This one hit like a sermon. The GOP is the Guardians of Pedos and the Maxwell prison transfer proves they’re still running cleanup for Trump’s sins. But here’s what I’m watching closely: Black outrage on this is nearly nonexistent, not because we don’t care, but because the media has made sure the victims who looked like us got written out early. That silence was bought.

I’m working on a piece now about this erasure. www.xplisset.com. Appreciate y’all keeping the heat on. Let’s not just defeat this regime. Let’s unmask the whole damn thing.

The voting rights of black and brown people are being attacked and diluted so that they can have no impact on their communities because of the gerrymandering of the despicable GOP, people wake up there really isn't much time to ensure a democratic future for the USA!!

If this is permitted in Texas what makes you think it would be done in ever red state. I have always said trump wants total control over the election process so gr can run again and again until he is dies, if nit him just another narcissistic fascist will take his place. This is his Hitjer and Mussolini held their countries captive for decades.

Tracey Pietrzak's avatar

I am tryiong SO hard to believe we still have some control... And I fear the worst as well. But...watching the Blue states taking taking a firm, public stand - is having major impact!! Let's keep the Meidas faith together

But remember they lost it all in the end! Evil eventually dies

That is why we can not let the repthugs open Pandoras box on this, it would never end. They can't win a fair fight and they know it .

Worse, he wants to destroy an election process. This appears to be a large and deep line in the stand. Sooner or later (hopefully not later) the push has to be stopped

It’s past time! I have been saying this since the Orange Nazi got elected!!

Robert Goldbach's avatar

This move by TrumpLicans is just another part of an overall effort to roll back the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act. This is a civil war--not of the shooting kind, yet--and sooner or later, everyone will get enfolded into it. We need to take a stand now--it can only get worse.

Yes! I also liked “when they go low, stomp them!” I’m not a violent person but these criminals infuriate me!

Jaye Sors's avatar

Not sure what you mean by the silence was bought by whom how when?

Xplisset's avatar

Great question Jaye. What I mean is: Epstein’s early Black victims were erased from the mainstream narrative and that erasure wasn’t accidental. Ghislaine Maxwell herself referred to these girls as her “slaves.” But by the time the story hit Netflix and the headlines, it had been polished into a white feminist redemption arc.

The result? Most of Black America stayed quiet…not out of apathy, but because we were edited out. That silence was engineered. And now that Ghislaine’s been moved quietly to a low-security camp… it’s clear the cover-up is still live.

I am breaking this down more fully over on my page if you’re curious. But the short version? The silence was paid for in skin, in headlines, and in who got to be called a victim.

Becca's avatar

Anyones' child, black, white, yellow, brown, purple is what I have and always will try to protect. With so many whites, this is not a racial thing. But, with blacks it is reduced to a racial grievance and results in a non-supportive stance for other peoples' kids because of it? Am I missing something here? Am I too logical in connecting the dots of reverse racism that denies ALL GIRLS and BOYS abused in the Epstein sex trafficking ring? I don't understand a vindictive, justification of moral reversal and silence while ignoring the humanity that needs defending. Right and wrong when it comes to helpless, defenseless animals and humans does not change my actions because of someone's skin color or usefulness. Sorry.

Xplisset's avatar

Becca, I hear your heart and I believe you to the utmost when you say you’d protect any child. That’s not in question.

But let me tell you what is: who gets remembered… and who gets redacted.

See, the thing about racism in America is it don’t always wear a hood. Sometimes it shows up in editing rooms, courtroom deals, and who gets named in the documentary trailer. When Black survivors got ignored in the early coverage of Epstein, it wasn’t because they didn’t exist. It was because they were inconvenient to the storyline.

And when we bring that up….not to erase anyone else’s pain, but to reclaim our own….it gets called “reverse racism.”

That’s like burning down someone’s house, then getting mad when they ask why their name wasn’t on the GoFundMe.

So no, it’s not about race instead of morality. It’s about race inside morality because if the moral outrage only ignites after the faces get lighter, that ain’t justice Becca. That’s branding.

I’m not here to argue pain. I’m here to honor all of it, especially the chapters the publishers left out.

