I am very disappointed in the coverage I saw in the Recorder of the Hands Off! demonstrations on April 5.  Not only did it not get the lead, it was hidden further back in section B and it only covered local events.  There were over five million people demonstrating across the country and millions more around the world.  There were three buses that went to Boston and 11 more from western Massachusetts.  Isn’t any of this newsworthy?  What Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the other billionaires are doing to this country is treason and not having the free press documenting this and our efforts to stop it only distorts the truth.  Please do better on future demonstrations which will be many.
