A president who jails authors, attacks media, and bullies truth-tellers isn’t defending America—he’s dismantling it, one silenced citizen at a time. I was the first, but sadly, I will not be the last!
I just want the constitution in force and the crime of using it as toilet paper which what trump is doing charged. Is it still a firing squad offense? I don’t know but it sounds good,
Put him in a federal pen in NY or CA, places that he would hate to be in. I am totally against imprisioning an American in a foreign country. We keep them in our own prisons.
Same thing happened to me. Sudden paranoid thought: it could be what's his name "Blue Balls" or something to that effect? I hope that it is merely annoying SPAM clutter.
This whole thing is horrific! When you think it can’t possibly get worse, it does! I’m Canadian and I fear for the future of the entire world, not just our friends in the USA! Please! Only your citizens can fix this mess!😱
Too many Americans don't give a damn about the First Amendment. They are only interested in hurting the people they hate. By the time they wake up, if they ever do, it will be too little, too late.
MTN Country doesn’t take a back seat to anyone or any entity. What I can see is a full-out mutiny across the board in our military and law enforcement. All it’s going to take is a loved one relegated to the lowest of the low, injured and rendered completely destroyed to the point of full disability. Waiting for someon(s) in his security detail to SNAP! When it happens, it’ll make “Going Postal) from several years back look like a picnic. 💙🏆💙
My husband was a veteran and he hated Trump. I think too many veterans are totally pissed off and it won't take much to set the powder keg to blow. When that happens, I will help with whatever I can.
It's time to march! If you can't march, sit in. Or lie down and hold your cardboard tombstone high. Shitler could declare Martial Law tomorrow and then it's too late. If not us, who? If not now, when? At least call your Senators and Representatives. 5 Calls (https://5calls.org) even gives a script and explains the issues and gives the phone number. Could it be easier?
Unless you are one of the unfortunate people who live in places like Florida where I hear all their officials are hand picked by Shitler. These are the die for Trumpers.
If people in the south could put their bodies and lives on the line for civil rights then we can do this. People died getting those rights and now Trump and the entire GOP want to take it all away. They back down when we don't.
Thanks, Kate. Yes, I did that. Submitted it. Got a request to submit it again. Clicked on that button and nothing happened. Clicked again. Nothing.
Again. Nothing. Couldn't even get out of that page. Had to close the whole thing down and reaccess the site/platform! Maybe it worked for you? Wouldn't for me. That's never happened to me before.
People will not learn their lessons when supporting Trump. He can unleash anger like no president before him, but that is it. So we have a pissed off white male running the country. What else is new?
The Trump Administration is a dictatorship not a presidency. If you disagree with the president's lies then you go to jail. If you tell the truth then it's criminal. Trump is also trying to get rid of the rule of law.
It's past time to impeach Trump again and take him out of power permanently!
It's an embarrassment to be an American right now. We have NO President.
I've been embarrassed and ashamed to be an American for a long time. Trump is the inevitable culmination of American madness, ignorance, stupidity, hatred, racism, sexism, homophobia, and xenophobia. If I had the money to leave I'd be gone, but I'm too old and too poor and am stuck here living out my last years under a fascist regime.
I'm not embarrassed nor ashamed to be an American. I'm proud of it. I'm embarrassed and ashamed of our leaders. There are so many in this administration. tRump is not doing this all by himself. There are many to share the blame with him. Our senate that refuses to do what they were elected to do, the Justice Department that does not uphold our Constitution, the goonies that put our country at risk, and the newcasters that spread the lies. Yes, they are under tRump, but will they be a VOICE OF ANYTHING THAT IS NOT A LIE? No they won't because they are tRump wantabes. We have to turn this country around. Teach it to know that it is okay to tell the truth and that lies are not the norm. Lies hurt everyone. It's so sad that our country has become the laughing stock of the whole world. I'm proud to be an American. I know the difference between right and wrong, I have values. I respect our Constitution and want our Democracy. Why do you think the other countries don't want our so-called "important" people to visit them? They are tired of the lies. They know that this isn't normal. They don't respect them. But they know that all Americans are not like that. They know that these people are the "bad apples" in the barrel. They understand that we are suffering because of these "bad apples." We will honor our Constitution, even if, those in power, refuse to do so. We will fight the "bad apples" and we will win. American is too great of a country to fail to do so.
