May I suggest the YouTube channel of Jessica Denson? There are congressmen there who are filing articles of Impeachment plus other investigators who are 'in the know' about the criminal activities. And, if you are interested, consider getting involved in the movement to push back. There's Indivisible.org and VoteBlue.org who are organized. There's a No Kings Day protest scheduled for June 14th...and, it will be big.
Do you perchance know where I can get a list of protests scheduled in my area? Have tried to find one, unscuccessfully. Even last minute ones are possible for me as I am free most of the time. Kissimmee, Fl, if that helps. I can travel a bit.
Yes, go to Indivisible.org - they are really organized. Just type in your zip code. And, another organization is VoteBlue.org. Also, check out the YouTube channel of Jessica Denson. You'll find information about protests there. Good luck. And, thank you for asking.
I put out a daily substack post on News You Can Use that covers what is going on here, there and everywhere, plus health updates. I also have actionable empowerment links and suggestions for things anyone can do to take action - and the links to groups who schedule rallies and events - the places to boycott (boycotts work!) and more - it's free and will always be free - https://substack.com/@bluesmurf
Happy happy 40 to you. I So appreciate the Meidas touch. You guys rock and deliver the truth. Give us the facts. Unaltered and as far as sensationalization of all the facts are that on their own. Thank you for your hard work
You fucking think you are on the phone, and having a conversation with this assole, Wow way way too much time on social media. You people think this is a form of intimacy and personal expression? We are fucked
Biden is the past! We stand up and fight for justice in the present. 💪. Admin trying to sicken, kill, and bankrupt citizens and entire country- while they line their pockets, fake news and lie to misinformed citizens.
Totally agree . Their game is NOT working on us. No way. Shameful . Leave the man ALONE - Is this really the priority out of EVERY corrupt thing happening right now ? ! Grow up . Stop bowing to a false King corporate media.
No, the Biden "hate fest" is not a DISTRACTION technique. It's honest reporting. I thought that was important to this group.
Sure, "keep amplifying facts" about Trump. He and his gang of thugs are vile people. But that doesn't mean ignoring the fact that Biden is seriously cognitively impaired and has been for years, went back on his word about being a "bridge" President, and effectively handed Trump the Presidency.
It’s totally appropriate that the Democratic Party have this reckoning. I think it’s a huge mistake to try to paint this as nothing more than self-serving journalists when the true story is that Biden himself was incredibly self-serving. His egomania and the deception of those closest to him led directly to Donald Trump being re-elected.
The Democratic Party desperately needs a massive shakeup. Coming to terms with the Biden disaster is part of the process. As everyone involved in the Abundance agenda and the greater project to reimagine how to rebuild state capacity and industrial capacity and effective governance for the 21st century, Democrats have gotten in their own way with a thicket of regulatory policy and minoritarian power structures that serves only to thwart our intentions of building a green energy economy, of decoupling from the industrial base of countries who would love to see us hobbled, of building affordable housing and ensuring everyone can get great healthcare, and driving on quality roads and riding in high speed trains and flying safely.
Don’t poo poo the introspection. We need to radically change and so I say bring it on. If you aren’t upset with Biden then you are part of the cover up.
Eviscerate FOX. Deny them ad $ by denying the ad buying company CEO and execs bonuses. For example Home Depot. Boycott them for a full fiscal quarter. Get all on line influencers to post every day for the entire time. See how fast CEO’s stop buying ads - do only ONE brand - do it implacably for an entire quarter. See how quickly you become the new sheriff in town and how fast other CEO’s quit buying ads. See how fast FOX changes content. All they care about is $. Oh - and next generation FOX CEO will be a decent human being if you do this.
We need a lead organizer to coordinate every major pro democracy influencer to drive the message home every day.
We need someone like @Rick Wilson to contact CEO of HD to give him the option to back off before we start. Why? So we can get him fired without a Golden parachute if he says no up front. Make it a demonstration of power to the rest of industry.
We need someone to contact the Wall St analysts who follow HD and have them witness the power of this movement.
We need a content maker who can provide the compelling messages that the likes of @Lincoln Project does.
We need a web site that daily updates with the hate messaging on FOX. Not just the lies, the open disgraceful vituperation from the nastiest FOX content. And then tie that comment to HD. Also a map sorted by zip code of where to find HD competitors.
