Jennifer Lapaglia's avatar

Yesss. And the 2 "lynchings" that happened in Mississippi absolutely horrific

Stephen leach's avatar

Don't spread that crap about saying LYNCHINGS‼️ one black man, one white man. One has already been proven a suicide ‼️ THE OTHER ONE WAS SO HIGH ON DRUGS HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING ‼️ DROP YOUR F****** FEAR-MONGERING ‼️

For the record the deaths of both men, Trey Reed and Cory Zukatis (a homeless white man) are still under investigation.

omg_ilovedirt's avatar

Why are you yelling? And no...the "suicide" isn't adding up, they've requested another investigation

Steven Berko's avatar

Anyone who reads the elitist bs these brothers put out is a F’ing moron. These brothers, Meiselas & their organizations need to be thoroughly investigated, not for their speech but for directly supporting and inciting violence throughout this country.

Sorry mom or dad didnt hug you enough

James Wilson's avatar

We are sick and tired of this crap!! Normalcy and not having to hear from the President and their hostile treatment of anyone who doesn’t fawn over them. The President is supposed to make life easier better for as many people as possible. Instead it’s just him and his biggest donors.

Marian Goldsmith's avatar

Too true. This guy is just emulating his idea of a Holywood (not misspelled) gangland boss in his element despite his progressive deterioration, being held up (I mean supported) by a bevy of hand picked hoodlums and sycophants (maybe better spelled psychophants) who manage to keep him going while trying to hide or smooth over his worst impulses. Though what escapes is more than pretty bad.

If Central Casting is searching for someone to cover the role of

an Oaf, a Slob, or Lost Soul, he would have something to look

forward to.

You will be in the streets with your entire family....all your friends for the next NOKINGS demonstration then..right??? Being a"keyboard warrior" gets you only do far.

Marian Goldsmith's avatar

Oh yes. And taking pictures of the signs and good vibes echoed by my friends and neighbors. Great to celebrate the community spirit around here. Will it stop the sewer clowns (thanks for that one Jeff Teidrich) probably not. But it brings folks together to see and feel our numbers and build the energy and ficus needed to push back in whatever authentic ways work for each of us to hold and push them out of pea oh double you ee are we can without the violence maggots so readily embrace.

Marian Goldsmith's avatar

That was focus not a fig leaf. Why can’t I hit the right keys in thus tiny pad???

WJB Motown's avatar

All good....no worries......Studies have proven that protesting is good for your health.It is a win win win activity.....Also it was the huge anti-war protests that helped swing public opinion against the Vietnam War.

I will be out in the streets tomorrow with my flag......looking forward to it

Marian Goldsmith's avatar

Thanks for this.. Everything helps one's resolve.

This is why MTN is so vital. As you know corporate media is now a jet-stream of bullshit. MTN is becoming a base for word of mouth ......citizen action

Maybe to some--kind of the "middle of the road" (if there actually are any) republiCRAPS, but not the Dictator Criminal's fascists/lovers majority of them.

Irene Finn's avatar

What a joke, Bondi wants to go after people for hate speech? Start with her boss.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Start with Stephen Miller. His is classic hate speech. Trump at this point is just babbling incoherent nonsense. Hey media —how about some stories about HIS "cognitive decline"?

Linda's avatar

Everytime I see Miller I see him in a Nazi Uniform…..

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

He definitely exudes a Nazi vibe.

Barb O's avatar

The Alien and Sedition Act expired in 1800. It was found unconstitutional. Maybe she needs to take an American History class.

Irene Finn's avatar

These right wingers are challenged in science, math, civics, and now history. Hilarious, considering they want to eliminate the dept of education and cut school funding. They are the ones that most need it.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

You mean instead of an illegal bribe from Trump when she was AG of Florida?

Jackie Robare Fiese's avatar

And continue with her and all Cockwomble’s minions

Michael Grimes's avatar

WTF is a cockwombie? I know WHO it is, but not the definition of the word.

Jackie Robare Fiese's avatar

lol… Cockwomble is a person who spews nothing but bullshit out of their mouths. Real word, swear to God!!

Irene Finn's avatar

Bwahahahaha- I like that word! Describes Trump to a tee!!! I also like "kakistocracy". That is what we have now.

Vivian Fletcher's avatar

Yep...I said that already somewhere !!!

The assault on constitutional rights only applies when this administration can use it on people who don't agree. Look at Trump's behavior. He makes jokes when democrats get attacked, (Mr Pelosi) but is going to give Kirk the Congressional Medal of Freedom. He wants to just hate a certain group of people.

Jan 6th alone should've been a deal breaker for everyone. Throw in his felony convictions and that makes it worse. What kind of idiot would've still voted for him????

Jeanne's avatar

Thanks for fighting the good fight and for keeping us informed!

Cheryl Schaeffer's avatar

With you 100%, Ben. It feels like we have nothing to lose so might as well go all in to save our country. #MeidasMightyStrong

Tyronda's avatar

So he just decided on a flight across the pond , no official business. ,this is right up there with the outing on the wh roof

Richard Timko's avatar

I hope the Brits boo him out and boo him out but good. I can actually say a lot more but I am holding my tongue.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

I’m pretty sure the Brits have some choice words for him. They hate him as much as we do. 🤬

Nancy Lent Lanoue's avatar

As Joyce Vance says, “We’re in this together”.

