Meiselas: Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities, aided and abetted by red state governors, who, again, are the takers who wouldn't exist without the blue states

Accurate Headline: "Trump Attempting Military Occupation of American Cities."
Guys are you covering the Abrego case? I haven't checked the podcasts but there are no new video clips or segments posted on MT or @legalafmtn.bsky.social :( .. Is the network in some kind of restriction re: this coverage?
Part of the MTN bsky.app/profile/lega...
The red states are making a move to steal from the blue states right now. The companies they are taking over are based in blue states.
💥 As a Boomer and Super Ager - you don’t know how massively powerful 💥this is ⤵️ As Vanity Fair proclaimed in February, “The revolution won’t be televised, it will be on MeidasTouch.”

You guys are definitely being throttled. I signed up for and usually receive notifications for all your new posts and I’ve received 0 notifications the last three days.
They are either scared shitless by Trump and the Fascist Republican Party, or they have Trump ass kissers in the C-suite (like CBS, CNN etc).
If the smash did not sane-wash Trump, we would not be in this mess. I won’t watch them again.
You guys are the best!
🎯🎯🎯 We *still* eat our own through moral purity feasts of immoral fervor while our LITERAL enemies have honed &perfected the fraudulent sale of amorality as morality. Russia has been using antisemitism as a weapon of war to destabilize democracies for over a century. It worked like a charm in 24.
You realize the MSM is a key component in the take over of this country by our arch enemy, don’t you. They want to be state media to siphon moneys from the people they’re propagandized
Wondering why anonymously hasn’t continuously hacked the airwaves to botch their plans.
I’ve missed their work with a few hackable moments
I am sure if a Dem president did even one percent of the unlawful things tRump has done, the media would be calling for their impeachment 24/7z.
Just stop funding them. If Trump can refuse to fund Blue States for natural disasters, then Blue States can refuse to fund red state welfare. Cut off the money train.
Every American needs to just stop paying federal income tax
💯 👏👏👏
The purpose of the U.S. Congress is to serve as the nation's legislative branch, responsible for making laws and controlling government finances. The Republican Political Party has nullified the purpose of the United States Congress.
Can't he just have an episode and leave?
The Press serves a vital role as the Fourth Estate They abandoned that role decades ago. #resist Boomers liked money & blow while the Contras killed nuns & undermined the elected Sandinista government. Take their fortunes or give them shovels to dig rectangular holes. Serve my pizza Luigi. #resist
Trump days this about ALL his crime & unconstitutional acts: "I'm just going to DO it. Congress will follow along."
And they do.
Yes, and that's why he wants to cheat so badly in the election to keep it that way.
Reagan coined the philosophy that is better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission. The gop guiding principle. Gutless Old Perves
"It is better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission." = "Full regard for self, and sadistic disregard for others." It's the cornerstone of the #CriminalMind
Exactly!
Trump *says* this...
Absolutely! Crisis abounds.
Don’t believe people who pays tax’s want the national guard in their cities because they meant for emergencies not occupation of cities.
You cannot trust legacy media. Look at tariffs. Today all the mSM is saying how tariffs will bring in enough money to affect debt levels. None that I saw said that these are paid by the consumers. It is a huge tax. Who would ever be elected on increasing taxes?
Yes!
How about.....don't watch the MSM. Disconnect from cable and satellite. Subscribe to unaffiliated news sources. @channel5bluesky.bsky.social is a good starting point. #WETHEPEOPLE
Nope. Disagree. If there are shitters in the Democratic Party that cower before Trump (Jeffries) or that put money before people and law, then fuck them. They deserve to be called out, shamed, and primaried. I don't care who calls them out.
There is definitely a timetable Trump needs to make. His attack on the Federal Reserve screams he needs American cash to give to Russia so they can keep fighting Ukraine. Other countries need to step up and fund Ukraine so when they take out Russia it takes all of the other corrupt leaders down.
They need to stop tying Ukraines hands if missiles we’re raining down on Moscow and Saint Petersburg they would Cannibalize Putin…Europe got caught with it military pants down suckling off the U.S. Military industrial dependency and they know it
Corp news media needs to go.
