It is inspiring. I called the office of my rep. DAN CRENSHAW and was told he will hold an online event. I’ll be calling back to insist on a live forum.
W NC Rep doesn't even have a FB page, usually the least they can possibly do. Apparently following in the footsteps of last loser repug. What you get with egregious gerrymandering. Literally 0 effort.
Any social media, Facebook, Meta, Instagram, Twitter, X and any other platforms. I dumped years ago. I didn’t like where it was going. See how quickly the table turns when we walk away. Go back to sending emails writing letters texting and calling loved ones again it’s so much better.
I basically quit Facebook more than a decade ago. They came out with a policy that any pictures you post on Facebook, the photos become the property of Facebook. What the H#ll? No, I am not giving you my personal photos for you, Facebook, to own. Family members post a little bit on Facebook but not like they used to.
Where did you get that info? The photos remain yours, but FB does reserve the right to re-use them. I've never had them use one of the thousands of photos I've posted there, so this doesn't bother me much.
Well unfortunately I have some older FB friends from other countries and states that I would completely lose touch with; else I would have dumped them long ago. Friendships matter. I just don't spend much time there. Luckily I never adopted any other site until BSky. One invasive app was already one too many. I didn't have time to waste on the others.
"Literally zero effort" ........ and that's would he deserves to get from ALL of his constituents when their pen hovers over his name on the next ballot - before it moves on to a MUCH better qualified candidate..... but better yet, I'm sure y'all will show him what REAL effort is in displaying your collective rage in the coming days. Hang in there!
they don't have to do they? Maybe with enough pushback the voters will make a different decision in 2026 allowing for actual freedom instead of the pseudo freedom they have now.
I have left voicemails for Tillis (I reminded him we are aware that he is up for reelection in '26), Budd, and Edwards. I have not been successful at actually speaking to a live person except Edwards' assistant, but I have left voicemails and plan to continue doing so. Let's jam the switchboards with our calls! And I have loved the clips of the Town Halls!
Very very true, and that’s why we have to plant more and nourish them every day. All seeds grow in darkness, but they eventually come into sunlight or they die. We have to cultivate this new democracy together. So grateful for this community of gardeners!
You can host a town hall without him! Put an empty chair and a rubber chicken in his place. Invite the local media! Protest! Ask the hard questions to the rubber chicken!
GREAT idea, Yvonne! Also, sometimes citizens will accept the offer from a democrat senator or rep to come instead -- or they'll request it themselves! It HAS been done, to great effect. I LOVE the idea. ("Rubber chicken" -- still chuckling over that one...)
I'd get a sheet & fashion an impromptu ghost in the chair.🤔 After all, it's not fair to compare these feeble pols to chickens (who can be quite fearless & even self-sacrificing in protecting their young🥰... unlike these pathetic, immoral, unethical Republican minions who do nothing to protect us and our democracy from Trummusk, Inc.😡).
To give credit where it’s due… I got the idea from the incredible Indivisible group!! Highly recommend you all follow them and find a group near you!! They also hold weekly zoom calls with practical ways to resist!!
We need to get rid of Musk as well. I’ve learned that he has gone into other countries trying to influence their top leaders like he has done here. I’m not sure what his agenda is, but after learning this I don’t trust him!!!! After all, he has gone into our govt’s computers. I’m sure he’s copied vital information. Not just our personal information!! He should not be able to get away with this!!!!
I agree. And, up here in Canada a formal petition to the Prime Minister to strip Musk of his Canadian citizenship is underway. It just started and so far, over 77,000 have formally signed it.
We need to mobilize Canadian as well as Mexican partners to close in from the north and south. I’m certain, there are many who want to assist us. This is the fight for all our lives. Putin and Musk/Trump are aiming for world dominance.
Canadian citizens have already been boycotting American products (and without any urging from their govt, who also supports us). They are also cancelling all plans to travel to the US, esp in the Carolinas and Florida where they can make up to 40% of their total tourism dollars. (It's been making a huge impact; the affected owners of those US businesses here have been contacting their US senators/reps PLEADING with them to do something. Mexico's president has been standing right up against trump, and "to his face". There is also some evidence that Mexican citizens are also boycotting American products as are some Europeans. WE NEED TO DO THE SAME OURSELVES. On Feb 28 there is a national boycott happening. NO SHOPPING ALL DAY on amazon, apple, meta, tesla, etc., and other big companies capitulating to trump/musk. Only exception, small local businesses. But why wait till the? Money is the only thing driving these thieves. Cancel accounts. Put the squeeze on them. If we all do it it will get their attn. With the help along these lines we're getting from OUTSIDE our borders, it's the least WE can do!
Mrytle Beach is gonna be empty during the “Canadian Summer” which is usually March. Us southerners would marvel at how they hit the beach in swimwear when the winds caused a good sand blasting on you.
I lived in MB for 20 years, and a couple of the places I worked (Shaftsbury Glen golf course and another one off of 544 near Coastal Carolina) depended on the Canadian snow birds for business! So, it will be interesting to see what happens overall down there!
Yes -- Canadian, American, and South African. I'm surprised he didn't try for German citizenship as well. Hopefully, too late for that now, but I'm sure China and Russia would both be happy to grant him citizenship.
Any criminal offense is grounds for revoking naturalized citizenship. He is committing multiple felonies. We must start a petition calling for revoking his U.S. citizenship. musk is DANGEROUS!
He wants our data to feed his AI world take over scheme. He will feed his Neurolink brain implant chips and his robots with our information. He already owns our communications via Starlink. He is dangerous.
I doubt, at the moment, he can be stopped Sheila. He has the King's confidence and he's allowed to capture as much information about citizens as possible, surely this is to be used by his companies in the future. I find it interesting that the King allows Musk to carry on so that when it all goes pear-shaped the King will say it wasn't him but Musk who screwed it all up.
The plan that Elon has had it's naissance in a movement in the 1930's called "Technocracy". His grandfather was a "card carrying" member and quite likely his ideas influenced Elon's father and then Elon. (I would like to thank Hal Sparks for an entire lesson about this last week on his You Tube channel)
"The technocrats emphasized that economists, engineers, and other professionals should control the economic system, rather than leave it to politicians or businesspeople with vested interests in maintaining the status quo.
End of Private Property:
Technocrats argued that private ownership of resources and means of production was obsolete and counterproductive.
They advocated for collective ownership of the nation’s resources, managed by experts on behalf of the public."(Elon thinks he's an expert...my opinion is he's just another grifter)
They (the Technocrats) had a map of how North America would look if they took over
If you can. Some people who live in the middle of nowhere without stores they need probably won't be able to. Some competition though would be nice. We have to start paying more attention to the monopolies that are ruining our lives and the economy.
I knew the election outcome days before, and it had nothing to do with technology. I listened to Trump's base, looked at the Harris campaign, realized that "it's the economy" + immigration this time around, and it seemed obvious to me that Trump was going to win. I still donated hundreds of dollars to Blues in and out of my state and voted straight Blue as my conscience demanded, but I also knew it was a futile effort and money largely wasted. Wish I had been wrong.
Lots of folks were told they weren't on voting lists when they were. One voter in NC had a Passport as ID and was told by voting judge they "had never seen one" and were turned away. Folks many times don't know their rights. Fraud by local officials in cahoots with MAGA. Stuff coming out about it.