Becca's avatar

Oh, another tidbit. Female political power is till way behind males in all states and federal legislatures. TX State Legislature is just a pissing testosterone laden urine all over America especially females.

Texas State Senate

Republican Members: 20

Female Republican Senators: 6

Texas State House of Reps.

Republican Members: 88

Female Republican Representatives: 7

SO-113 GOP males--13 GOP females!

93% of prison population is male yet I volunteer to make part of meals for half-way house of parolees. BUT, females are prey for males. We exist with knowledge of their violent natures, surprising/obnoxious behavior, expect to modify our behavior in situations or pay a price, expect to act submissive to dominant males to avoid injury. A male laughs at expense of a female, we are emotionally hurt. A woman laughs at expense of a male, we could die. Females know males will cheat on them, divorse them for younger, prettier models, will expect wives to sexually service them when they don’t feel like to to stay married and husbands inside the marriage. Males do less housework though females are working the same amout of hours. Sick children, entertaining guests, cooking, decorating, cleaning, shopping, car-pooling children, etc. are mostly expected female duties. At work females are asked to bake, cook stuff for company events. I refused and said I will bring paper cups or plates. Whatever males usually easily supply. Alimony and child support are often not paid and females have a hard time in court trying to get the money to survive and feed themselve and family. I could go on but this doesn’t mean I hate males and refuse to help them. I love some of their qualities but society and testosterone make them a sort of enemy looking to get one up on us. I say this because I have lots of slights, hurts, disregards, dismissals pepetrated by males but they are human and worth fighting for if they are wronged. But, remember I love a good civil debate. I hear you clearly and am familiar with your plight in life with a non-white skin but try females plight with a no-penis, testosterone body but instead breasts, hips and a vessel for penetration and satisfaction and resulting life endangering, furture cancelling pregnancies.

I interpreted that as the mainstream press and their owners. There’s only one reason they would give in and that’s greed.

NO QUARTER FOR MAGA....GOP.....MCTATOTITS......SYNCOPHANT BARBIE COLLECTION

"No quarter" generally means no mercy or compassion, especially in the context of combat or conflict. It implies a refusal to take prisoners or spare the lives of surrendering enemies, effectively meaning "kill them all".

The regime wants to rig the election in plain sight and finally our governors are showing that they are the line of defense against the corruption. Bravo to Governors across the nation, one of them will be our next President if we have an election in 2028.

Equally disgusting and disastrous is now the State Department wants tourist from various countries to pay a bond up to 15k to visit our country. We have the World Cup and Olympics in the next few years and what should be a boom and something to be proud of as a country will look like a a cross between Nazi Germany praising Dead Leader and a poorly attended high school softball game.

Georgette Cipolla's avatar

We should cancel both events. Sorry for the athletes but the risk to foreign visitors and their families is of great concern. We are now under the rule of an authoritarian dictator. . No one knows what additional harm can be come to those who visit the United States of America.

James Wilson's avatar

I wouldn’t cancel them, but send them to different countries. France did a great job with the Olympics last year and maybe they could do it again. World Cup, I’d send to Brazil to piss off Trump even more.

Georgette Cipolla's avatar

Agree just meant that it should not be held in US

tina jones's avatar

Foreign athletes are in danger of being detained by ICE shit humans too.

Tracy's avatar

Dead Leader. Freudian typo.

James Wilson's avatar

Most anticipated obituary ever

Dennis Doherty's avatar

Dear Leader seems to want a replay of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin!

Teach84's avatar

We need ALL Democratic governors to stand up and do the same, not just two or three.

I believe that the FIFA organizers are currently considering moving their venue to Canada or somewhere other than the US. I hope they follow through with that. The Olympic Committee has plenty of time to change their venue as well.

James Wilson's avatar

I really would be happy and that pains me to say. It’s supposed to be exciting for these global events to be here, instead creating fear and dread.

Teach84's avatar

Same here, James. I worry for friends and family members of the athletes who will be traveling with them.

