Ben, Robert Reich said to me that you’re “an extraordinarily intelligent young man, doing your best for this country.” I agree, and so do the Guardian, the Webbys, and the Meidas Mighty. MTN hasn’t had to pay a penny to Dominion for lying. No wonder Fox wants to shut you up.

Fox is for fascists. Medias is for democracy defenders. Let's all sing the No Kings anthem together on Saturday at the protests: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/no-kings-anthem

I'm sticking my neck out massively by posting this repeatedly. I beg of you, please repeat my speech and please don't mention me by name at the No Kings Rally. I'm not gonna stop posting this until we see a change.

I know that we must escalate, but not to violence, which brings me to a question: why do we need to follow the pre-made election times when the government hasn't been following certain laws and practices? Why do we need the government to tell us when we can and can't have an election? Why not print our own ballots, why not hold our own elections when we see our leaders as unfit? We can't let ourselves give in to fear. Fear keeps us compliant. Fear keeps us controlled. We are not bound by our own routines, and in this dire time, we must ignore our Constitution in favor of saving our Constitution; specifically, the part where it says exactly when a vote should be held, and by who. We must step out of the norm. We are forgetting that we, the people, have the power if we unite. We have the ability to act, so it is our responsibility to act. We must change this ourselves. Protesting alone with signs and public view isn't enough, so let's take another form of protest. The people currently in federal power are treating us like we are all employees, worker bees made to line their own pockets, but we are not worker bees. Employees get healthcare from their employers, Trump is cutting it. Employees get various benefits from their employers, and Trump is ignoring the little guy in favor of his rich "shareholders". Employees must all have equal opportunity in a company, and he is preventing immigrants, who are trying to go to immigration court for legal status, from attaining legal status, calling them illegals, criminals, and other such names, to dehumanize them, and create an "us vs them" dynamic among his supporters, and unfortunately, it has been working, against immigrants and against anyone who isn't MAGA. We, the people, can and must hold a special election and create special ballots, free of violence, free of bias, and free of rigging from those with money, as are our rights. This vote would be done as a population majority vote only, without the gerrymandering of voting districts or the house of representatives. We must act before his declaration of civil war or canceling the 2028 election goes past the point of no return, we must get him and his entire cabinet out immediately. I call now for the assistance of any and all, state official or not, civil servant or not, in as many counties as possible, who will volunteer your time, printers, and vehicles, in order to send out ballots by hand to last year's voter information, and count them by hand. It'll be a herculean effort, but one that will pay off in spades. We can take charge when those with power refuse to. Be you a Republican, a Democrat, white, Latino, black, or anywhere in between, you are American, we are all American. Let's start acting like it. Let's get out and create our vote. We need our nation's beloved due process back, and that is only possible through widespread collaboration and cooperation. The left isn't exactly perfect, and the right certainly isn't either, but if we keep going down this path, if we don't act, there will be no left or right in America; there will only be billionaires, MAGA, and the people MAGA have yet to have killed, deported, or otherwise silenced or controlled. If we do not vote now, our voices may never be heard again in America depending on where we live, or even how melanized our skin happens to be. Let us, We, the People, change our country for the better for all, before Donald Trump, before MAGA, starts killing us with a government-backed civil war, or silencing our voices in 2028. Thank you all, let's vote.

The one reason to play by the rules is: if everyone ditches the rules, then chaos reigns.

With will and hard work, I think America can use its legal system to regain sanity and balance in government. And at that point, critical safeguards MUST be put in place to prevent the rise of a fascist/autocratic demagogue ever again.

Much depends on the midterms being held free, fair, counted accurately and verified to be so.

Only if that fails is there any reason to give up and turn to insurrection.

So, you want to create a Board of Elections like we already have?

Americans have choices.

Some choose to believe the lies and frauds perpetrated by Trump and his sycophants.

Some choose evidence, factual testimony, and Rule of Law.

We already have the tools. Speak truth to power, protest loudly, and vote.

This message really captures why I’ve supported MeidasTouch from the beginning. It’s not about one person versus another—it’s about all of us working together as a community to promote truth, transparency, and justice. The Murdochs may have their billions, but they can’t buy what the Meidas Mighty has: purpose, unity, community, love, hope, and remarkable talent. That combination is unstoppable—and it’s what makes this movement so special.