I have said that from the beginning! That orange clown did not win fairly and it's like they think we are too dumb to catch on. I am also concerned about Biden because they have a plan for him trust me. He give hints nobody ever pay attention to the hint was" Why didn't Biden pardon himself"
Musk is a drug-addicted meglomaniac! Google it. Elon Musk uses LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, mushrooms: WSJ. and Ketamine. The drugs allow him to stay up all night and tweet. He needs to be indicted, arrested and deported!! He has attacked and demolished some of these agencies as they were all investigatig him. He litterally "out loud ", said "If Kamala wins, I go to prison". He is very sick. May God Bless America!!
"Il Dodgy" might want it for AI, but his Muskrats will use their various copies to sell to China, Russia, etc. after they have to flee prosecution in US. After all, China's attempt to hack Treasury Dept. last December was stopped at the lower level. Muskrats can give them copy of the higher level files!!
Since you mentioned AI I thought you might enjoy this comedy by Josh Johnson. Yes, it is comedy; but, it has a message too that is serious. The part about AI basically starts at 8 minutes or so. The earlier part is very good also. It is about what happens to bullies.
Don’t know if you realize or have been made aware of. Musk, received his money. From USAID. THE VERY INSTITUTION HE AND BIG BALLS ARE IN THEIR DESTROYING. Plus, musk is attacking. We’re in investigation was open against the Tesla vehicle and SpaceX. For violation and it’s health and safety. It was shared here on this platform and I’m so glad it’s here that we can speak here safely.
He's been supporting the German neo-nazi party saying everyone should vote for it and why should Germans be at all concerned about what they got up to in the past (NB that didn't go particularly well, did it!). And attacking the other German parties. Blatant interference in the German elections. UK similar, also spreading lies and hate speech inflaming the riots caused by misinformation last summer. Other countries too. Pay attention to what the new régime is saying and doing to foreign countries, especially in Europe. It will give you a better perspective on the coup happening now in the USA.
Anyone that runs on a California platform and is on the ballot. I always take my time to look up every individual background where they came from with. They’re voting is like what they support politically and socially. Before I put or even consider them to represent me here in California. Whatever I do there that day I vote will affect me for the rest of my life. I’m 72 years old now.
I do the same.. try to educate myself on who’s on the ballot. I’m here in Fl, it’s difficult to navigate thru this red state, especially when you’re not..a red. I am openly willing to attend rallies (peacefully) and spread truths not the disinformation and ridiculous things that come out of Trump/musk’s mouths. They are scaring a lot of folks, me pushing 70. I am not afraid of them!
Already said: watch the German election now! Big fraud coming up, just like here. I’m nearly certain. They succeeded in the US, they can sack Europe as easy.
His agenda is obvious- install nazi regimes in all possible countries so they will enact his will, not the people's. He also wants to get rid of all regulations so no one can stop any of the illegal shit his companies are doing.
I think all of it is feeding his personality disorder!! Both Donald and Elon feed off their triggering and our reactions!! Yes!! I'm seeing borderline traits!
Yep he would if he could I know that! That rigged 100 dollar giveaway! What info did he mine for that data pool! He admitted the million dollar winner was staged!! He was manipulating people! He thinks that's laughable?? He's not above the law! He is violating the law!! Judges need to deputize the right people! Not federal marshalls!!
Macron already investigates the last election, sensing fraud. He promised Musk to freeze his assets if he participated. Musk works closely with Putin and learned how to collect data to manipulate and also to use against us. There are so many people involved. From the Koch brothers to the techbros to Opus Dei. They are a major force we’ll have to defeat.
He's a Nazi, plain and simple. In addition to meddling big time in Germany's next election (today?) in order to help the faaaar right (Nazi) party there, he's doing the same in a good 7-8 other countries. Somebody needs to empty his bank acct., stat.
He is working for Putin. That’s why he’s been campaigning for AfD in Germany (as close to a neo-Nazi party as their laws will allow). He’s a scumbag doing the bidding of dictators. I assume his wish is that when it’s all said and done and Putin controls the entire world, he’ll take a big slice of the pie. That and the jollies he gets from the cruelty.
I live in a red district in southern California. Our useless R congressman got an earful at his town hall yesterday. People were furious and shouting and all he could do was repeat tepid GOP talking points and platitudes. The constituents weren’t buying it. He ended up skedaddling early with his staff and sheriff’s department “protectors.”
🙄 And they know this how? Do people have to show their voter card to attend a town hall? Sheesh. Even a reliably red district like mine is 40% non-Republican. Our R congressman won 60-40% in 2024, so 4 out of every 10 voters in our (very large) southern California district voted for his Dem challenger. But we are still his constituents, so we have every right to attend. Yesterday at our local town hall, our congressman got an earful from 200 very angry people, and I bet there were plenty of Republicans in the room!
Doesn’t matter who is giving them shit at long as they get it. So are the red hats going to attack anyone showing up at these events? Just what we need.
Unfortunately, they will not because for them . Being career politicians, even if they retire now or get kicked out of office most of them will be walking away with a hefty pension at our expense. They don’t care they just want their bread and butter a roof over their heads food on the table. We were all used whether we voted for Trump or not.
That’s maybe the point we need to get across to those freaking representatives. Asking them: do you want your children/grandchildren grow up and live under dangerous conditions as the Trump regime promises.? Your son/ daughter might voice different opinions and if one doesn’t align with an authoritarian out the window they are.
Not necessarily. Her's a response from my MAA senator. Pass it on.
Trump Ukraine policy stupidity is a window of opportunity.
Send your rep a copy of this:
Dear Mr. Solomon,
Thank you for contacting me regarding the war in Ukraine. I appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Russia is a cancerous, evil regime that threatens our national security by attempting to control as much of Europe and Eurasia as it can. It also supports the regimes in Iran, Communist China, Cuba, and Venezuela. All of them continually seek to harm the United States and force us into a position of dependence upon them for our livelihood. Vladimir Putin’s unjustifiable and unlawful invasion of Ukraine is just one more example of this fact. I believe that the United States must continue to stand strongly with Ukraine and provide the lethal military aid it needs to win this war. Putin’s murderous attacks are a threat to our national security and the security of our democratic allies.
While we must continue to support democracy in Ukraine, I will not allow Russia’s unjust invasion to deprioritize or slow progress on solving urgent domestic issues such as securing the border, fighting inflation and rebuilding our national defense. Congress can continue to act and solve these issues, which we owe to the American people.
As Florida’s U.S. Senator, and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I will continue fighting for allies around the world, while also ensuring we take care of our families here at home. I am proud to represent every citizen in Florida and I appreciate the time you took to provide your position on this matter. Should you have any additional questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.
Absolutely. It came out shortly after he won election and I was absolutely stunned. But then quickly it disappeared. Between Putin and XI. Truly have control, of our country. Wake up. Folks. We’re in it for the fight of our lives and our freedom. Not only for my generation I’m 72. But for the generations that are still yet and have not enjoyed the freedoms that I’ve had.. I pray that we don’t lose this freedom that we’ve enjoyed so far.
