Amen.

I don't see why I should bother to read something nobody bothered to write.

Agreed. This is some bullshit. If it weren't the home-town paper I'd get rid of my subscription.

The huge No Kings protests, an estimated 7 million people addressing America's worst crisis since the Civil War, get a tiny headline on the New York Times homepage, with no photo.
Why does NYT think change happens only when politicians hold news conferences and not when everyday people take action?

Given the Trumpist assault on the patriotism of all who plan to attend No Kings rallies, I urge every Democratic elected official to attend one. They shouldn’t speak—if there are speakers, better to br less partisan civic leaders and citizens—but they should stand in solidarity with the rest of us.

The last-minute gathering featured hundreds of senior military officials, who swear an oath to the Constitution, attending something more akin to a campaign rally.

The solicitousness of the cops at the British police station was pretty breathtaking.

Called it! When we read that Elizabeth Gilbert's lover was dying, we SAID she would exploit it for a book, and darned if she didn't prove us right. PATHETIC.