Drive it home implacably every single day for a full fiscal quarter then show the world what happens to companies that suborn hate via FOX.
Make it personal for the CEO and executives and it will work. Take the gloves off. Be as nasty as they are.
No drilling, mining, selling, any public land, national parks, arctic.
No fing parade, make bezos, Zuckerberg et al pay. They paid for inauguration, Easter egg roll. Bezos is giving Melania $40 m for a documentary. They can afford it. We the people can’t afford it. So, payable in advance, and any road repairs.
And no damn jet!
Call 202 225 3121 any member of the congress. 24/7. Share the number!
Fox is extremely vulnerable. Picket them. Make Fox lies the news item.
Smartmatic $2 billion case is still pending. In a shareholder's suit, New York City’s five pension funds and the State of Oregon, by and through the Oregon State Treasurer and the Oregon Department of Justice, on behalf of the Oregon Investment Council and the Oregon Public Employee Retirement Fund, against various directors and officers of Fox Corporation, the corporate parent of Fox News Network, LLC. Plaintiffs allege that Fox News’ leadership breached its fiduciary duties by adopting a business model that promoted or endorsed defamation by failing to establish systems or practices to minimize defamation risk despite the known risk of liability, including broadcasting false claims about election technology companies Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic USA.
Fox has outlets in every city. Challenge their licenses.
These notes about contacts and plans are good ideas, but is it advisable to put them on this substack for everyone to see? IF it were me I wouldn't do it. TMO! Hell, I'm in Canada and wish I could help. I hate the moron too.
Fox makes far more from affiliate fees they get from everyone who gets Basic cable or satellite. (3rd quarter 2024 these fees contributed $1.135 Billion to their total $1.636 Billion 3Q revenue) Fox advertisers temporarily stopped buying ads from Fox a few times over the years in response to comments made by various talking heads. While these events demonstrate that advertisers are somewhat sensitive to public perception of the network and its hosts, leading to periods where they pull their ads, and then quietly return a few weeks later. Which, while slightly lowering their quarterly income, has not changed the way they operate in the slightest. Glen Beck was their biggest star, Advertisers boycotted after viewers got angry over some things he said. Fox fired him and replaced him with Tucker Carlson, who became a bigger star. Advertisers boycotted him for his thinking he was bigger than the network. Fox fired him and brought in Jesse Watters, who gets even bigger ratings.
Now if there was a way to force cable and satellite companies to move to A-la-carte pricing, that would get rid of not only Fox but Newsmax and OANN. Along with Home Shopping and religious channels
Having full agreement with you this plan is the only viable way to get to FOX - and it’s an indirect strategy. As you point out if you don’t do it in a serious way you don’t get serious results.
Hence - a full fiscal quarter implacably pursued. No matter the response of the offending ad buyer stick to it. Involve Wall Street analysts. Demonstrate the power of American consumers. Do ALL the things including send buyers to HD competitors.
Wow that is interesting information!! We need more sharing of info like this. I live in Missouri where there is a fairly week Democratic Party, but there might be some folks in St. Louis which is heavily Democratic who could do something like this.
I am not from Missouri but I donated to Blue Missouri. MO voted against Hawley's position on abortion. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Applies to Missouri mules....
I agree. We all have power over what we buy and who we buy it from. Use that power to reduce support for this regime. And consider denying Facebook your activity. Families could make texting groups to share info and photos while skipping all the negative/hateful comments and propaganda.
It would great to see millions of people a week close their Facebook accounts. Not sure how much it would hurt Meta though. Of their over 3 billion active monthly accounts. 90% are outside the U.S. and Canada. On the other hand, we Americans seem to be the most active consumers in the world so maybe it would cause them enough pain to notice. We certainly have given Social Media companies their rise in wealth and influence.
Well said. The hard part of successful defeat of the right wing echo chamber is staying focused for a period of time. If we said “Here - a list of 100 ad buyers to boycott “ it just doesn’t work in implementation. Knowing that companies are really people, and those people running big companies expect massive paychecks via bonuses we can make it real personal real fast by focusing on ONE company and executive suite and denying them their bonuses. Every other ad buyers will follow suit the moment word gets out on results.