Dems in Congress need to push back—need more than just words!!! They could have slowed the proceedings way down using tools at their disposal. Remember Tommy Tuberville holding up nominations? Remember Mitch McConnell’s obstructions?
Why don’t Dems fight for us? Why aren’t they opposing everything Republicans are doing? Why such weak leadership from Jeffries and Schumer? Why didn’t Dems have a well organized plan ready to execute when Trump won. They had Project 2025 almost 2 years. They said Trump was a fascist repeatedly.
Now, they are waking up a little—but maybe too late, as Trump now has complete control of the Justice Department, the intelligence services, and now the military, with Hegseth and a Joint Chiefs of Staff likely to be confirmed by Senate. This nominee has said to T, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.”
Will Dems use tools they have to block Gen. Caine? Or just make forceful speeches that do nothing to stop the process?
Again, most of us don’t realize. Even if these senators in Congress lose their jobs, their career senators.
I don’t remember the amount of time they have to to be an office But they walk away with a hefty pension. Plus free education I think we’re all in the wrong Business. We need to go into politics.
I am sorry you find the truth discouraging. People can be irate, yet still want to keep the power, perks, and prestige that go along with the job. Trusk has threatened to "primary" any Repub congress people who cross him, and they rightly take that threat as real rather than Trump's usual bluster. I don't blame them for not wanting to lose their golden tickets -- I do blame them for not being better people.
The truth is that the issue is wehther they are patriotic Americans. Some may be.
I remember people lile Bill Cohen, who was Susan Collins' boss, switching from Republican. Arlen Specter. Lots of House members. Some members, like my Republican rep, represent a Democratic majority. She is a woman. a Cuban, many who took advantage of DEI. She represents a district chocked full of people who receive governmental benefits, some under the Cuban Adjustment Act. Putin is the ally of the Cuban commie government.
I merely asked Rick Scott about his position. Did you not see the reply?
Why do you disscourage/minimize people? Are you another bot?
If people find my comments discouraging, that's on them, not me. They can skip reading my posts. I don't find minimizing the dire circumstances we're in -- or sowing false hope -- to be helpful in any way. Am I another bot? Not sure what the "another" part is -- are you saying you're a bot? -- rather, I am a third generation American citizen.
I’m watching the latest Meidas Touch post on YouTube. Ben just showed a clip of a young woman veteran sharing how she feels. Trump supporters need to see this!!! However, I’m sure they are at the effect of all this as well.
Yes! Same here! I’m from Georgia, so I really enjoyed seeing the Townhall with Rich McCormick.😂The constituents were a force to be reckoned with. It was so bad for McCormick that he cancelled his interview with a news network that was supposed to happen after the Townhall. 😂😂
Who was that woman who questioned McCormick- she was great
She also got him to admit that Biden was elected in the 2020 election… I don’t know if too many people noticed that admission (one sentence before he compared them to the Jan 6ers)
Glen Grothman in Wisconsin.met with this clown in 2009 when he was in the state legislature. Met to discuss educational funding. He could have cared LESS! Now in Congress and he has gotten much worse. It did my heart good to see him basically running away. Scott Fitzgerald was in the state legislature in 2020 and was part of the fake electors scheme..he is MAGA thru and thru..good to see him shot down as well.
I knew this would happen eventually. I only wish it would've before all of this damage had been done. My insurance has already started to deny medications that I've been on for years. MAGA doesn't give a shit unless it happens to them!
Americans have a ridiculously myopic ability to think bad things will only happen to other people, not to them personally. It will catch up to them but way too late to stop.
I hear people like Rachel (whom I deeply respect) and Ben Meiselas (same) talking about his numbers falling, but the fall seems minuscule to me. He still has support of almost half the country! I don’t see that worth bragging about—just a few points and within margin of error? He still has that much support with all the horrific things he’s doing??
Agreed, but they are falling, and that’s the important part in this fight. Folks are starting to wake up and smell the shit in front of them. It will gain momentum.
They are being fed disinformation on the other side. They truly believe fraud waste and abuse. They think they’re all getting a $5k check. The disinformation machine is alive and well. BUT as soon as it hits their job or their pocketbook or their parents, they’ll wake up
You’re right they don’t care. They’re the top 3% that owned this country MUSK Bezos Zuckerberg. They gave and are still giving Trump money. My insurance went back up to $6000 out-of-pocket for Medication. Everything that the previous administration had put in place. As Trump stated on the first day, he would be a dictator, but only one. But that’s all it took because it sent and it has been sending repercussions to all of us a fascist or a communist country. You have the ultra rich and then you have the poor that’s us!
Fight back! Get doctor's notes, write for appeals, try a pro bono lawyer! Their great hope is that you'll sigh and sit back on your hands. Don't let them bully you! I fully expect I'll have to do that - I'm already fighting one!
It's happening to them they all have the same type of insurance as the rest of us. They shop at the same places but there leader told them "they would need to feel this pain before it gets better" and they blindly believe him. I think deep down they know this is a con but can't admit it to themselves. Some are waking up but we need more to wake up.
You guys are fantastic! I’ve watched from Scotland from the very start of your journey & love all your contributors. The wheels of Trump & Musk bus are getting very shaky indeed. Crash will happen within the year.
Thank you Ben for standing up for Colin because it was such an injustice what happened to him. And I hope these so called angry/betrayed voters remember in 2026/2028 when the republicans destroyed their lives because they seem to forget quite quickly.
I often think about how Colin Kaepernick was vilified and stifled for a peaceful protest (as were others in the NFL) by the same people who cheered for and support the Jan. 6th criminal insurrectionists. Hard to believe really.
There is only one solution for this coup which has to be done immediately. In weeks. The American people must dethrone Trump and the Republican Party. There is no other solution. He is removing generals which was the only other solution. If you wait till the primary it will be too late. It’s now or never. America and the world will never be the same. Non-democracy powers will be the majority. Your freedom as a human will be gone. No unions, no health care, no Medicare, no financial support for growth or self improvement. No control because no elections. Now or never. You think I am wrong. Do you want to wait and see? At you and your family’s peril.
You are NOT wrong! We can’t wait until the 2026 elections to deal with Musk-Trump. We must speak out now and protest now. And thank God people are doing this even as we read this! Former MAGA folks are as enraged and inflamed as blue-state people. This energy is good energy and it is spreading by the minute. Musk and his pistol-packing marauders will soon — very soon — be history, a terrible nightmare from which the people — ALL of us — are awakening right now, in real time. Can you feel it? Now run with it!
You’re right!! Meidas is too optimistic, IMHO. Trump and Musk and frozen Repubs are hurtling our country towards fascism and oligarchy. Wake up, Dems. You’re already very late to start fighting back.
Too late to look for the help of anyone. You are talking like this is funny. If you voted for this, didn't vote at all, or sat on your ass election day, hope you have fun. Those of us who knew it was all BS , will be the ones I feel sorry for. We are all gonna pay.
And you know what’s next with all the media kissing the ring. Our ability to communicate on media to organize our protests. Start buying radios people. Pirate radio will be the only communication.
Ben, can citizens file class action lawsuits against the government for preventing the HHS from releasing vital public health information as well as limiting NTSB from only posting updates on Twitter?
