If not for Meidas Touch, this world would be a lot scarier. A community of likeminded people who believe in fairness, decency, and democracy. To know the whole country hasn’t turned to garbage is reassuring.

The news and analysis that we receive from you and the network is an unfiltered like the corporate media.

Cannot call Drump a pig because pigs are intelligent beings & the Orange One is as Stupid as a stump

Bit insulting to stumps. And pigs are smart so can't call him that. The Thief in Chief will become his own personal insult, unequalled by anything else. Even calling him a fascist is a compliment so the Mango Moron is the ultimate insult. For now, it'll do. 😁

Happy Thanksgiving from Aus. 🇦🇺❤️

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone at Meidas! It takes a village and I am thankful for the “ human lens”.

As an Indigenous woman I won't wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving; that story is a debunked relic from the past. And I won't bury the pain we all feel behind over indulgence; when immigrants are dying of horrible conditions on cold dark concrete, some with hands zipped tied behind their backs. I will say may we take respite in a quite few days as we strategize and show our resistance in blackouts. And may we find renewed hope of the return of humanity, may we start a new tradition and call it people giving and for all families gathering this holiday, hug each other at the door and try to leave all animosity behind🤘and maybe thank them for just being here and be thankful we survived.

What a sterling comment from a most intelligent and empathetic women. You have my gratitude for giving the newcomers a beautiful

Insight to forgivness and compassion. May we all pray for our fellow man to have a sustainable future.

A very sobering and true commentary. May our collective push back against this rump regime and the inequalities of life in America unite us in standing up and speaking out against human rights violations. You can and you will make a difference!

Who has given more than the Indian?” ~ Allan Cayous (Apache/Cahuilla), ca. 1975

You have taken our land

You have changed our lives

destroying what was once our ways

You have taken our children

and forced them to live as you live

You have taken our young people

to fight in wars where many have died

far from home.

All this and more have happened to us

Yet when we receive help from the Indian Health Service

The Bureau of Indian Affairs

Or anyone

I see in your eyes

and hear in your voice

The belief that you are giving us

something for nothing

You government people should think about this

and then answer me one question

Who has given more than The Indian?

Totally understand your sentiments. I also feel very uncomfortable with all the overindulgence. Not that my daughter and I indulge-we can't afford it! My sympathies are usually with indigenous people. We lived on the Navajo nation for almost 10 years, and have warm feelings for our friends we met there, and I'm always so happy to hear of tribes/tribal members who are succeeding and building a better life for their families.

Thank you. Meidas is the first message I read. Without you, I would have many sleepless nights. It's inspiring to know that there are so many like-minded individuals coming together to restore our democracy.
