Receipts become resistance.

Ben, message received. From January to Labor Day the Mighty turned lonely outrage into infrastructure — replacing corporate news, streaming what others bury, and putting victims at the center. That’s momentum you can measure.

Two plays we can run today:

1. Fuel the signal — restack this, add one line on why, drop a timestamp when a clip slaps, and leave a 5-star on the pod so the algorithm has no excuse.

2. Feed the newsroom — verified tips, short phone videos, docs. Turn “I heard” into dates and names.

If you’ve got budget, flip to paid or gift one before the weekend. Set alerts for the victims’ presser next week — biggest platform possible. The feeds may bury; the Mighty will carry. www.xplisset.com

Block the road now. Too much is at risk to wait! Mobilize Blue state National Guards when threatened. Wait until then. The invasion of one state by another is a call to state Governors to mobilize their National Guards to resist an UNLAWFUL assault. The U.S. military should not accept UNLAWFUL orders. The sooner we get this over with, the better. This confrontation is coming. It is coming! We are stronger now than we will be tomorrow. The confrontation is not a battle or a war. It is a standoff at State borders. One state would be trying to invade another. One is the offender. The other, the defender. We know TACO.

Also, the gerrymander fight is on. There is a new playbook. The old rules have been struck down by the Supreme Court. We need to change the gears here as fast as possible for deadly PREEMPTIVE strikes. Newsom has moved out on this already. Who is next? Hochul. Where are you? NO EXCUSE! Change your state Constitution. Pritzker. What are you doing?

The resistance is strong and we saw that in Iowa and in the few town halls that these MAGAt congress members are holding and unlike corporate news we can see it unfiltered from Meidas.

More protests and rallies will make Trump SAD and help us win the hearts and minds of those who have been hurt by this deranged lunatic.

Since Jan I have a sign by my mailbox right out front that says, “When injustice becomes law, Resistance becomes duty.” How’s that for a Meidas Mighty? Many people compliment my sign, no one has said anything negative about it and did I mention the amazing RBG’s pic is on the sign.

May I use this? I would like to make a board displaying all the republicans who have been charged in sexual criminality since the Guardians Of Pedophiles isn't addressing them. Nor are any being televised. My life partner is hesitant on that, but he didn't say no to hanging our flag inverted.

I had 1 flag hanging inverted on my mailbox. Two days later, my mailbox was actually cut from it's posts, and the flags were destroyed. Today, the mailbox is back up with steel reinforced posts, there are 2 inverted flags, and I've hung two more inverted flags on on my house numbered display pole. Keep it up MAGGOTS and I'll come back stronger EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.!

Google Artificial Intelligence says: The quote "When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty" is misattributed to Thomas Jefferson; it does not appear in his writings, though the sentiment aligns with the ideas expressed in the Declaration of Independence. The phrase is a powerful call to action against oppressive or unfair legal systems, suggesting that citizens have a moral obligation to oppose laws that promote injustice. A similar, also misattributed, quote by Jefferson is "When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty".

Attribution and Origin

Misattributed:

The Monticello website confirms the quote is a spurious one and not found in Jefferson's actual writings.

Origin:

The statement's origins are unclear, but it gained traction in the early 21st century, becoming popular on social media and in broader discourse.

Meaning

Moral Duty:.The quote suggests that citizens have a moral responsibility to resist laws that are fundamentally unjust.

Resistance to Tyranny:

It implies that when government or legal systems become oppressive, the only course of action left for the people is to resist, making it their duty.

Historical Context and Jefferson's Ideas

Declaration of Independence:

The sentiment of the quote can be found in the Declaration of Independence, which states that "when a long train of abuses and usurpations... it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government".

Why on earth would you ask Google AI a question in order to find a reliable answer? Boycott AI until it's reliable and their "privacy" policy no longer steals every keystroke you make and all your data without your permission.

If you don't know why I say that, read Gary Marcus' book "Taming Silicon Valley" and Karen Hao's "Empire of AI" and spread the word.

I stopped using Google search a long time ago because they sell and share your search data. Instead I search with duckduckgo.com because they neither sell nor share your search or personal data. Duckduckgo recently started to produce AI results too, but I was able to customize my Firefox browser settings to only show AI as an option, with the usual list of links that pre-AI LLM (Large Language Model) searches produced.

You can also turn off ALL AI results, which I didn't do because I like to compare the accuracy of the LLM results with traditional results ... and *occasionally* (only happened once) the AI result was faster and accurate. The point is, never, never, never take AI or the various generative LLM responses (i.e., ChatGPT, Grok, etc.) as accurate without first checking them against a trusted data source.

It could have been from someone's speech, but apparently not a direct quote from Thomas Jefferson.

Americans want their friends back, too. Aligning with Putin never brings a good outcome. We will resist will all our might. We miss our Canadian friends, too.

tRUMP has a problem going to sleep. He has a problem staying asleep. He can not get any rest. He wakes up and rage tweets. He will run down. He will get even sicker as time goes on. Keep up the good work.

Excellent you're covering the survivors of Epstink & Grizzlane. This story can never ever end. Their pain needs to be front & center & that orange pig needs to be haunted by it at every turn. I'm so blown away at what you're doing. Proud to be a part. And as someone w/family overseas I'd like to see them again w/out ending up in a detention center.

Absolutely. I'll never understand why women are always framed as seductresses, willing or actually initiated. These were girls. Nobody mentioned how when the police raided his mansion the walls were lined with naked teen girl pix. Because all innocent people have that same decor.

Love the optimism, Ben. There is a protest on Labor Day that I’m attending - Workers Over Billionaires. It’s supposed to be Nationwide.

I hope more high-profile Dems come out loud and in-their-face clear like AOC, Crockett, Bernie, Pritzker, Newsom, Warren. In their face every day.

A major concern of mine is that we won’t have free and FAIR elections in 2026.

Thanks for all Meidas does to keep us informed. Good luck in Canada.