Suing is good, but takes too long. We’re running out of time. Plus, it’s highly unlikely T will adhere to any judgments he dislikes. Who’s gonna enforce any laws. Not T’s justice department or military, etc.!
Yes I am with you!!! But I gotta say HCR’s last letter about the firings in our military branch has really unnerved me! But yes, I’m making phone calls and I’m ready to March/demonstrate! TY MTN!
Taking over the military is the classic fascist move. I am terrified. How do we get it back? I lived through Kent State. That was nothing compared to now. How will we demonstrate if Trump declares martial law and then the armed forces start shooting demonstrators?
Remember when he went on that walk to a church with military protection? The protesters were annoying him and he wanted to know why the military couldn't just shoot them in the knee. Military violence against citizens is no longer out of the question.
It should. We are now sitting ducks for every bad actor in the world as the fascist twins have decimated our intel and now our military. It's coming, and we won't have the organization to even clean up the mess after...and by mess I mean dead bodies and collapsed buildings.
Thank you being invested in fighting for justice! Thank you helping those who don’t have the influence to make our voices and outrage heard. Thank you inspiring people to stand up for justice and protect our American constitution!
It was a ruthless propaganda machine squawking over 40 years that got us here, and it will take a ruthless propaganda machine to get us out of this mess. Thanks for going for the jugular vein. It is time for truth, justice, and the American way to be victorious and time to put the greedy, cruel, fascist oligarchs out of power. Call it like you see it.
Truth Justice and The American Way — Superman and Batman are alive and well — they are us! Trump-Musk is the Joker and his Cabinet picks are a rogues’ gallery of dimwitted comic-book losers. We the people will blow the whole bunch of them out of the water and out of our lives. We will sink them and hang them out to dry and will do it now, not in future elections that they already believe they will buy.
Proud to be a subscriber to the Meidas Touch Network and to be a member of the MeidasMighty team. Keep on keeping on, Ben, Brett, Jordy and the rest of the MeidasMighty!
I just can’t stand Trump!!!! Now he’s talking about him and Elon going into Fort Knox!!! (All on Meidas Touch). The things this man comes out with!!! As Kyle Kulinski says, “I just can’t…..”
I loved watching all the town meetings with the constituents pushing back!! It was uplifting and gave me hope.
It is inspiring. I called the office of my rep. DAN CRENSHAW and was told he will hold an online event. I’ll be calling back to insist on a live forum.
W NC Rep doesn't even have a FB page, usually the least they can possibly do. Apparently following in the footsteps of last loser repug. What you get with egregious gerrymandering. Literally 0 effort.
Any social media, Facebook, Meta, Instagram, Twitter, X and any other platforms. I dumped years ago. I didn’t like where it was going. See how quickly the table turns when we walk away. Go back to sending emails writing letters texting and calling loved ones again it’s so much better.
I basically quit Facebook more than a decade ago. They came out with a policy that any pictures you post on Facebook, the photos become the property of Facebook. What the H#ll? No, I am not giving you my personal photos for you, Facebook, to own. Family members post a little bit on Facebook but not like they used to.
Where did you get that info? The photos remain yours, but FB does reserve the right to re-use them. I've never had them use one of the thousands of photos I've posted there, so this doesn't bother me much.
I used to think I would suffer from brain fog for the rest of my life..."𝐛𝐮𝐭" this changed everything.... https://t.co/vKIgtOFaNx
I read that as well. Another reason why I, too, quit the platform.
They have posted some of mine.
Yes agree! And getting off devices, reconnecting with nature, and saying hello to people face to face.
I am banned from most of them. I lost FB about a year ago.
that is a great credential imho
Well unfortunately I have some older FB friends from other countries and states that I would completely lose touch with; else I would have dumped them long ago. Friendships matter. I just don't spend much time there. Luckily I never adopted any other site until BSky. One invasive app was already one too many. I didn't have time to waste on the others.
"Literally zero effort" ........ and that's would he deserves to get from ALL of his constituents when their pen hovers over his name on the next ballot - before it moves on to a MUCH better qualified candidate..... but better yet, I'm sure y'all will show him what REAL effort is in displaying your collective rage in the coming days. Hang in there!
they don't have to do they? Maybe with enough pushback the voters will make a different decision in 2026 allowing for actual freedom instead of the pseudo freedom they have now.
Hope is important. Not fake hope, but factual hope. If that makes sense. But beyond hope, action is critical.
I have left voicemails for Tillis (I reminded him we are aware that he is up for reelection in '26), Budd, and Edwards. I have not been successful at actually speaking to a live person except Edwards' assistant, but I have left voicemails and plan to continue doing so. Let's jam the switchboards with our calls! And I have loved the clips of the Town Halls!
They'll continue to retreat from having to confront the consequences of their actions.
Which will eventually register with their constituents who are part of the base … may take time, but the seeds are being planted.
Unfortunately the seeds are ALSO being planted by this administration for an end to representative democracy, likely even before the midterms.
Very very true, and that’s why we have to plant more and nourish them every day. All seeds grow in darkness, but they eventually come into sunlight or they die. We have to cultivate this new democracy together. So grateful for this community of gardeners!
He won't get a FB page cause he thinks it will cost him money that he can pocket with fake "expenses" for himself
You can host a town hall without him! Put an empty chair and a rubber chicken in his place. Invite the local media! Protest! Ask the hard questions to the rubber chicken!
GREAT idea, Yvonne! Also, sometimes citizens will accept the offer from a democrat senator or rep to come instead -- or they'll request it themselves! It HAS been done, to great effect. I LOVE the idea. ("Rubber chicken" -- still chuckling over that one...)
I'd get a sheet & fashion an impromptu ghost in the chair.🤔 After all, it's not fair to compare these feeble pols to chickens (who can be quite fearless & even self-sacrificing in protecting their young🥰... unlike these pathetic, immoral, unethical Republican minions who do nothing to protect us and our democracy from Trummusk, Inc.😡).
To give credit where it’s due… I got the idea from the incredible Indivisible group!! Highly recommend you all follow them and find a group near you!! They also hold weekly zoom calls with practical ways to resist!!
Rubber chicken or whatever it takes! lol
Yvonne Faulkner, brilliant! I like the way you think. Also, I have to say,the rubber chicken 🐔 sitting in a chair cracked me up!
Oh my, brilliant!!!!! Share this one widely!
He can do both simultaneously, (even if he's scared of an in-person....)
Thank you, thank you ,many times over. You guys are amazing. Keep up the good work. Well get together. 👏👏👍
with online events, the line can always go kaput conveniently
We need to get rid of Musk as well. I’ve learned that he has gone into other countries trying to influence their top leaders like he has done here. I’m not sure what his agenda is, but after learning this I don’t trust him!!!! After all, he has gone into our govt’s computers. I’m sure he’s copied vital information. Not just our personal information!! He should not be able to get away with this!!!!
I agree. And, up here in Canada a formal petition to the Prime Minister to strip Musk of his Canadian citizenship is underway. It just started and so far, over 77,000 have formally signed it.
We need to mobilize Canadian as well as Mexican partners to close in from the north and south. I’m certain, there are many who want to assist us. This is the fight for all our lives. Putin and Musk/Trump are aiming for world dominance.
