    On Feb. 15, 2003, millions of people marched in over 600 cities against the plans of U.S. President George W. Bush to invade Iraq.

    First time?

      Many of those protests were shut down too. I was up in MA for the Blood for Oil/WMD protest. We were shut down due to a ‘bad actor’ that not one of us witnessed. Neither the bad actor nor the protest made the papers.

      Props to the AP, Newsweek, and USA Today for covering 50501 while the rest show where their loyalty lies.

            thx, didn’t realize this happened 4 days ago already. I dismissed it because of that

      But there was a massive amount of coverage on how disliked Bush was (man, in fucking comparison…) whereas op’s post is about how major the protest is vs. how little coverage there is of it.

        The text in the image says it’s the first time, though. Don’t support misinformation just because it makes us look good
