Even in our local communities

WE need to call them out !! My local Gannett paper is essentially platforming our MAGA Rep with absolutely NO pushback.DOGE is no big deal “because it’s like when you have a fraudulent charge on your credit card and want it investigated.” Blah,blah,blah…

Write/call your local editors.I cancelled my long-term subscription and let the Exec Editor know why. She answered within minutes,on a Saturday.They are listening…and complicit if they don’t act !

We are adrift in the waters of capitalism, SO: Your local Gannett paper's ADVERTISERS are its weak spot (both locally & nationally, but their local ad sources are at least accessible to local pressure) reach out & TELL THEM they're losing customer support because of THEIR support of that paper's actions (or inaction). Tell your friends! It's a party! And if there IS independent local media, especially analog local independent media, and they have positions that you can support, then go out and buy them! And support their advertisers!

Since Midas is the most watched podcast in the US and is popular in Canada would you be willing to give one podcast a week to highlight all of the protests so every one in Canada , US and around the world can see we all don’t want this chaos

Rachel (Maddow, msnbc, 9pm EST, repeated Midnight EST) has been doing it as a regular segment of her program every night. Very uplifting and inspirational!

A fine idea! Hey Bros! I bet y'all could summarize (with LINKS!!!) each week's public displays of political dismay that wouldn't even need to be a full posting!

(Hmmm... the danger of course is that it could be reductive enough so that it becomes part of the general murmuring which would then serve to undercut the power of each individual action.... maybe it should become its own Midas Channel!)

Trump has used OPM (other people's money) his entire life. In order for him to buy Tesla Musk would have to lend him the money. LOL 😂 Dumpty can’t pay attention. He is a snake and a cannibal. Folks should have caught onto that when he regaled his crowds during the campaign.

This is why it's so important to protest locally. The local citizens will never see it on the news so they need to see it in person right in front of them. And then the protesters need to submit their own photos and articles to local publications and post everywhere on social media. We are the "someone" who has to do "something."

You are the local reporter my friend! Take a phone or tablet or video camera, film with your comments being added if you can audio record also. Go home review the video. Upload to the Internet via your own accounts, groups You might belong to, local Indivisible, 50/50/1,there are so many ways you can help report what the local media will not. We the PEOPLE ARE IN THIS ALL THE WAY. The PEOPLE United Can NEVER be DEFEATED! UNITED AMERICANS ARE STANDING UP TO THE ILLEGAL UNCONSTITUTIONAL REGIME.

I'm attending an organizing meeting soon WHERE I want to go local (State); showing up demanding our State Nullify this election of unqualified, Disqualified Criminals. Under the Tenth Amendment we have the RIGHT TO BEGIN THE PROCESS of Removing this regime.MAYBE Other States will follow.

I have some money in stocks - my retirement savings. I called my broker last week and told him to pull everything out and buy medical stocks, staples and gold and silver. I told him why. Apparently he is watching Fox News. I gave him the Meidas Touch and Brian Tyler Cohen. I told him to try watching the truth. I know he is now.

Yes! Basically I did the same! You like gold? Do a due diligence on aabb!! I think Mexico Claudia is going to pull that out of her back pocket!! As soon as the end of Q 1 maybe? See what you think?

Expand full comment

I have been thinking of European stocks but need to do more research. My broker is, of course, a republican. A nice guy- a fiscal conservative as my father was and my brother is. But one thing I learned at an early age is that fiscal conservatives, and right wingers in general, wear blinders. They see what they want to see and ignore what they don't want to see. Narrow vision.

I am so happy with this honest and intelligent reporting! I am not an american. I am a european. A dutchy. And since Obama my awareness of America grew. Trump was a not expected nightmare, i felt like watching a horror show. Than Biden came. But sorry, i was not very confident. Because of Trump playing president in his replica of the oval office at Mar-a-lago. Like in a loony bin with other idiots. And then i started looking for honest news, because the main stream media did not pay attention. I found Meidas, Occupy democrats, Reich, enfin, the whole bunch of people who realised something horrible threatened to happen.

In europe the same thing is going on. Orban extorting the European Union, in my country the blond extremist wilders, the shift to extreme right in many countries. It scares me. But knowing is strengthening. Knowing that there still are honest, intelligent voices. Thank you.

I see a few comments about impeachment.

Forget about it.

It will never happen and it will ultimately cost the Democrats voters.

The best strategy is to remind the American people how Trump is hurting us, not only by what he is doing, but what he's not doing.

Bring it up daily.

Shout it out in front of every camera.

Create more sound bites.

Remember, if there's one thing Trump and the Republicans are good at, it's marketing and branding.

Beat them at their own game.

Fight smarter, not harder.

Our lives depend on it!

Expand full comment

Disagree. Must impeach (or try) AND set forth a bold agenda for change and rebuilding like the Green New Deal.

Expand full comment

I think we do need to expand on green energy, but none of it makes sense if Democrats don't win.

I guarantee that attempting another impeachment will only strengthen Trumps position and make the Democrats look like the bad guys.

Remember, every time they've tried to remove this guy it's only added fuel to the whole "witch hunt" narrative.

The best way to hurt Trump is to win the mid terms, take back Congress and hurt him where it counts....the legislative process. Laws can't be passed without Congressional approval. The next two years are critical.

Thanks for you comment, CC.

I appreciate you.

Expand full comment

You are assuming that he would obey congress.

Expand full comment

Well, if his toadies aren't running it, then "yeah" he will have to pay attention. And if the Dems could ever get a filibuster proof majority in the Senate again, impeachment and removal then become a given.

Expand full comment

Well, he's already testing that theory now. However, once his base starts to see that everything he campaigned on was a lie, he loses in the long run.

Remember, they see him as their savior. When he doesn't deliver, Dems must be ready to call him out.

Thanks Steve. Good point.

Talking and shouting has done nothing 😡Actions need to be taken

I agree, Rosemary.

The old arguments will not work.

Focus on what everyday people are struggling with and how the current administration neglects to respond.

That’s how we win.

Hopefully, Democrats learn from their mistakes and start implementing a strategy now.

Thanks for you comment.

Expand full comment

We are the "Democrats" and we need to take on the mantle of campaigning just as strongly and seriously as we expect our leaders. We give them power by speaking with them and for them and to the rest of the Country.

Start campaigning now. Don't wait for that person to step up and announce their candidacy. If you want to join a local DNC group, contact them in your area, or form your own group and network to build a bigger coalition. Since the failure of the Democrats to win this last election has hurt all of us, then all of us can win the next time by being the campaign.

That's what I've been saying.

How much is it costing us taxpayers for Trumps weekend trips back to Palm Beach each weekend, and then multiply it for a years worth, then 4 years (if he is still in office)

Expand full comment

At lot as he likes to say. But, it's not like we get to say where our taxes go. We see them in our paychecks and that's about it. Trump never addressed or explained the 8 trillion he added to the deficit on his first go around. The so-called "fraud and abuse" DOGE keeps yapping about has resulted in zero arrests so we know it's just another con.
