IMPORTANT Sunday Message from Meidas Founder!!

By Ben Meiselas

We made history yesterday. It was the biggest mass protest in the history of the United States. I attended the Pasadena No Kings Protest and met so many amazing people. Thanks for stopping by and saying hi to me. It was so great meeting you all. Thanks to everyone who attended protests at one of the 2,500 events in the United States and throughout the world.

Yesterday was one of those days where I hope you felt that the MeidasTouch Network met the moment. We exclusively led the live YouTube stream of the events for Indivisible, MoveOn, and 50501, which was viewed around 1 million times on YouTube. Our other No Kings coverage received around 5 million views in total on YouTube in one day. We led all networks in views and coverage of No Kings.

This isn’t an accident or happenstance. We’ve made it our biggest priority since day one to amplify the work of community organizers and grassroots groups fighting for democracy.

When no one would cover the protests—and when they suppressed the coverage—we went all in and made it our biggest priority. It was great to see so many people on the livestream today watching the protests.

Another note worth mentioning here: The MeidasTouch Network’s reporting earlier this week about the I-5 being shut down because Trump was having the Navy and Marines shoot live munitions over the highway in Camp Pendleton proved to be 100 percent accurate.

We caught some “friendly fire” (pun intended) from those who doubted our reporting for whatever reason and assumed Trump was telling the truth when he denied it. We were spot-on and will continue to do our work to warn and keep people apprised.

I believe it was because of our reporting earlier in the week that we exposed Trump’s attempt to blame California for the highway shutdowns and to cause chaos.

Trump was totally unhinged last night after he found out how big the No Kings Protests were. He was posting weird AI videos of himself wearing crowns. Then he posted an AI video of himself flying a fighter jet and defecating on peaceful protestors at the No Kings protest in Manhattan. Yeah, that was not a typo. He posted a video of himself dropping feces on the faces of peaceful protestors. As I’ve said before, I think I have a good sense of humor, but there is absolutely nothing funny about the President of the United States engaging in this behavior—especially with what most Americans are enduring right now. I suppose posting a video of himself shitting on America sums up the state of the country now.

Yesterday showed that Trump can never take away our joy, our sense of community, our empathy, and our love. He can try to demoralize us and make us feel helpless, but he will never succeed as long as we stand up for the Constitution and for each other. This has not been an easy nine months. But here we stand—loud and proud—and the resistance is growing stronger than ever. Thank you for all you do. You are the true heroes.