Ya Reds!!
Truth....
#HeGetsIt do you! Unity wins all the time Republicans are unified in ending democracy..
Mainstream media is dead. @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy @newsmax.com @cnn.com
Blue states are far, far better than red states, not just in the economy, not just education, not just health & quality of life but there's literally A DEATH GAP!! You want to DIE 5 to 10 years EARLIER - go live in a republican governed state and county. MS loser than Bangladesh Think about that!
I'll be honest, I wonder if the life expectancy in FL being in the mid 70s is because of the retirees that came down from blue states and moved to places like Naples and the Villages. I know it's part of life, but I'm somewhat surprised how many folks I grew up along side are no longer here...
Blue states need to cut off the takers.
Don't blame the "mainstream media" when it is mostly owned by billionaires who tipped their hand and supported Trump in the last election. Who do you think ordered their editorial staff to no longer post an endorsement for President? Who keeps "both-sideding"? Them. www.forbes.com/sites/katevi...
Republicans have quickly and repeatedly allied for secession and civil war every time a Democrat is elected President. Don’t be surprised that Republicans are calling for the Federal Government to invade and take over Blue cities and States. Republicans are thirsty for war.
Absolutely!!! Trump has Fox, Newsmax, etc.... only talking positive points. With MS NOW doing better at showing Trump stupidity but still talking division, I really watch less and less of it. Most of my news is from you. Keep it up!!!
How about the blue states use their massive funds to send ‘troops’ to deliver education and pastoral care into the red states? Maybe show the red states what life could be like if they had a real democracy?
MSM has been decapitated by corporate conglomerate ownership…oligarchy.
Again, I hereby nominate Ben Meiselas for Governor Pritzker‘s official anger translator. Using the power granted by me to me by my own false sense of superiority.
I nominate Ben for the position of Governor Pritzker‘s official anger translator.
We have a military invasion heading to Venezuela as well.
Trump must send his military to Tallahassee because Florida is a breeding ground for American criminals and pedophiles. First and foremost: Mar-a-Lago.
Goddammit!!!!
Stop showing ITs image, stop using ITs name and title.. there are plenty of alternatives: bsky.app/profile/ogre...
Blue States must hold back Federal taxes to cover services the Federal government won't pay for after tRump.
THIS >>>> "Stop both-sidesing it, media. Stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party when we literally have military invasions into American cities..." Just stop it - all of ya! --- msnbc, cnn et al Division sown is invasive and takes on a life of its own. Dammit.
Correct. One of the fundamental principles in the Constitution is the protection against minority rule. THAT IS GONE, FOLKS. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS SENDING THE NATIONAL GUARD TO GO AGAINST AMERICAN CITIZENS IN THE US!!!!!!!!!!! THE MEDIA IS A FUCKING FAILURE. THIS IS NOT BOTH SIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The most weaselly or all weasel words in the English language are "legitimate concerns."
I saw an NBC article on Facebook where they referred to Epstein as Maxwell's colleague.
No surprise here…GOP (GASLIGHTING OUR PEOPLE) non stop tells citizens to just ignore & disregard the courts orders!! FOLLOWING THE FELON OF 34s PATHETIC ORDERS!! USA YOUR IN SERIOUS TROUBLE UNLESS YOU STAND UP!
We need to unite not divide. We need everyone to unite to protect our rights, freedoms, and safety.
Most media is owned by white supremacist men who jack off to the Handmaid’s Tale
Will someone listen, Please !!!!!!
Tinmen square, anyone? Non-violent resistance called for in all cities. Not to just cities where Trump calls for deployment. Stop this Authoritarian Creep!
Amen
But there IS “division” within the Democratic Party! There are the old-school polite nice guys who don’t know how to meet MAGA head on, & pathetically few activist angry, proactive & shrewd Democrats who want to fight MAGA fire with Constitutional, legal & moral fire, & NOT just sit down & watch!