Canadian citizens have already been boycotting American products (and without any urging from their govt, who also supports us). They are also cancelling all plans to travel to the US, esp in the Carolinas and Florida where they can make up to 40% of their total tourism dollars. (It's been making a huge impact; the affected owners of those US businesses here have been contacting their US senators/reps PLEADING with them to do something. Mexico's president has been standing right up against trump, and "to his face". There is also some evidence that Mexican citizens are also boycotting American products as are some Europeans. WE NEED TO DO THE SAME OURSELVES. On Feb 28 there is a national boycott happening. NO SHOPPING ALL DAY on amazon, apple, meta, tesla, etc., and other big companies capitulating to trump/musk. Only exception, small local businesses. But why wait till the? Money is the only thing driving these thieves. Cancel accounts. Put the squeeze on them. If we all do it it will get their attn. With the help along these lines we're getting from OUTSIDE our borders, it's the least WE can do!
Mrytle Beach is gonna be empty during the “Canadian Summer” which is usually March. Us southerners would marvel at how they hit the beach in swimwear when the winds caused a good sand blasting on you.
I lived in MB for 20 years, and a couple of the places I worked (Shaftsbury Glen golf course and another one off of 544 near Coastal Carolina) depended on the Canadian snow birds for business! So, it will be interesting to see what happens overall down there!
Thank you. United we stand, DIVIDED we Fall.
He has Canadian citizenship, too? We need a petition to strip his American citizenship, too. I want him deported back to South Africa!
Yes -- Canadian, American, and South African. I'm surprised he didn't try for German citizenship as well. Hopefully, too late for that now, but I'm sure China and Russia would both be happy to grant him citizenship.
He came here on a student visa, but never went to school, so he was an illegal immigrant. That should be a good reason to revoke his citizenship.
I agree. He should also be banned from ever entering the USA again.
Any criminal offense is grounds for revoking naturalized citizenship. He is committing multiple felonies. We must start a petition calling for revoking his U.S. citizenship. musk is DANGEROUS!
Amen!!!
I'm happy to hear this, thank you for sharing.
Is that possible under Canadian law? I do love the idea!
👏 I hope your criteria for removal meets Canadas requirements. Great idea. Thank you for supporting doing everything you're doing!!! 💙
89000
133,788 now!
We need to do that here. Musk came to the states in 2002 and lied on his student visa which makes him an illegal alien.
Yes strip it you don't want anything to do with him
Where do you find this petition?
Ourcommons.ca
Petition e-5353- Petitions
Thank you! 🇨🇦in🇬🇧
Yay!!!!
I didn’t even know he was a citizen of Canada. Good move. Any other countries?
He wants our data to feed his AI world take over scheme. He will feed his Neurolink brain implant chips and his robots with our information. He already owns our communications via Starlink. He is dangerous.
Ok. Now I’m a bit worried. We need to stop him. He is also going to other parts of the world. Other countries!!
I doubt, at the moment, he can be stopped Sheila. He has the King's confidence and he's allowed to capture as much information about citizens as possible, surely this is to be used by his companies in the future. I find it interesting that the King allows Musk to carry on so that when it all goes pear-shaped the King will say it wasn't him but Musk who screwed it all up.
Hi Robin, I know you are using the word "King" sarcastically. But let's not give these monsters any credit they don't deserve.
Of course he will. Ultimate coward. But as we know the buck stops there. Who appointed Musk?
We better be scared! It’s happening as we speak . We better organize now , no time to waste!
The people should spend most of this summer in the streets, parks, halls, bars..protesting full time.
We really can't wait until summer. It will be too late by then.
The plan that Elon has had it's naissance in a movement in the 1930's called "Technocracy". His grandfather was a "card carrying" member and quite likely his ideas influenced Elon's father and then Elon. (I would like to thank Hal Sparks for an entire lesson about this last week on his You Tube channel)
"The technocrats emphasized that economists, engineers, and other professionals should control the economic system, rather than leave it to politicians or businesspeople with vested interests in maintaining the status quo.
End of Private Property:
Technocrats argued that private ownership of resources and means of production was obsolete and counterproductive.
They advocated for collective ownership of the nation’s resources, managed by experts on behalf of the public."(Elon thinks he's an expert...my opinion is he's just another grifter)
They (the Technocrats) had a map of how North America would look if they took over
https://bostonraremaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/BRM4117-Technate-of-America-1940_lowres2-scaled.jpg
The map is an eerily similar visual representation as to the ideas tRUMP has been spewing about taking over Canada and Greenland.....
This is what happens when dumb rich people gain control, in my opinion.
He may have helped Trump win by flipping votes through Star link. https://youtu.be/6G8fu50VRXo?feature=shared
He quite obviously did.
How did Bezos and other publishers know the election outcome, days before , when he bowed to Trump? Anyone knows?
Trump admitted it was rigged by Elon and Putin.
Boycott Amazon!!!!!
If you can. Some people who live in the middle of nowhere without stores they need probably won't be able to. Some competition though would be nice. We have to start paying more attention to the monopolies that are ruining our lives and the economy.
It's because they were all in on it. They have been planning this since Trump was in the White House the first time.
I knew the election outcome days before, and it had nothing to do with technology. I listened to Trump's base, looked at the Harris campaign, realized that "it's the economy" + immigration this time around, and it seemed obvious to me that Trump was going to win. I still donated hundreds of dollars to Blues in and out of my state and voted straight Blue as my conscience demanded, but I also knew it was a futile effort and money largely wasted. Wish I had been wrong.
Lots of folks were told they weren't on voting lists when they were. One voter in NC had a Passport as ID and was told by voting judge they "had never seen one" and were turned away. Folks many times don't know their rights. Fraud by local officials in cahoots with MAGA. Stuff coming out about it.
I have said that from the beginning! That orange clown did not win fairly and it's like they think we are too dumb to catch on. I am also concerned about Biden because they have a plan for him trust me. He give hints nobody ever pay attention to the hint was" Why didn't Biden pardon himself"
Would have been easy to generate fake ballots using a version of the program written by one of the Muskrats (Ethan Shaotran) that can generate authentic looking ballots (BallotProof). https://web.archive.org/web/20250204131222/https://devpost.com/software/ballotproof-vision
I think something strange happened as well.
Reminds me of HAL 9000 in 2001:space odyssey by Stanley Kubrick. That should scare thenhell out of everyone.
I remember Hal!!:):)
Musk is a drug-addicted meglomaniac! Google it. Elon Musk uses LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, mushrooms: WSJ. and Ketamine. The drugs allow him to stay up all night and tweet. He needs to be indicted, arrested and deported!! He has attacked and demolished some of these agencies as they were all investigatig him. He litterally "out loud ", said "If Kamala wins, I go to prison". He is very sick. May God Bless America!!
Agreed. He's been talking about taking over Texas Data Central!!! Yep. Elon is toxic! Is he using ketamine today? Mushrooms? LSD??
"Il Dodgy" might want it for AI, but his Muskrats will use their various copies to sell to China, Russia, etc. after they have to flee prosecution in US. After all, China's attempt to hack Treasury Dept. last December was stopped at the lower level. Muskrats can give them copy of the higher level files!!
