I’m with you on that Jan…as we’re All Resistance Fighters…and if the Meidas Network seeks refuge, we can accommodate you in a Secure Broadcasting Venue here in Canada…perhaps in British Columbia (just up the Left Coast)…protected by our RCMP…however we could equally rent a Pirate Ship for Meidas stationed within our Sovereign Waters…your wish is our command…The True North Strong and Free!!

You are Our Brothers in Arms…because the Trump Regime wants our WATER…much more than they want our Minerals and Energy. This the Prime Directive of the thirst to acquire us as the 51st State…it’s rarely spoken of…so keep this on your Radar Screens…due to Global Warming and Drought…and perhaps research this on our behalf!!??

Best from Canada!!

You have support here! What doesn't make sense is tat tFrumpy beats up on the LGBTQ citizens and yet Bissent is way, Peter Thiel is way and some others that he sides with and yet they say NOTHING about those people!! Seems like his dementia is setting in faster. Stay safe!! 👍.

Yes we are ALL in this together and will fight for our freedoms together as one! The transgender movement is also very significant during this time because it hinges on ownership over the identity of being human. We will save democracy throughout the World.

I think they realize (don’t publicly admit it - but realize it) that they do not have the broad public’s support. All the polling shows that. So thank you for your leadership in the resistance. And to everyone else, please go to No King’s Day October 18 and sign up. We need a huge turnout. That will send a critical message to Trump and Stephen Miller, Pam Bondi and his whole Administration! We must continue the resistance.

We need at least 11 to 12 million people to turn out on No Kings Day on Saturday, October 18. Numbers like these will send a message to the Trump regime that it’s time for them to get out of town — now.

Here here. I go to No Kings protests here in Canada. It's BEYOND horrifying to watch the USA fall because of sooo much ignorance from people who have no idea what's going on in their OWN COUNTRY. I will continue to DO MORE THAN MY PART... because right about NOW EVERYYONE needs to do WAY MORE THAN THEIR PART to save the USA... to LITERALLY SAVE it. This is beyond frightening. THANKS MEIDAS !!!!! And gifting this substack is an amazing way to FIGHT FOR YOUR & YOUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE. ~ Love from Canada.

Thank you so much for keeping up with what is happening here. The support of Canadians, especially, is uplifting. I hope you all are strengthening Canada and getting good lessons on what to do to protect your independence. More people are aware here of what is happening than even a month ago.

It shouldn’t shock me how many ignorant people that believe Trump and voted for him but it does!!

They are too lazy to realize what is going on and just ignorant and racist.

They get their news from the entertainment network fcx.

That’s what I am so afraid of. Expect it, dread it. What can we do then?

Expand full comment
R Cyclone's avatar

As long as protests remain peaceful, and the “Indivisible protest” are well organized and always peaceful, there is no legal basis for martial law. Authoritarians rely on fear. They win when people self restrict. They win when the media or law firms fold. They win when people fear to peacefully protest. Don’t let them win. The peaceful protests are energizing to be in.. you see your neighbors and you realize how much opposition there is. Cars drive by and honk support. It is your constitutional right to peacefully protest.

He doesn’t give a hoot about peaceful protests. He sent armed troops to Portland stating they were “war ravaged.” What was Portland doing?

Anne Gayler's avatar

Portland was being a Blue city. Trump will probably send in instigators to start violence in order to unleash the hounds.

It's cute that you think remaining peaceful will make a difference. And it's cute you think legality will make a difference. He doesn't care. He will see millions of people who reject him as reason enough to declare it.

We are fighting to keep their gnarled, twisted hands off our cherished, sacrosanct Four Freedoms — freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and FREEDOM FROM FEAR.

It needs to be Freedom from religion. Current events should be making that crystal clear. And there has never been a freedom from want. There are millions who want for affordable housing, affordable food and a greener future. Those wants have always been part of this country.

We’re all in this together and will support each other every step of the way. We’re not afraid of the pedophile-in-chief and his incompetent, pedophile-enabling team. I hope bone spurs doesn’t think we’ve forgotten about the Epstein files because we’re going to get those files one way or another. The resistance is strong and shouldn’t be underestimated!

Where are the Epstein files. We need to hear from everyone that knows what is in them - even if they know just a little bit. We'll put it together like a puzzle. We all know that Trump is in them and suspect that he's not just a casual friend, but a participant. He has such a history of sexual abuse. He is another creep in the world and when he said things were different in the 90's, he kind of gave himself away. Yes, things were different in the 90's because no one could believe that these pedophiles were doing what they were doing on such a large scale, but now that we know, they need to be punished for what they have done. These girls need to be able to confront them for their crimes and society needs to turn their backs on these vile men. They need to be held accountable. Thank you for all that you and your team are doing to restore balance in the US and for giving us the truth daily.
