The swarming isn’t strength, it’s a reflex. When exposed, regimes don’t argue. They threaten. That’s the behavioral tell.
MeidasTouch is doing what corporate media won’t: documenting desecration, decoding spectacle, and refusing to flinch. The threats only confirm the impact.
Keep publishing. Keep provoking. The architecture of impunity is cracking, and they know it.
Thank you for sharing this, and I see you, truly. As a former diplomat, I know the quiet toll this kind of political violence takes on public servants. The careers lost aren’t just jobs…they’re years of service, expertise, and civic commitment discarded by a regime that fears competence and integrity.
Your call to resist is powerful. I’ll amplify it. And I hope others do too. The erosion of democratic infrastructure begins with the silencing of its stewards. We must not let that stand.

Thank you for your service. So many people don't understand the servant part of civil servant...I was a civil servant for my entire career and in the last many years I was responsible for hiring folks and retention of staff. I did have some folks who were just there for the pay check and it was next to impossible to fire them, but I had more who were so dedicated, and who could make a lot more money in the private sector, but we served the underserved, the vulnerable and they choose that over making money and I know that describes most civil servants. And you put up with so much abuse...people way things to you they would never ever say to someone in the private sector doing the same job, making a lot more money...that's the whole servant part.
What do you think should be done or what can we do when Trump decides not to leave the Whitehouse, which is what I think he is planning. Dems should pay attention to this treat now. Please respond back
You're more than likely right. It is his Gestapo group that he's formed beneath him that will ruin us. Think Hitler from the 1930's through 1945. The Putin/Xi/Kim allies that will help them enormously. They won't go away just because he does/did.
I wonder if we can bribe the Grim Reeper with wine and cheese if he will hurry it along a bit? Not that I would advocate Trump dying of anything except " natural causes".
Lucky for us he is old so no need for any violence or lawlessness on our part when nature is willing to do that for us.
I've been asking that MANY TIMES. Exactly what DO we do since the Dictator Deranged Felon Psychotic and his republiCRAP party are determined to see that we don't even have elections in 2028? Actually, they are determined that we don't even have the midterm elections next year? Dump more than likely is going to send out another of his J6 Gestapo/personal ARMY to prevent those from happening. He'll definitely make up some kind of communist/nazi excuse.
My questions and sentiments. It's why I've been posting, not knowing what else better is out there, Refusefascism.org , RemovalCoalition.org and alike.
Thank you to all the people of Canada for supporting us in this trying and uncertain time. We love Canada and your support means the world to us. We will take back Congress and stop the felon in chief in his tracks. Everyone who enables him will face justice when we take back control. Impeach, 25th amendment. They will be in jail and we can laugh and take pride in our country putting real criminals in jail where they belong.
We are having extreme problems, not as terrible as yours but we have 5 provinces that would like to join the US and this insite tells you they are just as maga as your maga....and we are fighting too.....
I'm so sorry you are going through this, that we are all going through this. I don't know what is happening to our countries and our world. I never thought in my 64 years that I would ever see this happening in ours or your country. I am so glad my mom and dad didn't live to see this cause it would have broken their hearts. My dad proudly served this country in WWII and our President who claimed bone spurs to get out of service, is using our military against us. He bails out Argentina for $40 billion dollars while his own people are suffering with rising prices from food to healthcare. And now he is building a ballroom in the east wing of the White House with taxpayer dollars. I saw what he has done so far and broke my heart to see him do that to the people's house. Its just so awful for him to be able to get away with all of this because of the Supreme Court while we suffer, which he doesn't care about us in the least. He even told his own supporters that he didn't care about them, he only wanted their vote and that smart people don't like him, which says his supporters are stupid, which I agree with.
There are not 5 Canadian provinces leaning toward separation. As far as provinces wanting to join the USA, Alberta and Saskatchewan have the most active separatist movements. Quebec came within a hair of leaving Canada in a scary 1995 vote. However, Quebec does not want to join the USA. Those are the 3 provinces with the strongest separatist movements. The others have sympathizers, but not separatists in any great number.
There are 3 provinces with fairly strong separatist movements, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec. Only the first two have interest in joining the USA. Quebec would lose its French language rights in a union with the USA and therefore they want to become a separate, French country. Other provinces have malcontents but not strong separatist movements as of now.