Richard Waddell's avatar

She's one of substack's very best! And as a new book

coming out in October!!

Skitealwedrop's avatar

Thank you responding. Joyce Vance, I’ll remember her name. No relation to JD?

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

They'll have to work hard to outdo the brilliant Scots!

Skitealwedrop's avatar

I know. The Scots were brilliant and brutal to the conman. They made some hilarious signs. I wish I could remember where to find them.

TSmale's avatar

Apparently not all of them. What a performance the royals put on for him. Pathetic.

WJB Motown's avatar

The Brits have a "Depends carpet" wating for CanklesTacoTits

Marian Goldsmith's avatar

Oh they sure did. Evev the grey lady and other mainstream media covered it, with pictures yet. Which tells us it SELLS here too!

Skitealwedrop's avatar

Maybe the pedo will play golf.

Linda Heath's avatar

I think this is the King, bowing down to Trump. Trump said they are friends.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

The King is sucking up. You know the tariff thing.

Dan Beach's avatar

So well written, and relevant. As always, you condense the absurdities that are Donald Trump , and we can see what an insecure, uncurious, childish and unintelligent a man he is. Thanks, Meidas. So glad you are here.

Jillian's avatar

We left the US for a quick break from fascism and he followed us to the EU! We have to keep pushing back and your honest reporting helps us navigate through these tough times.

Susan Raquel's avatar

Wow, that really sucks. Hope you are able to stay and enjoy yourselves after he is gone.

Jillian's avatar

Oh yes - we’re not in England - but to wake up to news he was here was obnoxious!

Jay  Kinard's avatar

I’m seeing more of your posts being quoted by others recently. Congrats on getting to the top!

Leslie Goodman-Malamuth's avatar

MAGA are frantic to believe that a benevolent daddy is going to take care of them, and entertain them with bedtime stories instead of raping them. After MAGA returned Trump to power, he’s filling his pockets with our money and providing a merciless bare-bottom spanking to those who gave him their votes.

Aaron Roman's avatar

✊ glad to stand with you.

Ellen CW's avatar

I am as well! ✊

JMull's avatar

Thank you for your work to keep us informed!

Suze's avatar

Not a lawyer, pls don't deride this dumb question: re: trump, bondi, miller, vance vow to jail, prosecute people who direct hate speech toward trump, kirk, rven quoting them + 'left-leaning orgs'--could people sue trump et all retroactively, re right's hate speech toward assassinated Melissa Hortman, trump's hate speech toward Paul Pelosi, when he was almost murdered, their taking down Non Profits etc etc? Thanks!

My observations are that Charlie Kirk’s killer was apolitical. The Discord app for group text, video, and screen sharing and discussions is used by gamers, not for politics. In Discord over 6 years, Tyler Robinson, an avid gamer, used the word Trump once in 2019, and the word Biden once in 2020. That is it, people. I call that apolitical. His friends said he never talked politics. Only games. 

For political reasons, the Administration and the Republican Utah governor are trying very hard to paint Tyler Robinson into the left camp. The right needs that Reichstag Fire pivotal event, the root of their biases (plural). 

Tyler Robinson had a grudge against homophobic Charlie Kirk and Tyler could not resolve that. Evidently Tyler Robinson’s mother said he had moved left recently. I think first, slightly to the left of Nick Fuentes, then that his mother and the Utah governor conflate bisexuality with the left. Therein lies a problem. Many on the right are confused by God-given sexual orientations. Confused they indiscriminately throw out chum. Bloody chum in the water brings sharks. Frenzied sharks will bite anything. That is not violence. What they bite brings emotionally soothing food to them. 

There is a need for health social services to address those emotionally challenged individuals that strike out with gunshots. Instead of reaching out to help, some crazed individuals with megaphones torture them repeatedly with heteronormativity. Alex Jones. Charlie Kirk, et al. 

That is not politics, that is abuse. Yes. This is systemic abuse and societal failure. Those are both fixable. Some do not want to fix. They want to exploit it to make money. I am disgusted by those making a living by bellowing insults in this type of torture chamber.

Nancy Lent Lanoue's avatar

Size- good point. I have often asked on another Substack about “Can there be class action law suits against an entity whose lies have resulted in damage or death?”(Looking at you, 🦊).

Suze's avatar

Class-action law suits seem great idea. Safety in numbers, Mainstream media could not avoid covering.

Bluesmurf's avatar

Class action lawsuits would be great. First we have to get a lawyer to submit a "class" of us to get certified as a class that has been harmed. Then we can all sue under a class action lawsuit. That is how the 14th amendment crap got stopped nationwide. A judge certified a class of babies born and yet to be born as a class that would be harmed if birthright citizenship was eliminated. The harms that they would suffer were included in the request for certification.

We need a brave lawyer to put this together. Any takers out there?

Nancy Lent Lanoue's avatar

Thanks, Bluesmurf for amplifying this.

Suze's avatar

Poss for a law-literate person to email both Marc Elias + ACLU?

Nancy Lent Lanoue's avatar

Sorry, Suze. Slip of the finger. no edit cuz I don’t subscribe yet. (I think).

Minsc182's avatar

Meidas kept me sane for the last couple of years, if it wasn't for them I probably would've lost most if not all hope for a more positive future....

Rose Fritz's avatar

Listening to Meidastouch everyday is the only thing that keeps me sane and gives me some hope.

Thank you Ben for all you do. If you need any information from Michigan, let me know.