So, Fox is minitoring? Great! Hey Murdoch, you suck and your network is garbage. We’re killing you in the ratings and it’s only going to get better. You’re all nothing but a bunch of lying losers, especially Watters and Hannity.

I know, it’s juvenile, I’m just meeting them at their level.

Maybe, while monitoring they are hearing the truth of the matters regarding trump and this regime of evil. Maybe, while they are sleeping in their fancy beds on their fancy yachts their subconscious will let them know they are on the wrong path. They are on a path to destruction if they continue to support trump. He is a destroyer of all things beautiful, because his own soul is so ugly and crusted over with all his evil deeds. Release the Epstein files.

The Murdoch's can do whatever, but I won't become one of their customers. I watched them during the First Gulf War, since at the time they'd just let the military briefs run, while the other 24/7 networks turned away to fluff. But I haven't had a use for them since.

So facts don't matter to you anymore than hardcore MAGA. Congrats. I ran a precinct for decades, American Automobile Association. I don't need to read whatever hairbrained conspiracy crap you linked to. If you want to do something useful get your ass out in the streets this Saturday. I'd be there but I'm a bit busy in the ER with my husband right now.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband, I pray all goes well for him!

I would love to go to a protest!! However, all I can do is sit at my computer. I am 71, I have an adopted young son who is Brown. I have Parkingson's disorder, I can only walk a short distance with my walker. I had no idea how many problems you could have with Parkingson's! So, if you know someone with PD, be considerate! My Dr warned me about the shaking; he made it seem like no big deal. Whenever I had another symptom, I would call as he instructed, but no one ever called back! He suggested I go to a big city and find a specialist. He didn't actually treat anyone with PD, he treated mostly Cpac users, he was actually treating my sister for that. My primary took over my medication until I could get an appointment with a real PD Dr. It took 4 months! During that time, I found out I had urinary problems, yep part of PD. I also had bowel problems, mental health issues, Paranoia, memory problems, I could no longer drive myself, depression is one of my biggest problems, except the day I went to the hospital for tongue movements so severe, I couldn't eat, drink or sleep! While I waited in the lobby because there were no ER Drs, I lost touch with reality! I don't remember leaving the lobby, or being admitted, my daughter said I was there 5 days, I don't remember any of it, I was just mentally gone! My daughter says after 5 days I was transferred to a rehab center; I don't remember that either, that was over a year ago! What I have remembered was being in a wheelchair, moving in a hallway, it was like a dream! I realized at some point I was in bed. I kind of remember being woke up in the morning and taking meds with applesauce from a spoon. I seem to remember being woke up in a morning, being transferred to a wheelchair, and going down another hallway. I realized I was in a large room. someone asked me to stand up and take a few steps. Someone helped me to stand, but I was nauseous and threw up. I must have been taken back to my room, the next thing I remember was someone giving me more meds, I was in bed, someone brought me food, but I fell asleep. again, someone brought me food, but I fell asleep again. Everything still feels like it was a dream! The same thing happened for 3 or 4 more days! Someone asked me when I thought I might go home, they said I told them I didn't feel I would ever go home! Someone wrote it on a dry erase board on the wall. One day I just "woke up" in the morning, and it felt "real"! When I was ready to leave about a week and a half later, they told me that was the day they knew I would be able to go home one day! It still felt like a dream, but it got a little better every day. I learned to get into a wheelchair and wheel myself to the bathroom with an escort. I wasn't allowed to get out of bed without help for days! I finally learned how to use a walker, but I still had to call for help and an escort to the bathroom, and back to bed. Someone had been washing me up in bed and changing my clothes, into gowns. I believe it was 3 days before I went home, I was allowed to walk with mt walker to the bathroom with an escort to take s short shower and wash my hair sitting on a short stool. The next day I was able to get myself out of bed to my walker and take myself to the bathroom with someone standing outside the door. I was able to change my own clothes in bed after my shower, someone combed my hair for me. I don't remember what day I started eating any food. I remember food being there, but I don't remember eating much except water until the day before I went home.

I still can't remember the exact order how things happened! I'm getting really confused, I have o go to bed!

I hope everything turns out well for your husband!!