Several commenters calling themselves to old and tired to fight. At two recent protests noted prevalence of my peers: I’m 77. Just being counted counts.
And maybe do some teaching within your own family to push your kids and grandkids into the fray. Write to your local paper and your representatives. Action can stir up hope. Love.
I'm not at all surprised. This has been coming for a long time. The Right has been panting to undo the New Deal since at least 1945, and really since FDR's election in 1932. This country is full of mindless assholes who love the idea of being told what to think and inflicting pain on those they hate.
You’re never too old to fight…join some of the rallies…bring a lawn chair to sit..you count…this is our country and it’s worth fighting for your home…Trump won’t last something will happen….Praying for more rallies to let him know we don’t approve of him!!!
Heather B I'm proud to be American. We did not elect Russian insurgent krasnov/Trump, paid for with dark money from his oligarch friends! Insurgent krasnov/Trump is not an elected official. He doesn't really have any power over us legally. This is J6 part 2. Our military has the obligation to step in and remove him.
They won't. America elected him TWICE and mostly by sitting home and not voting. Democracy is participatory. Use it or lose it. We're in the lose it phase.
I know about this and yes, they interfered in both elections to a huge degree as they have done in Canada and every other western country. The west has been propagandized to a point they are tearing each other apart as planned. People STILL voted for him.They are in a cult and that's what they did.
I believe Musk was behind Trump winning this time..I believe this election was really rigged…I and other’s rallies won’t give in to this joke of a President…
I'm a dual citizen of both countries living in Ontario and I'm exhausted fighting on two fronts. All I can hope and push for is shutting down this monstrosity of a far right cult in this country.
Please vote this week and do it in such a way as to prevent Temu Trump from winning if you possibly can because Poilievre and Trump together will be an even worse nightmare.
I've already voted in the Advanced Polls (which set records in terms of numbers of voters, apparently), but if you missed your chance to vote this past weekend, please make sure that you vote on the 28th. It is an incredibly important election; they are all important, but this one even more so than usual.
I already voted and I hope this huge turnout does not mean it's for Poilievre but, nothing surprises me anymore. The guy in front of me said he was "voting for the Green Party and hopes the Cons will be held to a minority." All I could think was "Ok, white male friend but, you know a ton of people are FAR more at risk than. you are." We just cannot throw our votes to the wind like that this time or maybe not the next either. Hearing him talk scared me. Do Canadians really get how critical this situation is? I hope so. If you are Canadian please VOTE in such a way as to utterly shut down this current far, far right wing rise in this country.
Yeah Michael is right, here again are our rights under the First Amendment that the government must not stomp on:
👇🏼. 👇🏼. 👇🏼
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Linda- I remember during Black Lives Matter protests Florida passed a law if you block the roadway during a protest it is a felony. Plus if a car hits you, the driver is not liable. DeSantis passed that.
DeSantis. The one with the "furries" meme as in "perverts dressing up in animal costumes and touching our children" at Disney World? Like Mickey Mouse and Chewbacca?? Where do the Rabid Reds come up with this stuff? We heard that blocking-the-road felony crap out here in Denver--the immediate reaction was for a huge crowd of blacks, whites, and Hispanics to march out onto I-25 and block everything across four lanes. It also closed the southbound lanes so the entire interstate screeched to a halt for hours. Didn't hear much about it after that. lol
Just imagine the outrage if Trump dared to abridge the right of people to use their fucking AR-15s. He wouldn't last two seconds before he was thrown out on the front lawn naked and in chains. Our country is profoundly screwed up.
I'm with you it I've known for a long time where this is going and I didn't even read project 2025. This is going fast and we need to act now. Our protests are going to be infiltrated. We need to be ready
Impeach? He was never elected by us. Insurgent Trump was bought and paid for by his oligarchy friends. He works for putin as one of his secret KGB spies. Bought by oligarchs before J6, couldn't win after that bc he's a 34 count felon. Ran again illegally, and Insurgent Trump was bought again by oligarchs to finish J6 part 2. He's a Traitor. Tyrant. Terrorist. He's lied to all of us about his fake presidency! Our military has an obligation to remove him.
