Hey Meidas Mighty. It’s Ben Meiselas. I will keep this short.
We need your help.
The fight against the Trump regime is about to kick into a higher gear.
A few things are happening right now. I believe Trump is looking for an excuse to trigger martial law, and he will try to suspend habeas corpus soon. Trump is sending the FBI and Secret Service to harass and intimidate his opposition. Trump is coming after independent media. The disaster budget bill is going to cause societal unrest, and the peaceful protests are going to start getting massive this summer.
I’ve always believed there would be a democracy summer. The streets of America are about to look like the scenes we’ve seen before in mass peaceful mobilizations in foreign countries against authoritarian regimes.
Peaceful protests are key.
Trump will react the way authoritarian regimes do, and he will send his militias and insurrectionists and others against American citizens.
That’s where I believe we are headed.
Trump and MAGA will get wiped out in the midterm elections—if we have them. They don’t want midterms. They don’t want elections.
We must understand that the threat to free and fair elections is not hypothetical, but is already here right now.
The Trump budget bill is a murder bill.
It sets the foundation to turn America into Russia. It inflicts mass suffering by ripping away healthcare and killing people. It makes the purchase of weapons like silencers and suppressors easier. It tries to stop federal courts from issuing contempt rulings by making contempt unlawful. It steals from the poor and gives their money to the oligarchs. Project 2025 is Project Putin.
We know Trump’s next attack against us is coming soon.
I don’t know if it’s tomorrow or next week or a month or whenever.
It’s coming.
He’s done it before, and now we are the biggest news network in America.
We provide the most extensive coverage of the protests anywhere, and our coverage of the upcoming June 14 No Kings Protest is going to be record-breaking, as we will embed our coverage across the country and the world.
The hosts that Trump fears the most are leaving cable to join Meidas.
We launched Katie Phang’s YouTube channel yesterday, and it has 100k subscribers in 24 hours.
Not even Fox News can compete with our reach and views right now.
We don’t have outside investors. We don’t have outside shareholders. This is a people-powered network.
You’ve seen the work and vast, complex infrastructure we’ve built that is bigger than cable news and much leaner—with staff and writers and lawyers and reporters and multiple channels and researchers—and we’ve done it entirely as an independent media network.
We report to you. You are our stakeholder.
That’s it.
Knowing what’s coming, and that the fiercest days of the fight are just moments away, we need to make our biggest push right now to get to 1 million subscribers on this Substack.
We must grow, and we must grow fast to survive.
It’s simple.
So please, right now if you can, become a Subscriber to this Substack.
Tell others you know right now to become a subscriber to this Substack.
Without you, we are nothing.
If you are a Subscriber, you can gift subscriptions to others you know.
It’s an all-hands-on-deck moment right now, and I’m not ashamed to say we need your help.
Thank you for everything, Meidas Mighty.
We are going to stop these fascists. We will prevail in the end.