Debbi Jackson's avatar

We've got the power! It is time to fight back. When they go low...we stomp. That doesn't mean we go lower...we just stop the shit! Power to the people.

yolanda martin's avatar

It’s about time the Dems fight fire with fire. Taking the “high road” just doesn’t work when those in the low road have no rules, no morals, no honesty, no integrity and continually ignore the rule of law. I hope California and New York follow through.

Benjamin R Sutton's avatar

It is time to stop saying black and brown people and white people. That division is fictitious. The white race is a fabrication. It is the rich versus poor. Let’s stop reinforcing the divide that does not exist between poor and poor. Input controls output. If we modify our vernacular, we modify the conversation

Wildflower's avatar

Couldn’t agree more - And to me it is good vs evil . Truth will triumph over evil!

Kezia Sorensen's avatar

We should modify our vernacular, or, I would say, quit adopting the right’s vernacular. An example is not overspend by rooting out waste, abuse and fraud. Notice that I’ve changed the word order. They say wastefraudandabuse like it’s one word. Waste is spending huge amounts on renovating the White House to add a ballroom and it is also an abuse of power, but it’s not fraud. Fraud is a crime such as deliberately valuing your property to get a break on taxes but assigning another value to get a better loan interest rate. They are masters of messaging.

Let’s change the messaging. Waste and abuse are tools of the powerful who are in charge. Don’t let them normalize the word fraud which should result in a criminal indictment.

Terri Mac's avatar

It's not rich vs poor, it is have vs "have nots".

PeachBlossom's avatar

Hat's the difference?!?

Terri Mac's avatar

"The concept of "haves" vs. "have-nots" is a fundamental framework used to analyze and understand social and economic inequality. It describes a society or a system divided into two groups: those who possess a disproportionate amount of resources, power, and wealth (the "haves"), and those who lack these things (the "have-nots").

Origin and Core Ideas

While the phrase itself is a common idiom, the underlying ideas are central to the work of many social theorists, most notably Karl Marx. In his theories of class conflict..."

Totally agree it similar to segregation….Labeling isn’t found in the Constitution or Declaration of Independence….We are all human not color coded…

I’m watching from Australia as Trump and his Republican enablers execute this desperate and appalling attempt to overthrow democracy in the US and I’m so grateful for the Meidas channel and other progressive news outlets. I check in every day and I celebrate each and every progressive victory.

I wish progressive America such strength, empowerment and resilience in the face of this dreadful onslaught. I love that the Democrats are starting to fight fire with fire. All power to the true American people. ❤️

Wildflower's avatar

Hey Simon , 🎉thank you SO much for letting us know you are with us in Australia too ❣️

MAGA FL sheriffs are so angry they’re going on MSNBC to vent about DHS/ICE poaching their people with lucrative offers after they’ve been trained with local $$…🍿🍿🍿

Dennis Doherty's avatar

Isn't that special?! Florida sheriffs complaining about another thug force paying more. AND that those LEOs are......trained in Florida! No doubt, every low paid LEO, who has already been banished from an actually better trained force, has been seeking a job where they can brandish their own sense of 'justice' without of reprocussion.

Extremely well put!

They should go on Fox, Newsmax, Rogan where their base can hear them crying.

Debbie E's avatar

It's about time! Stop with the but we are the party of integrity, morals, blah blah blah. It's time to fight fire with fire or there won't be a democray.

Cory Clark's avatar

Its about time the democrats take the gloves off! That POS in the Whitehouse cant be fought on normal terms!! We MUST act with what ever measures it takes to keep democracy safe!!! Thankyou Meidas brothers for all your reporting!

Mae's avatar

So next time republicans do this like they HAVE BEFORE we can put warrants out for their arrest right?

How bout we get rid of the whole electoral system. It sucks!

Support the National Popular Vote Compact!!!!...once we have state legislatures back, of course. Ugh

LS McAllister's avatar

This gives me hope. I'm mostly out of business due to Trump and now getting government assistance. I don't have the money to subscribe right now , I am so sorry but I will subscribe when I can. Thank you for changing the mindset of America!!!

LindaR's avatar

I’m so sorry to hear that! When he’s gone hopefully you can rebuild. 🇦🇺

LS McAllister's avatar

Thanks but, I am broke due to this. Takes money to rebuild. Right now can't pay insurance and other bills.