He can just take our data, ai bots, and Trump right off to mars with him. He needs to get tf outta here
Send him on a one-way ticket to Mars!
Very
Stop the lunatics from data grabs NOW
He is a real Hollywood movie bad guy.
Since you mentioned AI I thought you might enjoy this comedy by Josh Johnson. Yes, it is comedy; but, it has a message too that is serious. The part about AI basically starts at 8 minutes or so. The earlier part is very good also. It is about what happens to bullies.

I'll check that out later today, thanks
Don’t know if you realize or have been made aware of. Musk, received his money. From USAID. THE VERY INSTITUTION HE AND BIG BALLS ARE IN THEIR DESTROYING. Plus, musk is attacking. We’re in investigation was open against the Tesla vehicle and SpaceX. For violation and it’s health and safety. It was shared here on this platform and I’m so glad it’s here that we can speak here safely.
Yup, I love this space. Not only do we get to share our thoughts, but we can acknowledge each other and reply to each other as well.
Finally free!!
He's been supporting the German neo-nazi party saying everyone should vote for it and why should Germans be at all concerned about what they got up to in the past (NB that didn't go particularly well, did it!). And attacking the other German parties. Blatant interference in the German elections. UK similar, also spreading lies and hate speech inflaming the riots caused by misinformation last summer. Other countries too. Pay attention to what the new régime is saying and doing to foreign countries, especially in Europe. It will give you a better perspective on the coup happening now in the USA.
Anyone that runs on a California platform and is on the ballot. I always take my time to look up every individual background where they came from with. They’re voting is like what they support politically and socially. Before I put or even consider them to represent me here in California. Whatever I do there that day I vote will affect me for the rest of my life. I’m 72 years old now.
I do the same.. try to educate myself on who’s on the ballot. I’m here in Fl, it’s difficult to navigate thru this red state, especially when you’re not..a red. I am openly willing to attend rallies (peacefully) and spread truths not the disinformation and ridiculous things that come out of Trump/musk’s mouths. They are scaring a lot of folks, me pushing 70. I am not afraid of them!
That's what people should always do. But maga voters were too lazy to look anything up.
Please don't generalize about MAGA voters or anyone else. It's not productive. And it's lazy on your part . . .
Already said: watch the German election now! Big fraud coming up, just like here. I’m nearly certain. They succeeded in the US, they can sack Europe as easy.
Germany is having their elections today!
disinformation!!!! misinformation is very different
I get the feeling Musk wants to control everything he can. Like Hitler.
Yes Cheryl. Elon is scary and pathetic. I mean what does the man want or need???
His agenda is obvious- install nazi regimes in all possible countries so they will enact his will, not the people's. He also wants to get rid of all regulations so no one can stop any of the illegal shit his companies are doing.
I think all of it is feeding his personality disorder!! Both Donald and Elon feed off their triggering and our reactions!! Yes!! I'm seeing borderline traits!
He may have helped Trump win by flipping votes through Star link.
https://youtu.be/6G8fu50VRXo?feature=shared
Yep he would if he could I know that! That rigged 100 dollar giveaway! What info did he mine for that data pool! He admitted the million dollar winner was staged!! He was manipulating people! He thinks that's laughable?? He's not above the law! He is violating the law!! Judges need to deputize the right people! Not federal marshalls!!
No question!!
Easy to generate fake ballots using a modified version of a program written by one of the Muskrats (Ethan Shaotran) that makes ballots appear legitimate (BallotProof): https://web.archive.org/web/20250204131222/https://devpost.com/software/ballotproof-vision
Macron already investigates the last election, sensing fraud. He promised Musk to freeze his assets if he participated. Musk works closely with Putin and learned how to collect data to manipulate and also to use against us. There are so many people involved. From the Koch brothers to the techbros to Opus Dei. They are a major force we’ll have to defeat.
Watch the German elections, I expect a big fraud.
I believe T stole the 2024 election. With all the Putin interference—easy. Why didn’t Dems at least investigate???
I don't know but I am beginning to think that the Democrats are their own worst enemy
That's what I wondered, I can't understand why they didn't investigate, it'd make it so much quicker to get shot of them.
He’s going for world domination. He’s also an idiot, so it isn’t likely to happen.
He gets far too much credit for the work of his employees. No doubt there is some good engineering going on at Tesla, but it’s not coming from Musk.
Musk's agenda is nothing short of world domination. You are right not to trust him or anyone kowtowing to him.
He's a Nazi, plain and simple. In addition to meddling big time in Germany's next election (today?) in order to help the faaaar right (Nazi) party there, he's doing the same in a good 7-8 other countries. Somebody needs to empty his bank acct., stat.
He is working for Putin. That’s why he’s been campaigning for AfD in Germany (as close to a neo-Nazi party as their laws will allow). He’s a scumbag doing the bidding of dictators. I assume his wish is that when it’s all said and done and Putin controls the entire world, he’ll take a big slice of the pie. That and the jollies he gets from the cruelty.
I live in a red district in southern California. Our useless R congressman got an earful at his town hall yesterday. People were furious and shouting and all he could do was repeat tepid GOP talking points and platitudes. The constituents weren’t buying it. He ended up skedaddling early with his staff and sheriff’s department “protectors.”
Love it!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!❤️
So now the big lie being spread by the Republicans is that the "Red" townhalls are "blues" filling the audiences. 😡
🙄 And they know this how? Do people have to show their voter card to attend a town hall? Sheesh. Even a reliably red district like mine is 40% non-Republican. Our R congressman won 60-40% in 2024, so 4 out of every 10 voters in our (very large) southern California district voted for his Dem challenger. But we are still his constituents, so we have every right to attend. Yesterday at our local town hall, our congressman got an earful from 200 very angry people, and I bet there were plenty of Republicans in the room!
Reds, blues, purples are all welcome!
Pointing out that is more disinformation and lies for people to latch onto.
Doesn’t matter who is giving them shit at long as they get it. So are the red hats going to attack anyone showing up at these events? Just what we need.
That is hilarious. I wish I could’ve been there.
Me too! I read about it online 😁
GOP protectors = Gestapo/SS/ICE nazi stormtroopers
I wish I had known too! I will definitely show up to red districts. Ben: lead a protest and we will be there!
Yay!!!
Republicans in Congress have to push back. Picket. Sit in.
Unfortunately, they will not because for them . Being career politicians, even if they retire now or get kicked out of office most of them will be walking away with a hefty pension at our expense. They don’t care they just want their bread and butter a roof over their heads food on the table. We were all used whether we voted for Trump or not.
Sadly, these republicans apparently don’t,care about the future for their children and grand children. It’s shameful.
That’s maybe the point we need to get across to those freaking representatives. Asking them: do you want your children/grandchildren grow up and live under dangerous conditions as the Trump regime promises.? Your son/ daughter might voice different opinions and if one doesn’t align with an authoritarian out the window they are.
Where I live, with a Dem majajoity, 3 MAGAT Batistaiano House members. All Cuban Americans. Trump is deporting Cubans who have humanitarian visas.
Many of their constituants are also Venezuelan, Hatian. I don't know it as a fact but most had sponsors who are local residents and probably supported Trump. No mas!. https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/editorials/article300732909.html
2 of the 3 had been Dem. One was our Dem Mayor until 2020.