Please don't idealize Canada, we have our own #mapleMAGA problem, it is a growing movement of malcontents who want to break up the country with their provinces joining the USA. The #mapleMAGA leader, Pierre Poilievre, mimics every move Trump makes. And the present Carney government is in a precarious position. So we are far from perfect.
Sadly, Dems Abroad could not get a marching permit this time........So amazing the turnout in America........I have been to 3 huge DC protests.............."No Blood For Oil" Oct 2.2002....."Stand up for Choice" Apr 25.2004......forget the date of the other one. One thing Americans do for sure.......make a show and party out of a protest!!!
Spent 2 days in Quebec City protesting the Sumit for the Americas
I am, too. Wonder if the Dictator Deranged Psycho Dimwit had ANY kind--even the least little bit--of control over that. Wouldn't be surprised as his Hitler ways are far reaching. We appreciate their support, however!
We sane American's don't blame you we hate this horrible regime also. We are horrified by how Trump has treated Canada, Mexico, Europe, Greenland, Panama - ok basically all our fellow allies in the free world.
Let them fly, Cassandra's Truth! We appreciate your support of us, dear neighbor.
I am sure you know that the vast majority of Americans don't approve of this travesty and did not want this. I am appalled and angry that 93 million registered voters and fellow citizens did not exercise the right (and DUTY) to vote. They are to blame for this, as well as the Kool-Aid consumers.
DEFINITELY hanky panky with the courts--especially the Supreme one in D.C. Five--probably six--are Dump lovers. They owe him for putting them on the Court. And believe me, he WILL collect--actually, he has already.......
Thank you for caring enough to be tempted to use swear words. Canadian moral support is so crucial to our mental health. I live about four hours from Quebec, grew up in a Maine city in the 1950's where 85%+ of the people traced their heritage to Canada and still spoke French at home. I've driven between Maine and Minnesota many times and always found very kind, warm people along the way. Love the Tourtiere Pies!
That's the only thing I think Trump nailed. Everyone around the entire world now has a plethora of colorful, tasteful, and nonstop necklace of swearwords that can be thrown in any situation at any time. My mom calls it absolute filth. She's just a jealous MAGA 😂
Don't know whether or not this will get censored--hope not. But the Dictator in the Oval Office has diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain.
He should be honest (sounds like an oxymoron) and start his next state of the Union address with this video, and then stop and go...let his cult followers explain it...
It will be difficult. However, students and readers of history need to know the national and international implications of what is happening/happened at this point in time. There should also be mention of the anxiety and frustrations of so many people on a day to day basis.
We must do what Nalvany could not, end the terror. And we will: There are millions of us, more of us. And the backlash is rising. Trumpstein is only out to harm America. He wants Gulf of Trump, States of Trump. He belongs both in a straight jacket and a prison ward.
I still can't understand for the life of me WHY the Dump got away with it. You'd think he'd need some authorization/permission from some government official (or whatever/whoever). Supposedly the SOB didn't use taxpayer money. We all KNOW he did. Can't believe what any republiCRAP--or dump-loving station like FOX--says. Obviously, they are the ones who broadcasted the "idea" that he didn't.
I can’t imagine where we’d be without your Network, the three of you, plus the other great reporters, who DAILEY (hourly at times) inform us! Heartfelt thanks🩷 and be safe!
Bet he's upset because he can't.......better not go that far. As great as the Meidas Brothers are, I think even THEY would censor THAT thought typed on here!!!
I think that's an insult to three-year-olds! But you're right and they definitely like their temper-tantrums....especially their Dimwit Dictator leader.
Already voted in PA!!!! Get out and vote. Help others get their ballots or give them a ride on election day. No one can stay home for elections. No one
The swarming isn’t strength, it’s a reflex. When exposed, regimes don’t argue. They threaten. That’s the behavioral tell.
MeidasTouch is doing what corporate media won’t: documenting desecration, decoding spectacle, and refusing to flinch. The threats only confirm the impact.

Please don't forget all the civil servants who are being fired and furloughed. My partner and I have lost our careers because of the fascists. Help us resist: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/democracy-defender-reader-poem

he won't last that long....it's whats under him that is just as disconcerting
You're more than likely right. It is his Gestapo group that he's formed beneath him that will ruin us. Think Hitler from the 1930's through 1945. The Putin/Xi/Kim allies that will help them enormously. They won't go away just because he does/did.
yep, but do NOT let them ruin us/you!!
Yes! Thanks for your reply.
I expect the Grim Reaper to escort him out.
I wonder if we can bribe the Grim Reeper with wine and cheese if he will hurry it along a bit? Not that I would advocate Trump dying of anything except " natural causes".