Thanks for the ideas....I just made a comment asking for specific ideas and here are some!!! I love the idea of getting online influencers to post something everyday for a full quarter. I have no idea how to do that..I am not sure what or who an online influencer is. I already "boycott" just about every place except Walmart as that is the only store near me, and even there I pretty much buy things I consider necessities like food and oil for my car. I just don't have much money to spend so it's not a big decision for me. But I have stopped buying anything from Amazon and I used to get a lot of stuff from them (well not a lot, but birthday presents and things Walmart doesn't carry).
There must be a list, or can people in the know develop one of the billionaires who are funding Trump or financially benefitting from his corruption. This list could be used in ways to broadcast their names/companies to the public such as erecting huge billboards beside busy highways. This should ruffle a few feathers. Something to think about.
Yes - the issue we face is that to change the narrative we must narrowly focus the energy of millions of people and establish a new rule. That rule is stop suborning hate and division by buying ads on hate filled media.
Things would become very interesting indeed if MTN could snag a legacy TV channel. A network that everyone with cable or satellite pays for, just like Fox. If MTN could do that they would IMO reach a far larger audience
That’s a remarkable thought. How do we put channels in a position to be acquired on favorable terms? Legal challenges. Revenue hits. Labor unrest. Reputation damage.
Popock once worked in merger and acquisitions. The Soros family has been acquiring FCC licenses. CBS Redstone is for sale. Comcast is spinning off MSNBC. Leveraged buy outs.
There is an FCC bar. Lawyers who know this stuff coming and going.
Many billionaires would love to be involved. How about the Gates and Bezos ex-wives club?
AI A leveraged buyout (LBO) involves a company acquiring another using a significant amount of borrowed money, often financed by the target company's assets. The process typically involves identifying a target, conducting due diligence, securing financing, negotiating the deal, and executing the acquisition. The buyer aims to improve the target's operations and eventually sell it for a profit.
Many speculators are dreaming....
E.G. Paramount-Skydance Merger (2024):
Shari Redstone's family sold their controlling interest in Paramount Global to independent film studio Skydance Media in a merger agreement, effectively ending the Redstone family's decades-long stewardship of Paramount. This merger resulted in a corporation valued at approximately $28 billion. Skydance is a diversified media company founded by David Ellison in 2010 to create high quality, event-level entertainment for global audiences.
Happy 40th!! I’ve got you beat by an extra 15 years🤪I’m ready and I got my gloves on and ready! Screw these dumb fks.. thank you so much for bringing Medias touch to us! Y’all are rocking it. Happy weekend everyone. I wonder what the drama will be today🙄
I'm with you on that 15 year head start. One thing that happens as we get older is we have fewer and fewer f***s to give. It's the beauty of getting wiser and not having time left in life to waste on anyone's BS. Quite liberating, really! Glad to see this kind of spirit and honest fury in a news leader. 💪
We are with you medias! The United States I know and believe in still has free speech. MAGA doesn’t get to own our flag. It’s our flag too. We are on the right side of history. Keep going. We the People are behind everyone at Medias
Even if Biden was going through any sort of health issues, he picked competent people not people from Fox News and his reality show. No one from his administration cosplayed as ICE agents. He didn’t go out and sign hundreds of executive orders, he got legislation passed. He didn’t profit off the presidency like Trump is. Biden was never convicted of crimes or rape. The media’s refusal to cover half of what Trump is doing right now is such a dereliction of duty.
Biden was a master technician of running a government. He knew every lever. His hiring choices were mostly excellent. The macro economic numbers don't lie. A manager is only as good as the team he chooses.
Biden's worst trait was his failure to brag about his accomplishments and his refusal to set a team of communicators to do the messaging for him, especially with an opponent whose "talents" are the opposite.
The cost to us? Chaos. 248 years of a representative republic. Lots of Treasury money.
We are with you!! I wanted to call corporate media and scream at them about the dumbshit Biden stuff! Ffs we are in a fight for democracy from a dictator and thug corrupt administration & they are focusing on Biden??? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
It's a distraction so we will take our eye off the balls - Tariffs - illegal deportations - illegal Executive Orders - and the big one, the new budget. Keep your eye on these balls and pay no attention to the click bait meant to keep us busy playing on our phones instead of POUNDING ON CONGRESS!