Come on now, we’re dealing with a party that has overwhelmingly supported sending bombs to be dropped on starving children in Gaza. When you’re turning to genocidal monsters as salvation against fascism you’re surrendering to fascism.
Yes… and there’s that. At a certain point (we’re well past that point), American Jews, especially NY Jews, who outnumber the Jews of Tel Aviv & Jerusalem combined, need to stop waffling about Bibi’s genocidal, sociopathic & lying-like-tRump ways.
DJ Trump is beautiful in orange. JD Vance is more beautiful with eyeliner. If DJ were to trip over his tie, you'd have a better-looking president in JD. Beautiful eyes.
Legacy media is not on our side. They are not going to be persuaded by logic or shame
Agreed. The logical part of the country with moral fiber need to move on without MSM and without republicans. We need to be louder and show them that we are bigger than they are and we need to send them scurrying back into their holes and we cannot ever let them be relevant again. Ever.
They are owned by R billionaires !!!
Exactly. Our MSM was bought out over the last 20 years.
Dem billionaires,, too. It's about the money, not the party. Term limits. 20k maximum contribution. #pitchforks,tar&feathers Prison is too good. #resist
Um no. R billionaires - except for Murdoch starting FOX -went to CPAC in Hungary to follow what Orban said to do “ Own the media”.
Exactly .. why I don’t follow them for news!
Don’t shoot me, but I’ve enjoyed watching MSNBC anchors tear the shit out of Trump for years. They do not seem conflicted, even if their owners might. This man hates Trump to the core of his being, as does Maddow.
Lawrence is literally the only one I trust. Frankly, I don’t know how he gets away with the stuff he says.
He was calling Trump a demented, racist, lying fool many years ago. People claimed he was overreacting.
Yeah... I think that the Trump era has put the last dagger in the heart of mainstream media. Which is a problem - sources like Meidas touch are good at discussing the news but not so great at discovering the news. These sources will have to be much better funded to be able to break news...
And therein lies the problem: New sources for news need to be better funded to break the news but as soon as they can get that funding then they become legacy media just on a youtube rather than cable.
Yet that's all the pundits do is constantly throw around hypocrisy! It's maddening how they think the media is just not as smart as they are.
Abandon the corporate media. They don't serve us. Starve them and they'll die.
Forming and articulating a precise, defensible position requires 1) the drive to do the work and 2) the courage to contrast evidence against opinion. Our legacy media ran out of both years ago.
the blue states are footing the bill... again
substack.com/@beverly143/...
That’s the point red states are failing and those governors are failures! So obviously they are attacking the blue states that are successful and governors that are successful! What better way to cover your failures as a party then to drag the successful party down! 🧐
Corporate press—grow a damn spine.
And how about Dems stop being stupid and falling for this crap and being selfish and wanting all they want even if it means a fascist is elected and will take us down. I’m tired of all the stupid people in our party who got us into this mess.
Both are true though. They can report on how trump is Hitler 2.0 while the Democratic party is against the American people as well, not in the same way though but also destructive.
I don't mind federal money helping blue states in emergency, but wtf is with blue states subsidizing red states. Isn't that federal welfare??? Is this the status quo DEMs want to preserve??? We need a 3rd party option
Exactly! 👆
Spot on . . .?
about time the blue states withheld taxes to the feds
EPSTEIN.
Tbh, I've encountered here only this week a dozen self-identified « intersectional LGBT-whatever Newsom-hating communist » who will never support Dems despite dicktraitor Pedonald being the Leader Stupidissimo just because the party isn't pure enough for them. They're not any better than magats.
More of this, please. Thank you!
#ReleasetheEpsteinFiles
Our main stream media is absolutely derelict. It’s much of the reason we are where we are teetering on the brink of losing our entire democracy
To be clear, this message needs to be aimed at laypeople and influencers as well. We also bothsides constantly, and try to attack Democrats or pit them against each other with [x] should be [y] leader instead of [z], type comments.
Yeah, I'm getting really tired of the wannabe drama critics complaining about the precise wording a Dem used, or the fact that he didn't show enough "passion" for their taste, etc.
