Dik....are you....one of those MAGAs or BOTs? Or, have you just given up? Please don't bring that negative BS to this safe haven. YOU WISH Meidas would go away...without protest and dissent the demagogue would already be will on his way....we need more protest and dissent. We are NOT an autocracy yet! What do you suggest Dik, since you don't think any of this Meidas work matters?

Not a MAGA or a BOT. And I'm so sorry you don't support the 1st Amendment. The "negative BS" is my honest opinion. Why do you have a problem with that? Why do you want to suppress opposing opinions? I don't wish Meidas would go away, but I do wish they would show us what tangible effect they're having instead of constantly touting how they need our help.

I am not sure why any of my comments would lead you to believe I don't support the 1st Amendment. That is why I am a Meidas subscriber. When the Boss gets threatened with an investigation for expressing his 1st Amendment rights I think you need to be talking to the current administration about belief in 1st Amendment rights, not a Meidas supporter. Contact your Congress reps...do something instead of calling out Meidas for evidence of results. Be a part of making positive results happen rather than bringing a fire hose.

You're just fine, Richard. And 100% correct. Don't pay any attention to negative comments that in reality, sound like whoever writes them support the Dictator Criminal Deranged Psycho who sits in the Oval Office.. It's like those with negative comments support him and his cronies..

So sorry. Wasn't it you who wrote, "Please don't bring that negative BS to this safe haven"?

Regarding the other stuff you mention, I'd love to talk to "the current administration" about 1st Amendment rights. Instead, I'm talking and writing to my MOC and supporting about 15 Blues currently campaigning, just as I did in the last election.

Growth is one tangible effect as Meidas gets its words out to more people. Showing they are negatively impacting the administration across multiple channels with this growth is another.

Coverage of protests and actions is third.

Meidas is a news organization and they are doing an outstanding job reporting what is happening in our country.

We don't. It's just that I'm sure to a lot of us, you sounds so negative and depressing. Makes people think that it's useless to try to combat the Dictator and his Cronies. Let's not have a pity party here which is what that comment sounds like.

The truth is often negative and depressing, like the truth -- which is certainly depressing -- that we have "the Dictator and his Cronies" in power. Had the Dems -- and especially Biden and his gang -- faced up to the truth in 2023, we might not be in the depressing circumstances we're in and have no need for a "pity party," though I'm not sure what you're referring to.