Constiuents should be sitting in. Picketing.
Not necessarily. Her's a response from my MAA senator. Pass it on.
Trump Ukraine policy stupidity is a window of opportunity.
Send your rep a copy of this:
Dear Mr. Solomon,
Thank you for contacting me regarding the war in Ukraine. I appreciate the opportunity to respond.
Russia is a cancerous, evil regime that threatens our national security by attempting to control as much of Europe and Eurasia as it can. It also supports the regimes in Iran, Communist China, Cuba, and Venezuela. All of them continually seek to harm the United States and force us into a position of dependence upon them for our livelihood. Vladimir Putin’s unjustifiable and unlawful invasion of Ukraine is just one more example of this fact. I believe that the United States must continue to stand strongly with Ukraine and provide the lethal military aid it needs to win this war. Putin’s murderous attacks are a threat to our national security and the security of our democratic allies.
While we must continue to support democracy in Ukraine, I will not allow Russia’s unjust invasion to deprioritize or slow progress on solving urgent domestic issues such as securing the border, fighting inflation and rebuilding our national defense. Congress can continue to act and solve these issues, which we owe to the American people.
As Florida’s U.S. Senator, and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I will continue fighting for allies around the world, while also ensuring we take care of our families here at home. I am proud to represent every citizen in Florida and I appreciate the time you took to provide your position on this matter. Should you have any additional questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Rick Scott
United States Senator
Hahaha. Wasn't Rick Scott the one busted for billions in Medicare fraud before going to congress? He's also a magat, if i remember correctly.
Yes. But never look a gift horse in the mouth. I am told that Wicker, Mrkowski, Tillis have said the same.
Did he vote to confirm Tulsi Gabbard, Pvtin's asz licker?
Of course. He's all in....except on Ukraine.
This is a gift.
If he really cared he would have voted no on Tulsi, sh will kowtow to Pvtin.
What is an MAA senator?
Typo. MAGA.
Absolutely. It came out shortly after he won election and I was absolutely stunned. But then quickly it disappeared. Between Putin and XI. Truly have control, of our country. Wake up. Folks. We’re in it for the fight of our lives and our freedom. Not only for my generation I’m 72. But for the generations that are still yet and have not enjoyed the freedoms that I’ve had.. I pray that we don’t lose this freedom that we’ve enjoyed so far.
Dems in Congress need to push back—need more than just words!!! They could have slowed the proceedings way down using tools at their disposal. Remember Tommy Tuberville holding up nominations? Remember Mitch McConnell’s obstructions?
Why don’t Dems fight for us? Why aren’t they opposing everything Republicans are doing? Why such weak leadership from Jeffries and Schumer? Why didn’t Dems have a well organized plan ready to execute when Trump won. They had Project 2025 almost 2 years. They said Trump was a fascist repeatedly.
Now, they are waking up a little—but maybe too late, as Trump now has complete control of the Justice Department, the intelligence services, and now the military, with Hegseth and a Joint Chiefs of Staff likely to be confirmed by Senate. This nominee has said to T, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.”
Will Dems use tools they have to block Gen. Caine? Or just make forceful speeches that do nothing to stop the process?

Flip Repubs and we control. The odds of getting control by obstructing minor issues are slim.
Ask Sheriff Norris if he supports Putin.
They won't. Too afraid of losing their jobs.
Again, most of us don’t realize. Even if these senators in Congress lose their jobs, their career senators.
I don’t remember the amount of time they have to to be an office But they walk away with a hefty pension. Plus free education I think we’re all in the wrong Business. We need to go into politics.
You are always discoluraging. I don't know who you worked with. Most of the exRepublicans I know from work -- even some appointees -- are irate.
People who served salute.
I am sorry you find the truth discouraging. People can be irate, yet still want to keep the power, perks, and prestige that go along with the job. Trusk has threatened to "primary" any Repub congress people who cross him, and they rightly take that threat as real rather than Trump's usual bluster. I don't blame them for not wanting to lose their golden tickets -- I do blame them for not being better people.
The truth is that the issue is wehther they are patriotic Americans. Some may be.
I remember people lile Bill Cohen, who was Susan Collins' boss, switching from Republican. Arlen Specter. Lots of House members. Some members, like my Republican rep, represent a Democratic majority. She is a woman. a Cuban, many who took advantage of DEI. She represents a district chocked full of people who receive governmental benefits, some under the Cuban Adjustment Act. Putin is the ally of the Cuban commie government.
I merely asked Rick Scott about his position. Did you not see the reply?
Why do you disscourage/minimize people? Are you another bot?
If people find my comments discouraging, that's on them, not me. They can skip reading my posts. I don't find minimizing the dire circumstances we're in -- or sowing false hope -- to be helpful in any way. Am I another bot? Not sure what the "another" part is -- are you saying you're a bot? -- rather, I am a third generation American citizen.
I’m watching the latest Meidas Touch post on YouTube. Ben just showed a clip of a young woman veteran sharing how she feels. Trump supporters need to see this!!! However, I’m sure they are at the effect of all this as well.
How do we find that video. I’d like to see it but can’t find it
It is in this clip

Yes! Same here! I’m from Georgia, so I really enjoyed seeing the Townhall with Rich McCormick.😂The constituents were a force to be reckoned with. It was so bad for McCormick that he cancelled his interview with a news network that was supposed to happen after the Townhall. 😂😂
I used to think I would suffer from brain fog for the rest of my life..."𝐛𝐮𝐭" this changed everything.... https://t.co/vKIgtOFaNx
Look what happened at a meeting last night 😔 https://www.reddit.com/r/Whistleblowers/comments/1iw03g9/sheriff_robert_norris_attempts_to_drag_one_of_his/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Who was that woman who questioned McCormick- she was great
She also got him to admit that Biden was elected in the 2020 election… I don’t know if too many people noticed that admission (one sentence before he compared them to the Jan 6ers)
Glen Grothman in Wisconsin.met with this clown in 2009 when he was in the state legislature. Met to discuss educational funding. He could have cared LESS! Now in Congress and he has gotten much worse. It did my heart good to see him basically running away. Scott Fitzgerald was in the state legislature in 2020 and was part of the fake electors scheme..he is MAGA thru and thru..good to see him shot down as well.
I knew this would happen eventually. I only wish it would've before all of this damage had been done. My insurance has already started to deny medications that I've been on for years. MAGA doesn't give a shit unless it happens to them!
I was confident it would, my only surprise is why his numbers are as high as they are. Are people not seeing what’s going on???
Americans have a ridiculously myopic ability to think bad things will only happen to other people, not to them personally. It will catch up to them but way too late to stop.
I hear people like Rachel (whom I deeply respect) and Ben Meiselas (same) talking about his numbers falling, but the fall seems minuscule to me. He still has support of almost half the country! I don’t see that worth bragging about—just a few points and within margin of error? He still has that much support with all the horrific things he’s doing??
Agreed, but they are falling, and that’s the important part in this fight. Folks are starting to wake up and smell the shit in front of them. It will gain momentum.
They are being fed disinformation on the other side. They truly believe fraud waste and abuse. They think they’re all getting a $5k check. The disinformation machine is alive and well. BUT as soon as it hits their job or their pocketbook or their parents, they’ll wake up
Is that AFTER Elon gets his $42B?