That might work in Europe right now as well. Have you been watching the coverage about Ukraine? I just about had a heart attacks today. Michael's letter couldn't have come at a better time. Pile it on, Michael.
Kristin, write a post card to each Congress member! Get the list of current members of Congress off the internet, print, address the cards and put stamps on them if postage is not reprinted on them. Flip, Kindly and succinctly tell them what YOU want. IF EVERYONE ABLE DID THIS, the impact would be huge. Anywhere from 200 to 2 million cards landing in their desk at once, Makes a Real Impact!
Angie, And you think you know something we dont? Seriously, WE DID NOT ELECT "FAKE PRESIDENT" TRUMP
He was bought and paid for by his oligarchy friends both times. He is Insurgent Trump. Dark money paid to get him "elected". Creeps with cash put him in office. In 1980's he belonged to putin! He was one of Putins secret KGB spies! Putin enlisted him to spy on America's people and places, probably documents too. Google trumps Russian spy name. KRASNOV. "RED" (ORANGE)! Most American people are most stupid or that gullible especially after J6 insurrection to start his wannabe dictatorship.
Now that we have recovered from the extraordinary fact that our elected representatives will not be, for the most part, leading us out of this crisis, we are gathering in stratigic ways, whether through protests, Tesla takedowns, the courts, calls, e-mails and mock town halls, and we are having an impact.
Please, please, please do a hot take on the new student loans being turned over to collections starting in May under the Trump regime! This will hurt millions of Americans.
And the Supreme Court is of no use because they have no enforcement mechanism. It is up to the citizens to wield the power. Civics 101. Democracy dies with us when the Executive branch doesn’t faithfully execute the laws.
You’re right. I am sad to say. He needs to be impeached and thrown in jail in Nicaragua
Trump, Vance, Musk, Trump's Cabinet, GOPs, J6s, are the ones who should be incarcerated in El Salvador.
FACT
We should be more alarmed than we seem to be. Thank You for summing it up so succinctly. We should all applaud Harvard for standing it's ground
Better yet he and his regime needs to go to one of the brand new five homes that are being built in El Salvador. One has their name on it
I just want the constitution in force and the crime of using it as toilet paper which what trump is doing charged. Is it still a firing squad offense? I don’t know but it sounds good,
Yes!, Yes!, Yes!
Put him in a federal pen in NY or CA, places that he would hate to be in. I am totally against imprisioning an American in a foreign country. We keep them in our own prisons.
So you want taxpayers to pay for his meals and upkeep for the rest of life?
The penalty for attempting to become a dictator of the US should be DEATH, I would think
They need to all be thrown in a bunker with cyanide tablets and pistols where they can't "check out"
You kidding us?
I reported the "Meida+" yesterday as an obvious scam. I received one as a reply that was identical in message and typeface.
Very difficult to read too.
Same thing happened to me. Sudden paranoid thought: it could be what's his name "Blue Balls" or something to that effect? I hope that it is merely annoying SPAM clutter.
This needs to be NYT opinion
PLEASE SUBMIT IT, MICHAEL!
WHAT IS THIS ABOUT. I SEE IT EVERYWHERE
spam
Its a bogus Meidas+ and a scam.
This whole thing is horrific! When you think it can’t possibly get worse, it does! I’m Canadian and I fear for the future of the entire world, not just our friends in the USA! Please! Only your citizens can fix this mess!😱
Too many Americans don't give a damn about the First Amendment. They are only interested in hurting the people they hate. By the time they wake up, if they ever do, it will be too little, too late.
Disagree. As the Resistance grows and expands, it contradicts your statement.
I hope that your optimism is warranted.
Stick around MTN and the Meidas Mighty and yours will be too.
This is when the Resistance kicks it up and stands against this crap otherwise I can see us having a bloody summer.
MTN Country doesn’t take a back seat to anyone or any entity. What I can see is a full-out mutiny across the board in our military and law enforcement. All it’s going to take is a loved one relegated to the lowest of the low, injured and rendered completely destroyed to the point of full disability. Waiting for someon(s) in his security detail to SNAP! When it happens, it’ll make “Going Postal) from several years back look like a picnic. 💙🏆💙
My husband was a veteran and he hated Trump. I think too many veterans are totally pissed off and it won't take much to set the powder keg to blow. When that happens, I will help with whatever I can.
Keep me posted!!!!
I disagree.