Saaaame. Like, the point of communication is to convey meaning. If you already understood perfectly that someone is calling out Trump, why do you need them to reword it? As someone who gets hit with regular tone policing a lot, this "reverse tone policing" is equally annoying to me.
Yep! This 👆🏽
They are always outvoted, they have to rely on the courts to support them. Dic. has the courts so congested with lawsuits, both ways, it takes forever to get any rulings, and when Dic. loses he appeals, his 50 year modus operendi, create chaos, lie, deny, deflect. Your fascist leader at work.
And we just need every true American Patriot, regardless of party, to fight this. People don’t need to actually switch to the Democratic Party, we just need everyone to stand against Trump/GOP now. That’s it. Country over any party.
There are two sides- Republican Nazi or Other. The Republican Party must be destroyed in the next 3 years or it is over
then mayors crack down on crime. you’re on the losing side on this issue.’
Blue state governors should issue an executive order withholding federal tax contributions AND activate their national guards to protect their states from invasion by red state national guards illegally called up by this traitorous president and coconspirators. If it’s a Civil War, let’s not wait.
UK media needs MeidasTouch. Nigel Farage is a menace and needs removing from the public eye, journalists are failing the UK for not calling him out.
The MSM has completely sold out. The American people deserve better. What happened to freedom of the press and tough questions to our elected leaders from the press? It appears to be non-existent.
When will major independent media outlets like Meidas start to call for open rebellion? General strike? Civil Disobedience writ large?
CNN is a fucking disgrace.
I fear one day they will target, remove, or take control of social media.. they are desperate to block and keep people ignorant as much as possible..
Spot on and we'll said @abc7.bsky.social @nbcnews.com @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social @cbsnews.com @cnn.com @cnn-news.bsky.social @newsnation.bsky.social @chrisccuomo.bsky.social
“But otherwise republicans will call us biased! We have no choice!” Those idiot jackasses have less journalistic commitment than my high school newspaper did!
They say all news media they don't support are biased, so why do you care?
Because there are uninformed potential voters who sometimes read things and walk away thinking both sides have a point when only one does.
Your post seemed to say you simply could not get away with reporting only one side, but Fox has made a religion of doing just that. Hince, my question.
I’m trying to say I object to the effort to making both sides look equal rather than saying one side supports constitutional democracy and the other is contemptuous of it. Or to talk about the BLM protests and the Jan 6 assault on the Capitol as equivalent. Both sides aren’t equal so just say it!
Exactly right!
⚠️ Attention all mainstream media: You are hereby put on notice. It is time. No more "pretty" coverage of Trump. Time to report in real time and call it out as you see it. If not, this will end mainstream media as we've known it. Why?! Because we can't fucking trust you anymore!
The obvious media participation can’t be ignored just because they used to be great.
Which is why you are such a highly rated podcast!! I wish more media outlets would speak out or refuse to bend the knee to the orange tyrant,
Every single reporter that both sides this needs to have a long talk with their conscience. It’s just a fucking job. Quit.
They have to draw attention away from the hell being inflicted upon us by the GOP.
TRUMP CROSSED THE LAST LINE- Banning mail-in ballots & voting machines to CHEAT to Win Midterms Constitution only gives STATES Power Run Elections GOVERNORS- must fight- FIRE With Fire! Believe in the Constitution then say- NO TO TREASON! Because If We Fail Now We Might Not Get Another Chance
Time to ante up media! What the hell is WRONG with you??
Please keep speaking this message. Pundits get on shows and tip toe around an answer or "Chose their words Wisely." U may as well tell people what's real, wen Trumps done, U want have a job anyway cause the Truth will not be in the cards!! 5 Star Alarm remember?
America celebrates holocaust denial every Thanksgiving
So true.
Start calling out Dem leaderships inaction & silence. As long as you continue to give them a pass, we have no one. Newsome can't be everywhere.
I’m old enough to remember the last time A Tyrant sent troops to deny our rights We had a Revolution And created this Nation
Traditional media should be shunned for their total disregard for factually portraying the ongoing coup being wrought by Trump, his enablers, & most importantly, his handlers.
