Great post.

Taco as always..runs away squawking, post a great big scary…telling everyone to leave, to deflect attention away from the fact he left the summit because he couldn’t handle actual work and trying to understand what they were talking about.

Putin sent him, told him to ask for him to come back. Trudeau wasn’t even PM when Putin was kicked out.

As always..global fool.

Thank you all three Meiselas brothers, and the Meidas Network team, for your constant hard work for democracy.

Fyi, wikipedia page confirms No Kings as the 3rd largest protest / demonstration in US history. It also qualifies as the largest-ever single day political protest. (The top 2 were the multi-day political protests after George Floyd's murder, and the first Earth Day in 1970, a pro-environment collection of activities, teach-in's, and rallies.) The attendance conservatively is listed as ">5 million;" Alt National Park's final estimate was 13.14 million.

Next national protest is scheduled for Thursday July 17. This day is the 5th anniversay of John Lewis's death, and the "good trouble" he advocated will be celebrated.

Came to substack because of you guys, keep doing what you’re doing. May this be the rise of independent media!

Independent Media has risen like the Phoenix out of the fire. All the other media will either come along for the ride, or die in the flames of misinformation, propaganda, lies, ratings, money, and the race for power and control over weak minds. In the end, the very people they are lying to will be their undoing.

Can anybody tell me why he keeps putting "Thank you for your attention to this" at the end of every declaration of something horrendous?

It's like he thinks he's your car mechanic sending a reminder letter for an unpaid bill.

"Iran will suffer UNTOLD DESTRUCTION! They should SIGN a PEACE DEAL - NOW! Thank you for your attention to this matter".

WTF?

I, too, have wondered about this. Maybe he thinks it makes him sound like he knows what he is talking about or that he is in his right mind. He never is.

There is no explanation for the choices made by a brain that has two functioning cylinders that do not coordinate their actions - think of HAL at the end of

2001, A Space Odessey , where the programming kept devolving. Here a choice for a formal-looking and in-control closing to a business letter. It's utterly pointless.

Trump wants to own everything and everyone. He thinks he is so big and bad and tough. He thinks that we are scared of him and will bend the knee to his pathetic self. Trump is a weak coward and a sociopath moron. The whole world knows how dumb and stupid he is and his whole regime. They’re laughing at them and know they don’t have a clue of what they’re doing and that makes all of our lives very dangerous. We don’t know what these other countries are planning and every time he or his regime opens their sickening and disgusting mouths they are putting America and Americans lives in danger.

I think they DO know what they're doing. They are deliberately trying to destroy democracy and return us to a feudal society wherein they would be masters of their estates / the universe, with the majority of the population relegated to peon status.

Excellent commentary, as usual. Trump left early b/c

1. He wasn’t the primary interest of the others

2. Leaving would put him in the headlines

3. He was confused by all the diplomatic stuff

4. He knew his odors were going to be the talk of the day. (He didn’t bend down to pick up the papers b/c either he wouldn’t have been able to stand or his urine bag lines would break.

I want to think Canada only gave him an 8-hour pass because he is a felon and technically not allowed in their country.

Trump's health is failing fast. They need to keep him in tight quarters in order to keep him in line and handle his dementia. People with dementia do not like unfamiliar places or people because they can't carry on a simple, normal conversation. So, they find an "urgent" reason for him to return to the WH where they can control him - somewhat.

I agree. His team is confining him to short, incoherent sound bites and rage tweeting.

Clearly we have to find a way to end this homegrown demented criminal terror. He needs to be removed from the White House and institutionalized in an institution for the criminally deranged. He seems to be above the law and it's up to us to bring him down. The next step in the Anti-tRump movement. Support the GeneralStrikeUS.com! FiftyFifty.One has reported that we won a major battle on June 14, 2025, at the International - No Kings - Anti-tRump protests! But the war against the tRump isn't over. We surpassed the eleven million protesters we need to end the reign of the Limp Dick Traitor, Führer DonOld tRump, his regime of Musk Rats, Nazi MAGAts, his Battalion of Rich Oligarchs , his ICE Gestapo and his administration from hell.

Studies show that 3.5% of the population (11 million in America) exhibit SUSTAINED RESISTANCE to effectively enact change. Learn more about the 3.5% rule here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=x4syl-hZ9_I&si=jAbBx2kcLf72MZD4)

The No Kings protest was a major win towards our goal of getting the tRump out of our White House but it's time to make more good trouble! The next big battle is the Nationwide General Strike US. The General Strike organizers are also following the 3.5% rules. They can/will not write their demands or strike until they have eleven million Americans willing to commit to supporting the Strike. When they do write their demands, I am hoping that their number one demand, at the top of the list, will be to call for the Immediate Resignation of the tRump!

To reach this number they need everyone who is willing to stop working for the unknown duration of the strike. This strike is for everyone, even for workers without a union. They need organizations, businesses, unemployed workers, retired workers, students, family members, community, etc.- committed to supporting the Strikers during this potentially difficult time. Personally, I believe that if millions of Americans don't show up for work that the billionaire oligarchs will be calling for the immediate resignation of their king - themselves!

To learn more and determine when the time is right to strike, the organizers are asking everyone to sign the General Strike US strike card at GeneralStrikeUS.com. Stand Up America, sign the card and be counted so we can get that true homegrown demented criminal terror out of our lives and get on with the task of rebuilding our democracy and our government. Learn more about how to rebuild visit BernieSanders.com.

Please forward, share or talk about this message with your family, friends, colleagues, even strangers if given the opportunity. Post or repost it on your social media accounts! Substack protesters share this message outside of this political category and get it out to everyone. It's going to take ALL of us to bring down the tRump, the billionaire oligarchs (who hog the money you earn) and the Administration from Hell!

A general strike will present employers with the opportunity to threaten to fire anyone who participates.

Trump wants a war he wanted to invade Iran in his first term but was stopped by sane people and not yes man. This time there are only yes man as crazy and power mad as he is. He also wants revenge for his birthday party parade this will include more arrest of opposition and terrorising of the citizens in general. At the same time his administration is using the full attention and hate aimed at Trump to hide behind while implementing more of project 2025.

That’s a good point. Is there a Project 2025 tracker to make people aware of their progress in implementing all those horrible things? Need to keep their plan out in the open.