Wow!! I didn't realize all this Biden stuff was going on because I ONLY watch Meidas and Parnas and a host of others. Mainstream media makes me ILL that I just can't bring myself to watch it! I am with YOU!! This will pass...the Biden hate fest. It will pass and we will still be here, fighting the GOOD fight!
I’ve heard all about the Biden nonsense on here, because I’m with you on msm. Last week I decided to see just how bad it had gotten (msm not Biden) so I turned on CNN for 5-10 minutes max and nearly puked 🤢
Nothing can change the fact Biden is a good person in my mind and the things he did to make our lives better. NOTHING! We all know the truth. Biden knows the truth. Wasted time on what they are saying is time we need to fight. Focus on moving forward and staying together. I had a ex husband that deflected everything to take the focus off of him and the fires he was setting constantly. Just like the orange turd. Please, keep fighting we can do this together. I love you all.
If in August 2025 the Moody Bank is not financially flooded by rates also Federal Reserve Bank must stop Trumps dept ceiling by his credit bitcoin currency for the Congress 2.9 billion dollar bond is fraud about Saudi Arabia golden air jet from Qatar and Trumps children Jared Kushner give America the middle finger they have no shame to the American people or Government this family is a shit of crappie trash garbage
You’re stuck with me, Ben. My subscription will automatically renew in a few days. It’s certainly well worth the cost. Thank you, Ben, Brett, and Jordy. Forward without fear.
Truth, Ben. Absolute truth. This Biden hate fest is a DISTRACTION technique. Keep amplifying facts about Trump's lawbreaking and grifting. Go, Meidas!

Even if Biden was going through any sort of health issues, he picked competent people not people from Fox News and his reality show. No one from his administration cosplayed as ICE agents. He didn’t go out and sign hundreds of executive orders, he got legislation passed. He didn’t profit off the presidency like Trump is. Biden was never convicted of crimes or rape. The media’s refusal to cover half of what Trump is doing right now is such a dereliction of duty.
Biden was a master technician of running a government. He knew every lever. His hiring choices were mostly excellent. The macro economic numbers don't lie. A manager is only as good as the team he chooses.
Biden's worst trait was his failure to brag about his accomplishments and his refusal to set a team of communicators to do the messaging for him, especially with an opponent whose "talents" are the opposite.
The cost to us? Chaos. 248 years of a representative republic. Lots of Treasury money.
We are with you!! I wanted to call corporate media and scream at them about the dumbshit Biden stuff! Ffs we are in a fight for democracy from a dictator and thug corrupt administration & they are focusing on Biden??? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
It's a distraction so we will take our eye off the balls - Tariffs - illegal deportations - illegal Executive Orders - and the big one, the new budget. Keep your eye on these balls and pay no attention to the click bait meant to keep us busy playing on our phones instead of POUNDING ON CONGRESS!
Agreed 💯! Been saying this for weeks now….
I haven't called, but have left comments on some of their web pages/contact forms.
Wow!! I didn't realize all this Biden stuff was going on because I ONLY watch Meidas and Parnas and a host of others. Mainstream media makes me ILL that I just can't bring myself to watch it! I am with YOU!! This will pass...the Biden hate fest. It will pass and we will still be here, fighting the GOOD fight!
I’ve heard all about the Biden nonsense on here, because I’m with you on msm. Last week I decided to see just how bad it had gotten (msm not Biden) so I turned on CNN for 5-10 minutes max and nearly puked 🤢
Nothing can change the fact Biden is a good person in my mind and the things he did to make our lives better. NOTHING! We all know the truth. Biden knows the truth. Wasted time on what they are saying is time we need to fight. Focus on moving forward and staying together. I had a ex husband that deflected everything to take the focus off of him and the fires he was setting constantly. Just like the orange turd. Please, keep fighting we can do this together. I love you all.
I’m with you! And happy birthday!
If in August 2025 the Moody Bank is not financially flooded by rates also Federal Reserve Bank must stop Trumps dept ceiling by his credit bitcoin currency for the Congress 2.9 billion dollar bond is fraud about Saudi Arabia golden air jet from Qatar and Trumps children Jared Kushner give America the middle finger they have no shame to the American people or Government this family is a shit of crappie trash garbage
We give them two back!

What would it take to buy it?
Gillions - and an FCC license comes with an extortion clause to eliminate all DEI initiatives.

I would rather tell him to his ugly orange face.