You’re right they don’t care. They’re the top 3% that owned this country MUSK Bezos Zuckerberg. They gave and are still giving Trump money. My insurance went back up to $6000 out-of-pocket for Medication. Everything that the previous administration had put in place. As Trump stated on the first day, he would be a dictator, but only one. But that’s all it took because it sent and it has been sending repercussions to all of us a fascist or a communist country. You have the ultra rich and then you have the poor that’s us!
Still terrified.. and the post office 💔
https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/22/politics/leland-dudek-acting-social-security-head-doge/index.html
I know. My husband works for the post office so I'm hoping he still has a job after Trump gets his grubby little hands on it.
OMG that’s awful! I am so sorry. I grieve for all the suffering that’s happening and will only get worse. I will die if I can’t get my medications.
But they don't care if you will not survive this. I won't have anything when he gets rid of Medicare, Medicaid and SS, as will my parents.
Me as well..
My Part D is good so have filled everything for three months while I can, altho it's a stretch.
Fight back! Get doctor's notes, write for appeals, try a pro bono lawyer! Their great hope is that you'll sigh and sit back on your hands. Don't let them bully you! I fully expect I'll have to do that - I'm already fighting one!
It's happening to them they all have the same type of insurance as the rest of us. They shop at the same places but there leader told them "they would need to feel this pain before it gets better" and they blindly believe him. I think deep down they know this is a con but can't admit it to themselves. Some are waking up but we need more to wake up.
You guys are fantastic! I’ve watched from Scotland from the very start of your journey & love all your contributors. The wheels of Trump & Musk bus are getting very shaky indeed. Crash will happen within the year.
Hope so! There are special elections ahead. But with The Mighty Sharpee Trump is not challenged on either side of the isle.
Jeffries is on a book tour presently.
Rise up and take down this fascist regime!!!!
Jamie Raskin needs JUST 2 REPUBLICANS to get to work !! How do we select and pressure 2? Lets GO Meidas Meighty !
On second thought.. Let’s pressure them ALL! Go big or go home ! There has to be more than 2 at this point .
Thank you Ben for standing up for Colin because it was such an injustice what happened to him. And I hope these so called angry/betrayed voters remember in 2026/2028 when the republicans destroyed their lives because they seem to forget quite quickly.
I often think about how Colin Kaepernick was vilified and stifled for a peaceful protest (as were others in the NFL) by the same people who cheered for and support the Jan. 6th criminal insurrectionists. Hard to believe really.
So proud to be with you, Ben…..”the truth is marching on”!
There is only one solution for this coup which has to be done immediately. In weeks. The American people must dethrone Trump and the Republican Party. There is no other solution. He is removing generals which was the only other solution. If you wait till the primary it will be too late. It’s now or never. America and the world will never be the same. Non-democracy powers will be the majority. Your freedom as a human will be gone. No unions, no health care, no Medicare, no financial support for growth or self improvement. No control because no elections. Now or never. You think I am wrong. Do you want to wait and see? At you and your family’s peril.
You are NOT wrong! We can’t wait until the 2026 elections to deal with Musk-Trump. We must speak out now and protest now. And thank God people are doing this even as we read this! Former MAGA folks are as enraged and inflamed as blue-state people. This energy is good energy and it is spreading by the minute. Musk and his pistol-packing marauders will soon — very soon — be history, a terrible nightmare from which the people — ALL of us — are awakening right now, in real time. Can you feel it? Now run with it!
Oh, Tugs, you are right on! Free elections ended Nov. 5, 2024.
You’re right!! Meidas is too optimistic, IMHO. Trump and Musk and frozen Repubs are hurtling our country towards fascism and oligarchy. Wake up, Dems. You’re already very late to start fighting back.
Too late to look for the help of anyone. You are talking like this is funny. If you voted for this, didn't vote at all, or sat on your ass election day, hope you have fun. Those of us who knew it was all BS , will be the ones I feel sorry for. We are all gonna pay.
Ther's is NO time like the present!
And you know what’s next with all the media kissing the ring. Our ability to communicate on media to organize our protests. Start buying radios people. Pirate radio will be the only communication.
Ben, can citizens file class action lawsuits against the government for preventing the HHS from releasing vital public health information as well as limiting NTSB from only posting updates on Twitter?
Yes. We are already suing the muskrat and his minions. Their racism and sexism targeted my partner and many other dedicated DEI civil servants: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/can-you-help-fund-my-partners-lawsuit
Suing is good, but takes too long. We’re running out of time. Plus, it’s highly unlikely T will adhere to any judgments he dislikes. Who’s gonna enforce any laws. Not T’s justice department or military, etc.!
Good logic and insight but no sentence pointing to what’s next. We have to talk about what is next.
Yes I am with you!!! But I gotta say HCR’s last letter about the firings in our military branch has really unnerved me! But yes, I’m making phone calls and I’m ready to March/demonstrate! TY MTN!
Taking over the military is the classic fascist move. I am terrified. How do we get it back? I lived through Kent State. That was nothing compared to now. How will we demonstrate if Trump declares martial law and then the armed forces start shooting demonstrators?
Yes, that is the likely scenario isnt it. He’d enjoy it just as he did during the Insurrection. He’s depraved
Remember when he went on that walk to a church with military protection? The protesters were annoying him and he wanted to know why the military couldn't just shoot them in the knee. Military violence against citizens is no longer out of the question.
Sure is. Why so many did not see this is beyond ridiculous
The others who want to be Russia, buckle up .
It should. We are now sitting ducks for every bad actor in the world as the fascist twins have decimated our intel and now our military. It's coming, and we won't have the organization to even clean up the mess after...and by mess I mean dead bodies and collapsed buildings.
Thank you being invested in fighting for justice! Thank you helping those who don’t have the influence to make our voices and outrage heard. Thank you inspiring people to stand up for justice and protect our American constitution!
It was a ruthless propaganda machine squawking over 40 years that got us here, and it will take a ruthless propaganda machine to get us out of this mess. Thanks for going for the jugular vein. It is time for truth, justice, and the American way to be victorious and time to put the greedy, cruel, fascist oligarchs out of power. Call it like you see it.
Truth Justice and The American Way — Superman and Batman are alive and well — they are us! Trump-Musk is the Joker and his Cabinet picks are a rogues’ gallery of dimwitted comic-book losers. We the people will blow the whole bunch of them out of the water and out of our lives. We will sink them and hang them out to dry and will do it now, not in future elections that they already believe they will buy.
More like rig.
I totally agree.
Thank you for this message of hope!
Hope is good, but needs to be balanced with reality.
Proud to be a subscriber to the Meidas Touch Network and to be a member of the MeidasMighty team. Keep on keeping on, Ben, Brett, Jordy and the rest of the MeidasMighty!
I’m praying that the GOP wakes up and we can finally rid ourselves of Trump!!!!
Get rid of him one way or another.
Amen Patrick!!! I so agree!!!!
I just can’t stand Trump!!!! Now he’s talking about him and Elon going into Fort Knox!!! (All on Meidas Touch). The things this man comes out with!!! As Kyle Kulinski says, “I just can’t…..”
You are our hero s!