Is this SPAM? Or a SCAM?
It is spam. Report it. Click on the three dots on the far right lined up with the name to report it.
Thanks, Kate. Yes, I did that. Submitted it. Got a request to submit it again. Clicked on that button and nothing happened. Clicked again. Nothing.
Again. Nothing. Couldn't even get out of that page. Had to close the whole thing down and reaccess the site/platform! Maybe it worked for you? Wouldn't for me. That's never happened to me before.
Don't worry - did it for you when you mentioned your problem of accessing the 'Report' page.
I am not high tech but it worked for me. Maybe it got overloaded with people reporting it?
Same thing has happened to me when reporting spam. It just freezes and won't let me report so I block the person instead
Scam
People will not learn their lessons when supporting Trump. He can unleash anger like no president before him, but that is it. So we have a pissed off white male running the country. What else is new?

Hey Trump: Try to ban these kinds of shirts 👇

Impeach, convict, remove and Indict.

Damn it, I'm 75 and have been fighting for social justice since I was fifteen years old! I'm exhausted and poor and just can't do it any longer.
I will be 75 this year and I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t try but that’s your prerogative….
I will still do what I can. I'm just bone weary.
Yup same here

Horrendous JUST SCRATCHES THE SURFACE DON'T KNOW WHAT A MORE POWERFUL WORD THERE IS BUT this is for real and people voted it in..
MY ENTIRE FAMILY AND EXTENDED FAMILY ALL VOTED FOR THIS I WARNED THEM AND WARNED THEM.
I STAND ALONE.!!!
Nothing new there.. thank God I rebelled 40 years ago cuz I don't recognize them.
Thank you my Canadian friend.
PUT ME IN COACH.. I'M READY!!

Freedom of Assembly is so important.
May 1st is the next Protect Democracy Day
I hope to see all of you participate like I will be.
I WISH they would book another nationwide Tesla Protest, I really enjoyed that one about a month or so ago.
I will be participating too, olderwoman. Bringing my sign and a little folding chair. Gonna shout these bullies down!
Make it happen.
Someone suggested a march blocking his access to either Doral or Bedminster golf courses. That would get his knickers in a twist!.
Linda- I remember during Black Lives Matter protests Florida passed a law if you block the roadway during a protest it is a felony. Plus if a car hits you, the driver is not liable. DeSantis passed that.

Weird how they have a forum name of Meidas+
I wonder if Meidas got hacked or something?
And they must be using that odd font to avoid detection.
Do Report
Could Musk be behind this?
This needs to be published in ALL Newspapers across the Country. Powerful and necessary for all to hear . Thank you for this Michael Cohen.
These are not the words of an alarmist.....this is someone who knows firsthand exactly where Donald Trump is headed.
I'm with you it I've known for a long time where this is going and I didn't even read project 2025. This is going fast and we need to act now. Our protests are going to be infiltrated. We need to be ready
MAY DAY I SAY
IMPEACH TRUMP AND SEND "HIM" TO CECOT!!!!
Impeach? He was never elected by us. Insurgent Trump was bought and paid for by his oligarchy friends. He works for putin as one of his secret KGB spies. Bought by oligarchs before J6, couldn't win after that bc he's a 34 count felon. Ran again illegally, and Insurgent Trump was bought again by oligarchs to finish J6 part 2. He's a Traitor. Tyrant.

Most American people are NOT stupid or gullible.
Well...
Impeaches not strong enough at all. It doesn't touch the surface
Unfortunately, we probably couldn't pay them enough to take him. It'll give me sweet satisfaction to imagine it, though!
Can we start a go-fund me? LOL
That might work in Europe right now as well. Have you been watching the coverage about Ukraine? I just about had a heart attacks today. Michael's letter couldn't have come at a better time. Pile it on, Michael.
Lol.

POWERFUL
I’m so so sorry that you had to go through that nightmare! Thank you for continuing to speak your truth.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That was poerful!!!
And the Supreme Court is of no use because they have no enforcement mechanism. It is up to the citizens to wield the power. Civics 101. Democracy dies with us when the Executive branch doesn’t faithfully execute the laws.
