One critical thing to think about is how the No Kings protests and related sustained local actions over the past months have created a foundation and infrastructure for mobilization- getting people engaged and keeping them energized. This is crucial to the turnout successes.

Front page of NYT on September 22, 2025, with large top-of-page photo of a Charlie Kirk memorial service, and the lead page-one story on the same topic.

Front page of today's NYT, Oct 19, with no story about the nationwide protests, and a "below the fold" montage of two photos, and a link to a story on page 23.

Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states.

See if you can spot it! /s

Then you can find today's story on p A23

@nytimes.com is hopeless! Puts it story on the No Kings protest on p. 23 of print edition. Online it gives it same weight as a story on Vance speaking at a military base in CA. 7 million protesters with the same weight as a couch f—er!

An open letter to the American public on respiratory virus vaccines Read an open letter to the general public from the AMA and medical societies reaffirming support for vaccination to protect against flu, COVID-19, and RSV.

This is unprecedented. The AMA and other medical professional societies speak as one on respiratory virus vaccines and in their own way, say the Trump Administration cannot be trusted with your health. www.ama-assn.org/delivering-c...
