one category of show prep material for TRMS staff is something we've always called "subway reading".

it's something that's not exactly current events or new reporting... but nevertheless relevant food for thought given the news we're in.

today's subway reading:

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world

Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”

The cuts:

📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)

📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)

📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)

📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

When do you think Trump and Republicans will realize they drove up No Kings protest attendance by calling it a “hate America rally”?

She nails it🔥

“I am a patriot and I will not… let anyone tell me that I am not here because I love my country.”

This can’t be said often enough: Trump is selling out his most loyal voting block while bailing out somebody else’s.

📍Keep an eye on this: Trump’s intentionally sabotaging U.S. farmers. His billionaire buddies will benefit by acquiring their land on the cheap.

Also, SCOTUS is probably going to gut the rest of the Voting Rights Act - more gerrymandering, handing over a majority of House reps to the GOPcheaters#

We came out and represented Bettles, Alaska even if it was just me and the pups. We’ll have fun by ourselves either way. 💪🏽 Once again, hoping there were further north protests in Alaska!! 👀
