You may have noticed a lot of us feeling disappointed in major news organizations for failing to report on the mass protests on April 5th. Or, there are limp articles using words like "Protests in several cities", "Hundreds of people", etc.
On top of that, a lot of us are still feeling negative, saying things like: "Well unfortunately it really changes nothing"; "We did good, but they're just ignoring us"; "They don't care"
However I think we've received a huge gift from them by their actions. Their response is great for us. Here's why:
If April 5th was actually something they didn't care about, and something useless and weak to them, then they would have had no problem reporting on the truth.
When we see the flaccid, weak articles (or lack thereof), and hear the silence, they've accidentally revealed hidden information to us: they are desperately trying to control the narrative, which means they are absolutely panicking right now.
We have power. Incredible power. They want us to believe nothing will change, because if we believe it then it's true.
Let's keep the pressure. They're scared, and they should be.

If they didn't care you continue until they do. Marathon not a sprint.