The Main Stream Media is AFRAID OF donald trump!! They are becoming what he says they are... Fake News, BECAUSE THEY "WON'T" REPORT "EVERYTHING HE'S DOING" TO OUT DO HITLER!!!

Top “red” Cities (out of top 20) by Violent Crime Rate 2024 Data typically based on the # of violent incidents per 100,000 residents. Memphis, TN St. Louis, MO Little Rock, AR Cleveland, OH Kansas City, MO Indianapolis, IN Albuquerque, NM Springfield, MO Anchorage, AK Nashville, TN New Orleans, LA
Fuck the Red State's, & Fuck MAGA. I say we succeed as blue States. We have paid extra taxes to help these shit states & kick maga out of blue States & you do you & we will ❤️ everyone. Im from CA & we are #1 In everything we will be ok. #Succession Fuck Republicans & especially idiots of MAGA.
Red states will be out of business, we support the Red States and without the Blue they would be broke and after Trump runs all the weekly earners out, they'll be in worst shape they are too fkng stupid to undertand, and the white racist homophobes will whine all day long
SHOTS WILL FIRED, sooner or later, hopefully sooner so we can past these asswipes
And you need to stop offering a friendly platform for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. He spouts his toothless platitudes without any pushback from you regarding his lack of fight and his not supporting Mamdani. It's not a good look for you, pandering to the feckless. Be better!
Should also be supporting @jessicadenson07.bsky.social and reporting on the ETA / integrity
They're all doing what they do best. Defending capital Infighting in the dems is cuz there's like 3 borderline socialists gaining support. Socialism doesn't protect capital for the wealthy The media has always done this. Keep the focus on individual issues instead of THE issue. Capitalism
As Maddow stated, stop fixating & reporting on what trump is saying. Fixate and report on what he’s doing. Her take on Sergio Gor has yet to make the news
Chris Jansing breaking news almost every day now … “the problem with democrats”
Guess I can’t really say almost every day since I don’t watch every day anymore but it sure seems to come up a lot.
I am convinced this an effing disaster. Trump is doing everything to compromise democracy and persecute all his enemies. And wall stret keeps stroking him.
EPSTEIN!!
They need to stand up and fight. I'm tired of men who tuck their junk between their legs. The women are doing it. FIGHT DAMMIT!
We better learn to stand together pretty GD soon or we won't get another chance! If you have anything bad to say about Democrats in the light of this facist dictator FUCK OFF, you are blocked!
When the military goes into blue states, the money sent by the blue states should stop going to the federal government.
There is division in the Democratic party Schumer, Jeffries, and Harris would rather arm a genocide while Trump sends people to concentration camp than stand against genocide and have a chance at winning. We will not have party unity until the Zionists are removed.
And you’re also full of it. Where was the party unity from people like you before 10/7?
You’re an idiot and using Gaza to make an excuse not to fight for democracy
My plan is to fight for democracy and against genocide. The fact that you think it is even possible to be for genocide while fighting for democracy shows you are detached from reality.
No you are. You are using Gaza as a bullshit pretext for your own antisocial tendencies
Well, the public has never cared about genocide before, so why would they start now? Gazans aren't more important than the Sudanese or Ethiopians. If you've been ignoring all that suffering and only care now, it just looks like a political game to shame Dems rather than the current dancing on graves
The difference is that we dont directly arm the RSF, and we don't have party leaders visiting Sudan or Ethiopia to pledge fealty to the perpetrators. And not living up to our principles doesn't mean we should give up on them, and it doesn't excuse continuing an evil status quo for partisan gain.
But, will they learn⁉️
The question is: CAN they learn. Very little evidence that they have the brain power to do so. Feed themselves yes but actually think!? Nah.
They’re all drunk with power and greed.
Wasted
My relatives don't vote in politics and won't learn due to cynical misinformation.
Who cares? If they're gone, they'll have time to think about it.
you are assuming there will be an election.
Exactly.
We are seeing the beginning of a Civil War.
