As a 66 year old woman, I couln't agree more. I truly appreciate the efforts the Meidas brothers and all of thier ally's are persuing and helping ensure our country has a chance. Right now, my 2 young adult grandaughters do not have the same rights in Texas that I had when I was their age. That can not be allowed to stand. We must stay informed and stay engaged.

I am new to Substack, but started with Medias before we hit1 million subscribers. I was into the Peace Corps in Colombia mid 60s. On my return, as a nurse/ nurse practitioner, I did rural and migrant healthcare and women’s healthcare before and after Roe. I now do exercise/ strength training for older adults.

You have made my morning bright with all your likes💖

I exercise in a class, I'm retired, I play in a concert band. Nice to make your acquaintance. I spent my entire career in engineering and technical. I was with Meidas 5 yr ago. Isn't Substack wonderful.

I’m 84, and I agree completely. I only hope those working to save our democracy have proper protections in place. MTN are the true patriots, we have been grateful for their leadership in the past, but in the future we will need each other more than ever.

After seeing who he’s picking for the Cabinet, it’s getting even worse. The word to describe the situation is kakistocracy, in other words, government by the worst people.

Thank you MTN for sharing information we need to go forward.

Hello Sharon welcome. Thank you for your comments. We are in this to share thoughts and feelings, to form strategies and push backs. Adelante! Forward in Spanish!

Sharon, thanks for teaching me a new word. “Kakistocracy” coming,”

The quote is from the Three Musketeers by (I think ) Dumas.

The demagogs like to quote Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream”inappropriately. The more relevant quote from that speech is “Willful ignorance and conscientious stupidity are the greatest threats to democracy “.

Ben, Brett, Geordie and the incredible Meidas community,

Thank you for all you’re doing in this fight for our lives. We’re with you and will get through this pending nightmare and come through the other side.

720 days to the midterms and a ton of work to do between now and then!!

I am so sorry for the threats. You have done so much for this community, and I am grateful for all of it. Protect yourselves and your families.

Sadly, in this era of Trump, death threats indicate that you are doing a good job - stay vigilant, Ben & your brothers & team members, your wives and children - you are very special people whose dedication to normality & democracy are an inspiration to so many. Although I live in the UK, my blood runs cold at what is in store for the good people of the US and I fear for the repercussions Trump and his fascist cronies will unleash, not only on the US, but around the planet.

Jim Page's avatar

I’m in the UK as well Nigel. And having just made 85 worry so much not for myself but for my children and even more so for my grandchildren. It is interesting that so many of the responders here are in our 80s - we have lived long enough to be able to know right from wrong - even if we haven’t quite managed that in our own lives ❓❗️I will remain subscribed to MIDAS - keeping me to remain hopeful 👍

Keep up the fight Ben! You have got an extra package now who's going to grow up and realize how great her dad is and what he did for democracy.

We will get there eventually, there's just too many feckless morons right now for us to see how bright that future is.

I think sometimes people forget that great leaders are great because they understand the responsibility to their own humanity and how vital that is to be shared with others. It might make you feel vulnerable, I don't think it does. Its gonna make you a cool and "hip" dad.

Hi! New subscriber here. I’ve canceled my NYT and WaPo subscriptions. I no longer trust corporate media (haven’t for some time now). Meidas will be my #1 source (as well as a few others like Jeff Tiedrich). I am happy to be apart of the Meidas+ community. Good day, all!

Ben, joined in 2016 when Frump got elected and saw you grow. As despicable as this is, it means you and the brothers have a place - and it’s visible! Let’s regroup and organize, battle lost but live to fight another day! Keep safe. ❤️‍🩹🫶🏽

Please stay safe. I don’t know where we all would be without you, Ben.

Question: Under Trump administration does the FBI investigate domestic terrorism at all?

Lisa59's avatar

No, they won't. They normalized it. Over half of Americans are good with it.

Jennifer Em's avatar

He's planning to try and eliminate the FBI.

Margaret Williams's avatar

And it’s the FBI that is investigating all the threats against trump

So thankful for everyone at Meidas Touch and all you do.

We learn so much more than current political events and climate. We are, also, gaining an education in law, public demeanor, and strong moral support amongst the Meidas Mighty.

I am thankful for you and for all our members 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
