian election is almost over & hope that Mark Carney gets a majority govt so he can get things done without requiring the help of other parties. My anxiety is thru the roof!
I think I would have voted Green (my riding has strong green turnout, and our MPP is green), but yeah I went Liberal to not split the vote. Our Liberal candidate is solid though, so I'm happy with it.
Smart! Harris lost here due to some people not voting as a protest! Ugh! Look what we got! I understand the Gaza protest, but I kept telling them that Trump would be even worse for Gaza … and here we are!
The liberal candidate won my riding! It's super late, but i can't stop watching - the Conservative leader might lose his seat. He's held it since 2004. It would just be so funny
No more Paramount+ (which is a streaming service that offers content from CBS). No more of any other affiliated networks such as Nickelodeon, MTV, and Showtime! No problem! Goodbye to all of them!
Exactly. Visibility helps, but it’s also the strength of the community that really matters. Us. You, me. Being a network they can’t easily break. We’ve got people from every background here (writers, lawyers, lawmakers, teachers, organizers) all educated with their heads on straight. And we’re paying attention. Aaron posts often enough that if something was wrong, we’d catch it fast, not days or weeks later. Plus, if they come for one of us, it means all of us — a mutual defense pact… (might be a good idea formalize that with a few big independent journalists actually). They’d have a real problem if they tried anything.
Websites. Or just Google “Protest near [location] on May 1st 2025”. If no luck, try searching activist groups near you (AI can be really helpful in finding the types of groups you want) and then look them up on Google or Facebook
Thank you for this information! I had no idea these websites existed. I dont have major social media apps so it's extremely difficult to stay in the loop about these events.
Trump started this b*******. Remember, he started the name calling. Remember Pocahontas, I am Native American. I don't appreciate him at all. Did not vote him in he started this fight with the American people. We can finish him. He can't handle the protests. He can't handle being cold names. He is the one who started it. We will finish it. We don't have a problem finishing it. All he wants to do is be a bully and run to the courts. And the courts keep shutting his d****** down.Now he can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen b****
🇨🇦 I am on pens and needles about the Canadian election. Mark.Carney is the best choice to save Canada. The conservative running in this election is a clone of Trump. Ideas and messages are the same as what Trump is viewing out. I am terrified today to see who will win. I pray to God is Mark Canada is not broken. Canada is strong. We are amazing country.

Yes to both of these
💯
My sentiments exactly. I was wondering when this poor guy sleeps. He seems to be out there 24/7.
Day 98. Thank you for absolutely everything you do to continue to report with integrity
Please say the date and time of your posts. I get confused on late breaking news. Thanks
Catherine
He is so afraid. He is saying that these people are paid because this is what he would do.
EVERY accusation is an admission!
Bingo!! You’re so right, Donna!! Classic gaslighting and manipulation, it’s sadly most of my family too. Crazy country!! We have to stop them!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’m hoping everyone is still planning on continuing to protest! I know I am. 🇺🇸🏳️🌈🇺🇦
Canadian here! We had early voting over the Easter long weekend, I voted then - and so did many people i know. Record early voting this time around.
A friend of mine has just gone to vote, 15 mins early, and there's a line at her polling station.
We are all Anxious but hopeful. I voted Liberal - i usually vote for a more left leaning party, but the strategic vote is key this time.
Glad this Canadian election is almost over & hope that Mark Carney gets a majority govt so he can get things done without requiring the help of other parties. My anxiety is thru the roof!
I am so anxious I have been shaking already.
If the shit show happening here. isn’t a warning to all Canadians, it would be a very sad. I will send good energy to you all! 👍🏻🙌🏻🤞🏻
I voted last weekend as well and typically would vote NDP, but voted Liberal so as to not split the vote and help give PP a path in.
I think I would have voted Green (my riding has strong green turnout, and our MPP is green), but yeah I went Liberal to not split the vote. Our Liberal candidate is solid though, so I'm happy with it.

We are with you!! Our Canadian friends--GO!!!
We voted early too! Fingers crossed 🤞
Devastated that Paramount has chose this path - goodbye CBS
No more Paramount+ (which is a streaming service that offers content from CBS). No more of any other affiliated networks such as Nickelodeon, MTV, and Showtime! No problem! Goodbye to all of them!
If anything happened, Aaron we’d be up in arms for you!!!
How do we do the "up in arms" action? I hope because he's getting so visible and has such a following it would be harder for them to disappear him.

Thank you for all you do
I will be attending a protest in Topeka, Kansas.
SOMEWHERE NEAR YOU HAS A PROTEST ON THURSDAY. SEARCH MAYDAY 2025, 50501, or SEARCH NEAR YOU ON MOBILIZE, INDIVISIBLE, FACEBOOK
Protesting in Bangor,Maine!
Your state or even your city probably has a 50501 Facebook Group
Not on FB. Dropped all that META, AMAZON, TIKTOK, GOOGLE. Working on Microsoft next!
50501 also has a Substack you can find some information there
what is "mobilize indivisible" are these apps? facebook pages? or are you saying search these key words?
Actually, here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1IoTqF5w562GgeTp3n4vAEhcuPAQ80dn9bC7QxewKPtg/htmlview#gid=0

the US also bombed a migrant detention center in Yemen, killing 68 people last night.
Appalling
Why do they care if the protesters are paid?? They pay for votes 🤷
I’ll be at our May Day Distress Protest in Durham, NC! ✊🏻
Thanks Aaron for your amazing work!
I’m from Canada and I’m voting.
My husband and I will be at the MayDay Action day protest.

WHAT DO WE CALL IT #FAFO
Right now I'm in a “I EXIST TO RESIST” kind of mode.