Yeah, here in OH GOP Gov DeWine sent troops to DC while East Cleveland is crime ridden. But then again, his administration has been crime ridden and gave Washington Vance & Moreno.
The media companies have abandoned reporting truth
I was one of the people during the first Trump administration so pissed off and frustrated with the Jake Tappers and Maggie Habermans who were soft peddling Trump’s authoritarian ways to the masses. I’m not at all surprised at where it’s ended up.
You get what you put up with people. Bitching on social isn't "action".
When the dictatorship takes its final move even the GOP members will not be safe. Why don't they get it?
I wish people would stop watching them. Stop supporting them. Instead I hear “I’m just a news junkie?” Or “it’s important to hear what they’re saying”.
Same here. Their reliability is so terrible right now, thst one has to read sources from outside the US. Even British tabloids are doing a better job at reporting US news at this point. We are not far from having to get our news with a shortwave listening in on RRI or CRI at this point...
Agree completely it's our states that support the us government. Stop sending federal taxes to Washington. Stop paying the tariffs. Taco will cave.
Sending parts of the Armed Services to blue states under the guise of increasing crime is just a cover for setting up the blocking of voters in NOVEMBER elections. Redistricting may not work, but PROVEN right wingers in all parts of the military WILL follow orders to intimidate voters in November.
Civil war redux
Meidas Mighty here. Ben is exactly right, the Democrats are United to keep this garbage heap of red hats from ruining our elections and state houses!!! 💙🇺🇸
Main stream media owners are filled with cowards. Thanks to independent journalists for keep news fair and balanced.
👍
Blue States withhold your Fed Dollars 💵
Its the modern equivalent of the Civil War
OKAY That's it! Blue States need to succeed from the union and become the United States. Take all of our money with us!
#EnactAntiInvasionNat’lGuard in blue cities. 🇺🇸America’s problem is SCOTUS, Representatives & Senators whom were elected to enforce, protect & defend U.S. Laws & Citizens against foreign/domestic enemies, tyranny, criming, etc. All is the current administration. They’ve failed!🧐 #Impeach_VoteThemOut
we need to be hitting the streets
Keep going, Meidas Touch! Our country needs to hear this every day like you have been doing! Thank you for what you do! 👍💙
What would happen if the governors of Virginia and Maryland called up their guards and use them to occupy DC? If it was handled quickly and as a legal matter of self-defense and reacting to treason, who would stop them? Certainly they would know to seize the airports and south lawn quickly.
It is amazing how the mainstream media has been muzzled. They were never this way against Nixon and he was 2/3 as bad as taco. Whoever the 28 Dem candidate is, he has to be better than the American Nazi party candidate. Taco, Vance, Hegseth, whoever.
Let's not lose sight of the fact that these guys are the real problem. Trump couldn't do anything without their support.
AGREE!
Absolutely, none of this happens without Scotus & the Repubs in Congress. It seems impossible that there wd b enough bribes & kickbacks to keep all Republican members in Congress in line. They cd all be cowards, but why would you be afraid of taco? He always fails when anyone stands up against him.
Greed, fear, religious fanaticism, racism, sheer stupidity, ambition and vindictiveness are all major motivations to aiding and abetting evil. And, like with the Mafia, once they're in there is no getting out, safely.
Its his followers, many of which are totally unhinged. Quite a few are highly prone to the use of violence to get their way. Very simplistic in their thought processes and trump harnesses their ignorance and tendencies towards violence to remain in power.
Let's be for real. If they didn't accept bribes they've been strong armed. Look up Tricia McLaughlin and her company called Insurgent Strategies. That's how they all answer questions the same. There's also always people behind their seats when in session pressing, go back and look at footage.
When we regain government control, we should sell the Supreme Court real estate and make them work from the back of a liquor store
The enemy within and enablers of everything the constitution was against. These tossers have made themselves untrustworthy and the most dangerous to American values.
Could there be kompromat on the justices ???
Exactly!
It is also quite noticeable that they are not going into the high criminal areas of the city ! This looks to me like a scare tactic and the real mission is to use the national guard to protect ICE while arresting immigrants!
