If you watch the news in Canada, you might think nothing significant happened in the U.S. on President’s Day. But the truth is, massive protests erupted all over the country—and they’re being suppressed.
This isn’t new. Controlling the narrative is a powerful tool. If protests aren’t covered by mainstream media, people assume they don’t exist. That’s how governments and corporations manufacture silence.
But people ARE resisting. They’re in the streets, they’re organizing, they’re making noise. The question is—why aren’t we seeing it?
How Censorship Works
Media blackouts and algorithm suppression mean that unless you actively search for protest coverage, you won’t find it. Social platforms shadow-ban certain hashtags. News outlets downplay events or focus on distractions. The goal? Make people feel alone. Make resistance look small. Make injustice seem inevitable.
What We Can Do
Censorship only works if we let it. Here’s how we fight back:
✅ Look beyond mainstream media – Follow independent journalists, activists, and citizen reporters. Use social media strategically: search protest hashtags, look for firsthand footage, and verify sources.
✅ Amplify what’s being erased – Share videos, articles, and eyewitness accounts. Talk about it. Make sure people know what’s really happening.
✅ Support direct action – If you’re in Canada, find local solidarity events. If you’re in the U.S., show up where you can. And everywhere—pressure officials, sign petitions, and demand accountability.
This Affects Us All
What’s happening in the U.S. isn’t just an American issue. Censorship, surveillance, and media manipulation are global threats. If we don’t push back now, we risk a world where truth is dictated, and resistance is erased before it begins.
So stay informed. Stay loud. And don’t let them pretend this isn’t happening.