I think I will exercise my resisted by seeing what it takes to be a pole worker in my little red part of central Texas.
Excellent idea. I need to do the same thing.

Hang him on the front gate by his toupee for a photo op with Karo liar and her fake cross and teeth.
beautifully put!

But I’m Canadian
PURE EVIL

I'll say them for you, cause I'm an enraged American. 😊
I wonder if your list is the same (and as long) as mine is..............!

What are the 5 provinces? Can you please list them?
I was wondering the same thing. The only ones I have heard of who want to join the MAGA movement are the Wildrose part of the UCP in Alberta?
Colline Collins put that number in her posting. Still waiting for a reply asking for a list. Alberta has a group wanting to leave Canada.
Thanks WJB.

????? The days of being nice are over.......I was protesting at the Toronto NOKINGS
Bullies, narcissists,sexual abusers think empathy, caring and humanity are a sign of
weakness
Let them fucking have it!!!
I was at my First Ever Protest 🪧 n Saturday! 😁🙌🫂💕
Having been bullied as a child and teen…
I Became an Advocate for Our Beloved Elders.
Of ALL Nationalities ❤️🇨🇦❤️
My son-in-law went to a No Kings demonstration Saturday that was his first time, also., in Evanston, IL.
You are awesome 👏🏽 🫶🏽

Dems Abroad could not get a marching permit this time!!?? I'm horrified of learning that, where, how, why? really??
I am, too. Wonder if the Dictator Deranged Psycho Dimwit had ANY kind--even the least little bit--of control over that. Wouldn't be surprised as his Hitler ways are far reaching. We appreciate their support, however!
??????? The action took place in front of the consulate......then dispersed.
In Canada or all over the world?? I'm asking 'cause I didn't know this.
Edit: tRumputin's "ambassador" to Canada is one of his project2025 goons. the one that the excellent Charlie Angus criticized.
WJB Motown I envy you your ability and dedication to our No Tyrants/No Kings rally in Toronto. Good for you. 👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
No need to envy me.......Just get out of the house and go for it!!!!
Physically unable right now, but I look forward to when I can. Even in my small city on Vancouver Island. 👍
Thank you and your fellow-citizens for all your support! Believe me, we appreciate it far more than you'll ever know!
We Love 💕 YOU USA 🇺🇸
We SUPPORT YOU! 💕💕
We do NOT LOVE
YOUR CORRUPT GOVERNMENT
🫂💕⛓️💥🇨🇦
Awesome! We are glad you recognize that. I am ashamed of so many in this country.
Agreed.
We have some here that I am ashamed of …
They are called maple MAGA
And the word makes me throw up in my mouth
MAPLE MAGA??? NOOOOOO!!! Those words must never be uttered again! I don't want to believe that exists in Canada. :(
Right?! RIGHT?! Barf 🤮⛓️💥🇨🇦
And now, per Meidas Canada’s Charlie Angus, we call the leader of Maple Maga, Mr Despicable. It’s very fitting !! 💪🇨🇦
Sadly they do, and they are growing with dark money coming in from the USA, as the Trump government wants to see Canada break up.
Thank 💙 You! We Proud Americans love our Canadian Friends and always will.
Thanks so much. Neither do we!!! ✊🏻
We sane American's don't blame you we hate this horrible regime also. We are horrified by how Trump has treated Canada, Mexico, Europe, Greenland, Panama - ok basically all our fellow allies in the free world.
Thank you! 😊🫂❤️
I’m sorry 😉🫂💕💕💕
Thank you and the rest of the world for standing with us. John Caruso, Ithaca,New York USA🇺🇸

Apathy and ignorance are deadly.
Oh, We Know! 🥰🫂❤️
We have our own bad case of fleas right now that is highly annoying and dangerous…
PISS off PP!
PISS OFF Danielle Smith
PISS OFF STEPHEN HARPER
NO TO TYRANTS!⛓️💥🇨🇦
WORLD 🌎 WIDE!
Agreed...but I think there may have been hanky panky with the counts as well.
So much now depends on the midterms. Let us hope the 93 million get the message...
DEFINITELY hanky panky with the courts--especially the Supreme one in D.C. Five--probably six--are Dump lovers. They owe him for putting them on the Court. And believe me, he WILL collect--actually, he has already.......
and hanky panky with the voting process and the election counts, overall.
Bingo!