Ben, secession is on the table. We need to start talking about it. The third world red states will never change. California deserves better than this.
Shout this from rooftops!
How about stop calling Trump president? How about calling what Trump is doing as illegal and that he waging war on America, which is treason. We need Democrats to stop fucking talking & start working w/military, nat'l guard, all levels of state law enforcement: calling it treason gives them tools
Most of the corporate media is too far gone in their addiction to false equivalency to ever give it up. It's one of their crutches to help them believe they are "objective." You'd do just as well asking them to stop horseracing elections.
Disgusting bastards
We need action now! Where are the rule-of-law Coup-Prevention Generals & Local Police arresting corrupt Republican Party, GOP created Monster, GOP Domestic Terrorist Militias & Special GOP Army? After all in jail, let each wait & pay for fair constitutional rule-of-law trail to prove guilt or not.
www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... #TrumpIsARapistAndAFelon
What's with the glasses Ben, you only had a kid the other day. Sleep deficit 😂☕ welcome to fatherhood. No one talks about Proj 2025 but everyone can see it's tentacles all over the US and abroad. ICE, funding withdrawals, assisting Russia it's all by design. White Supremacy is on the march.
People are being kidnapped and trafficked. Cities are invaded. The economy is torpedoed.
Fuck the dominant narrative. They are manipulating the image, dare I say the Reality, of what is going down in cities and towns Everywhere in America. The protests are massive and regular, boycotts are getting traction, we need some more strikes and outreach. People ARE waking up! Keep the faith!
there will always be differences in the Democratic Party. Not a bad thing. And literally irrelevant at the moment.
Maybe blue state governor should send their military to red states. Fight fire with fire.
My thoughts exactly.
‼️‼️‼️
Block the enragement trolls, folks. Everyone spewing that nonsense that if you don't agree w them 100% of the time, you're equal to someone that they agree with 0% of the time
Report in Australian news, instead of saying Fascist, they call it “personality drive” “It is moving the US much closer to personality-driven emerging market policies and the way nations like Hungary or Turkey are governed.”
Remember: Project 2025: Trump's Presidential Transition Project in 5 points shorturl.at/GG33p
We don’t have many journalists anymore. We have folks who read what’s put in front of them. Soft owners who put profits ahead of integrity. News channels designed for entertainment. No black & white facts letting the consumer decide, spoon fed here’s what you should believe
💯💯💯💯
Seriously❗️❗️❗️💜✊🏻💜
Media needs to report fact. Leave it at that. Americans are smart enough to see what this means. Military members in countless families are making them well aware too. If true journalism returns, a change will happen in this nation. As long as it remains politicized, MAGA will go 'ostrich'.
I think Democrats should allow a government shutdown this time so ICE and National Guard can’t be funded. It’ll be a sacrifice on all our parts, but it would be better than this dictatorship.

I read this 2 nights ago and was very encouraged cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f...
It’s a better way!
If the dems shut down the government, Trump will just spin it as "The dems shut down the government and nobody noticed. Therefore we are going to fire more of them"
Trump will use emergency authority to find those agencies.
We need to do what we can.
#GeneralStrike #resist Shut it down like Covid. They will wake the fuck up. Anything short and they will incarcerate.
This is the answer. But I guess it’s easier for most on here to bitch about democrats than to do the one thing that would be a magic bullet because it requires themselves to act and not someone else they can just blame and feel good.
For sure but a shutdown is probably the riskiest thing you could do. As many, including myself, have explained before- a shutdown only eases the task of dismantling the government and expedites the removal of more guardrails of accountability.
The deadly mega bill already passed, so I am unsure if there can be a government shutdown.
Seriously? As you sit there watching it dismantled in real time your concern is it MIGHT dismantle faster? Good god. This country is over. Dead at the hands of the entitled and comfortable who want their safe world back, but at no cost to themselves.
The centrist/moderate dem trolls want to demoralize so they don't want to become part of any war. They've never known an ounce of hard work in their lives.
So I’ll put you down for a ‘fascist ludicrous speed edition’. That’s totally not worse than trying to slow the spread until the public can muster a response. lol You need to learn how to logic.
