I’m a #Meidas super fan, so great to get more of their backstory in this piece from The Guardian. Meidas is the news and information we all need and deserve. They help make sense of - and reframe - the bizarre, lopsided, and unhinged MSM “reporting” in these times.

‘We’re fighting for you!’ Podcaster Ben Meiselas on taking on the Maga media – and winning the ratings battle

His channel, MeidasTouch, puts out 15 videos a day exposing Republican failings – and it is getting bigger audiences than Joe Rogan’s. Is this the champion the American left has been waiting for?

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Here's a reminder of some of the influence Epstein's network had on science--he funded scientists at prestigious institutions, and this network had a big influence in science communication. 🧪

Jeffrey Epstein and the Power of Networks

The billionaire child rapist bought his way into an elite crowd of intellectuals that defined the last three decades of science, tech, and culture.

If you have anxiety & don't respond well to gunfire then you need to do more than some safety tips. These enforcers are going to assault/main you for your beliefs. This is a war where only one side wants to kill the other. Protest armed & with other armed people if you want safety.

murderedbybluesky.bsky.social @murderedbybluesky.bsky.social · 2h

Its great seeing all the "No Kings" coverage but I don't see how its even going to make a difference when VRA is about to be killed. No protest is going to cut it now, its we form an army/mob to demand proper representation & law or we accept our slavery willingly.

Military isn't coming to help us

It's too late for me but, I know there's a lot of you people out there that can go out & get animal costumes for the No Kings march on Saturday. It's been said let's make fun of Trump. We should make fun of the whole support system of lap dogs that carry out his orders. All Hail the Frog!🐸🐰🐶🦒🐸

Literally not a single one of the No Kings-related lists I’ve seen mentions trans rights. Society’s collective ability to look past the erasure of an entire demographic
is really staggering. The plight (and fight) of trans people is symbolic of No Kings. I wish people understood intersectionality.