ARE AMAZING! 🤩

My sentiments exactly, too!!
I’ve got you covered. ~signed, a mother fucking bitch-ass, mad as fuck American.
Awesome! 👏🙌🫂💕⛓️💥
That's the only thing I think Trump nailed. Everyone around the entire world now has a plethora of colorful, tasteful, and nonstop necklace of swearwords that can be thrown in any situation at any time. My mom calls it absolute filth. She's just a jealous MAGA 😂
Well… we now know what pure evil is..
And how wide spread it has become.
We have our own, Here 😉🇨🇦⛓️💥
Praise be to the chain, haha.
....and way too polite!!!!!!!!!!!!
White House destroyed, Trump defecating on US citizens - this will be DementoDon's legacy!
Diarrhea Donnie. He loves feces. Hate. Revenge . And lying
Don't know whether or not this will get censored--hope not. But the Dictator in the Oval Office has diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain.
It should be put in history books for students now and in the future to see.
He should be honest (sounds like an oxymoron) and start his next state of the Union address with this video, and then stop and go...let his cult followers explain it...
I can't imagine a future history class about this time in our lives .
It is very beyond not normal.
It will be difficult. However, students and readers of history need to know the national and international implications of what is happening/happened at this point in time. There should also be mention of the anxiety and frustrations of so many people on a day to day basis.
If MAGA want to put someone in prison they should start with the pedophile-in-chief.
I love that he calls democrats exactly what he IS. A convicted felon a rapist a child trafficker he defected daily 🤬🤢🤮💙🫶🏽🇺🇸🥵
That is ALL they do. It is 100% projection--accusing others of what they are guilty of doing (or planning to do).
Rigging elections....
Corrupting....
Targeting opponents...
Enemy of the people...
Anti-American.....
Perpetrating and abetting lawlessness and criminality....
The list goes on
100%!!
That will NEVER happen because they SUPPORT the 34 time felon!
The more we stand together the stronger we are. They can't imprison the entire country. Strength in numbers!
Wanna bet??? (Sorry for the sarcasm--just couldn't resist! I wouldn't put anything past that Psycho Idiot Bimbo in the Oval Office.)
We must do what Nalvany could not, end the terror. And we will: There are millions of us, more of us. And the backlash is rising. Trumpstein is only out to harm America. He wants Gulf of Trump, States of Trump. He belongs both in a straight jacket and a prison ward.
Naval'nyy, God bless and rest his soul.
Yes!!
Be safe brothers ☮️💞🌍🦘💪x
Tankz ☮️🦘 everyone!!!!!!!!!
Understandable that they want you in prison. They are terrified of you!
Congratulations for getting their attention and sharing it publicly.
Keep safe and out of their clutches!
Thank you for standing strong.
The Historical Society should have done their job and stopped the White House from destroying the east wing!
I still can't understand for the life of me WHY the Dump got away with it. You'd think he'd need some authorization/permission from some government official (or whatever/whoever).

Totally agree! I'm SO glad I "found" these Brothers (by accident!). They've helped me keep my sanity (whatever was and still is left of it)!
No one I would want to stand shoulder to shoulder with than you Ben!
What a powerful, chilling image it is to see the beautiful people’s house destroyed to make way for a gilded king’s palace!
They are all spoiled, hateful three years olds.
Obsessed with poop and genitalia.
Bet he's upset because he can't.......better not go that far. As great as the Meidas Brothers are, I think even THEY would censor THAT thought typed on here!!!
much worse than three years olds.
I think that's an insult to three-year-olds! But you're right and they definitely like their temper-tantrums....especially their Dimwit Dictator leader.
Taco Tuesday, all. EFF 47.
Well, lil o me is not scared of them, they do not intimidate me. I am going to go vote in a few minutes. Early voting started in TX.
FUCK trump! FUCK ice. Hell, FUCK ALL OF THEM.
Already voted in PA!!!! Get out and vote. Help others get their ballots or give them a ride on election day. No one can stay home for elections. No one
