By Ben Meiselas It’s Ben Meiselas, co-founder of the MeidasTouch Network. Hang in there and stay strong, Meidas Mighty. Hold the line. Stay mighty. Democracy summer is upon us!! The No Kings Protest on June 14 is around the corner and is going to be massive. Spread the word. The MeidasTouch Network will be covering it every step of the way. The Trump regime will continue to get more dangerous as it gets more desperate. The Trump regime is accelerating its authoritarian actions. This means the MeidasTouch Network needs to rapidly accelerate our expansion to get in front of more Americans and more people around the world (Remember to add the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and share it to keep this momentum going). I have more I want to share in this post, but let me quickly thank our subscribers to this Substack now. Let me humbly ask that anyone who is not a subscriber to this Substack please subscribe now or gift a subscription to someone you know. We need your help. We don’t have outside investors and we beat Fox and Rogan and all cable news in views and downloads thanks to our subscribers here. Please support the independent media you know and love at MeidasTouch by subscribing now and sharing this with others you know. Back to my post… This week Trump officially accepted the Qatari 747 jet. Trump and the MAGA cult pushed through the most disastrous budget in American history. The murder bill, I call it. Trump shamed the United States in his meeting with the South African President. Trump held a corrupt dinner with his top meme coin holders. Trump issued an order taking away visas of foreign students at Harvard—and then quickly lost in federal court over the order. Trump threatened to tariff Apple and caused it to lose $80 billion in market value. Trump threatened 50 percent tariffs against Europe and called his tariff threat a “deal.” Trump gave up on negotiating a peace deal with Russia and Ukraine after speaking with Putin and did not impose sanctions on Putin. Trump is cheerleading for Putin. This is just a handful of the disastrous and pathetic things he did this week. It’s easy to predict where this is all headed, isn’t it? You know what I mean… martial law. Trump is dabbling right now with declaring martial law and suspending habeas corpus. The dabbling will soon become a full-fledged assault. He wants an excuse and pretext to actually do it. He will do it soon. He’s losing patience. His actions have been designed intentionally to create pain and suffering and to trigger backlash—which he will use as a pretext to declare martial law. We need to be ready for it. We are not living in a democracy right now. America is an authoritarian nation right now, and we must treat it and confront it as such. We must understand who our real allies are and who are not. We have built the biggest independent news network to confront this reality. We are ready to meet the moment now. We are ready when the sicko felon sexual abuser ultimately declares martial law and suspends habeas corpus. The good news is Trump and his regime have been weakened, thanks to you. He’s lost key support and is deeply unpopular, which makes his task of shutting down the opposition harder for him. Corporate news tried to cover for him and flushed themselves down the orange toilet, soiled in his putrid fascistic stench. The good news is that corporate news has been weakened, thanks to you. It can’t give Trump the cover he expected, since most Americans and people around the world now get their news from MeidasTouch or our hosts, partners, and affiliates. This is why, when I got back from our trip to New York this week, I’m sure you’ve noticed I’ve been working around the clock to build out the infrastructure of the MeidasTouch Network even more. Our coverage of the GOP murder bill couldn’t stop the disgusting MAGAs from passing it in the House, but we definitely got the word out to Americans about how dangerous the bill is—and what’s really in it—in the face of MAGA deceit. I am also proud of launching the partnership with Katie Phang this week and seeing her YouTube channel get over 120k subscribers in 24 hours. We have a lot of work to do. We’ve got to roll up our sleeves, keep our heads down, and stick together. We are being out-funded by billions of dollars by the right-wing news machine that wants us shut down. Yet, we still have a bigger audience size than them now. So that means we can’t get complacent. We have no outside investors, so we need your help. If you are not subscribed, please subscribe to this Substack now—and if you are a subscriber, you can also gift subscriptions to people you know. I think you’ve all seen how the subscriptions here have helped us grow the media network to what it is today. I am confident independent news is the future of news, and it’s here today—and this is how we grow. So let’s grow. Let’s fight. And let’s prepare for some of the most difficult—but rewarding—days that are now arriving. We’ve got this, Meidas Mighty! |