Hopefully he can’t do all of them.
Look at who controls congress (no check on his actions from republicans) and the composition of the Supreme Court (they make him a king at every opportunity). It will be a simple move for him. And sadly, any legal challenge won’t move fast enough to prevent the damage.
I’m aware. We need to do what we can.
National Guard according to some have not been paid yet anyway. That is how disorganized the defense dept under Hegseth is.
Exactly!! And I’m now blocking accounts that are sowing division between Dems while our democracy burns to the ground. The time for looking inward is LONG GONE! As B. Franklin famously said, we must all hang together or assuredly we will hang separately!
I’m blocking them too They are a waste of time
Support & serve your communities, revolt federal tax that we are paying to fund our own terrorism raids
Could the partisan extremism get any more absurd? Get out of your echo chambers. The resultant person growth might be painful. It will be worth it in the long run.
And the red-state "Welfare Queens" are all for it! As long as they can take our money to shore up their failing systems? They're all for Socialism now!
I think it's time we admit that Free Press is nearly extinct on network media.

There’s a clear right and wrong here. There are three branches of government for a reason. Each branch is supposed to be independent. The Supreme Court is corrupt and republicans in Congress are corrupt. We are not functioning the way our government is supposed to function.
But how can the branches be independent when two of them are Party run and one is Party appointed (and now of course also Party run)? 🤷♀️
Right. Run by dishonest and cheating politicians.
Inevitably.
Trump has seen to it that he controls it all so there is no independent function. He is being enabled by corrupt politicians.
There used to be a time when Congress and the Senate and the courts wanted to protect their own power in a selfish way. They’d fight back against the White House even if only to conserve their own power . The founders counted on it. That has seemingly all gone out the window in the last 10 years.
Ya THINK?
I used to have an upside down flag for my profile until South Park started and then I decided this one was too much fun!
Nobody is dividing anything but the moderate Dems who don't have the balls to challenge anything Trump does. But they do bitch about the progressives.
I live in Ohio. Called Dewine’s office and emailed him. No response
Democratic Governors we are at the Avengers Assemble phase of Fascism. They need to be working together!!!
cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f... As noted, they already are. This article details everything they're doing.
Thank you
That stage was a long time ago. We're now at *things have been buring down for a while* "where the fuck are the avengers?!" But only like 3 showed up in different places
They are.
SERIOUSLY
@governor.ca.gov @jensiebelnewsom.bsky.social @govpritzker.illinois.gov
Democrats, stop trying to sow division within the Democratic Party.
I am appalled at all of the news websites I can no longer read as they kiss the dictators feet. I am praying the Lord does the world a favor but we need more than one.

This administration doesn't believe in Federalism. They believe in power by force or coercion (lawsuits). Amazing the GOP culture is 100% Trump. He told them all they wouldn't need to vote again. By that, he will seed himself into each new GOP front runner, and no MAGA voter will have options.
They are both-sidesing because it's the safest option cowards would take while appearing to be talking about the issues.
Major media news orgs have failed us. Greed has overtaken journalism. Fuck ‘em.
Why are we not seeing all this on MSM, why are we not seeing the ICE raids, the national guard invasions, the demise of democracy should be front and center. Instead we hear about Sting being sued, or should we rent or buy a home..Who cares
Yes Meidas. The pattern I detect is a bunch of Russian bots keep saying Democrats have “lost the working people.” It’s like victim blaming. Bots post Blacks saying Democrats didn’t do enough for us, men’s support for Trump outpacing women’s support for Dems and a piece on losing DNC voters in NYT
Our media is a joke. Too many millionaires being paid by billionaires to screw us over, mislead us, and divide us.
Tom Llamas is the new king of soft news. What a marshmallow.
👍👏👏🤗 Tell them!

UGH… Our brave military should be doing the jobs they were trained to do. Get OFF our streets! This is NOT The United States of America. This is The Divided States of America. I hate it. Everything Trump is doing is illegal… Why can’t something be done to stop him?
