Shoutout to the amazing work of independent media company @MeidasTouch Network on @YouTube & IG. This is a channel setup by 3 Long Island brothers in 2020.
Ben Meiselas (an an attorney who represented former NFLplayer Colin Kaepernick), Jordan Meiselas (a marketing guy), and Brett Meiselas.
They unapologetically provide what they call “Pro Democracy journalism” and unlike many major networks they don’t answer to billionaire owners in what they are allowed to report. In particular they provide very detailed coverage of where law and politics meet with several experienced lawyers on their channel.
Their YT is poised to hit 3 million subscribers (now at 2.97M !), so please do check them out, and subscribe to help them reach 3 million. It’s some of the most detailed coverage of US election, and calls out the lies and misinformation being put out by a certain candidate.
If world democracy and climate change matter to you, please check them out and share/subscribe

.@KamalaHarris was born for this moment. She is simply flawless. And perhaps my favorite thing about her is that she does not possess a single shred of fear when it comes to Donald Trump. Yet still grasps the existential threat that his return to power would pose.
#DNC2024
Predictions for 2024:
- A few days or weeks before the election a false story will begin to spread on social media allegedly implicating Kamala Harris of terrible things. It will be based on“hacked material”.
- Elon Musk will reshare it to 160 million people with a simple “!”
- Conservatives will cheer.
- Harris will still win and MAGA will once again claim the election was rigged without any evidence.
- Harris will certify the election for her victory and MAGA will claim that the process is unfair.
- Harris will become the 47th president despite a whole slew of lies being propagated by the usual suspects on social media.
BREAKING: Donald Trump gets devastating news as billionaire Mark Cuban and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman join forces and unite over 100 venture capitalists to back Kamala Harris for president.
And it gets even better...
"We spend our days looking for, investing in and supporting entrepreneurs who are building the future," reads the "VCs for Kamala" website. "We are pro-business, pro-American dream, pro-entrepreneurship, and pro-technological progress."
"We also believe in democracy as the backbone of our nation," the site goes on. "We believe that strong, trustworthy institutions are a feature, not a bug, and that our industry — and every other industry — would collapse without them."
"That is what’s at stake in this election. Everything else, we can solve through constructive dialogue with political leaders and institutions willing to talk to us. In this pivotal moment, we are united in our support for Vice President Kamala Harris," it reads.
The announcement is a powerful rebuke to far-right Silicon Valley billionaires like Elon Musk who have thrown their support behind Donald Trump's fascist movement in the hopes of more tax cuts.
Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Mark Cuban and his allies for supporting Kamala — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

BREAKING: Michigan's Supreme Court rules that Republican lawmakers unconstitutionally subverted a proposal supported by voters to raise the state's minimum wage — paving the way for better pay.
MAGA is furious and it gets even better...
The 4-3 ruling will likely raise the state's minimum wage of $10.33 by at least $2 by February, making a world of difference for hardworking Americans living paycheck to paycheck.
Cost-of-living increases will be applied up through 2029. On top of that, tipped workers will be receive the same minimum by 2029, a marked improvement over the current situation in which some are paid as little as $3.84 an hour.
"We have finally prevailed over the corporate interests who tried everything they could to prevent all workers, including restaurant workers, from being paid a full, fair wage with tips on top," said Saru Jayaraman, president of One Fair Wage, a nonprofit organizing group.
This is what can happen when you vote for Democrats! Instead of tax cuts for the rich and corporate handouts, you get concrete improvements to the lives of real people.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you support raising the minimum wage — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Tonight at his rally, Trump:
—Said he told NATO allies he wouldn’t defend them against Russia
—Praised Hannibal Lecter, a fictional cannibal
—Promised to appoint a Project 2025 leader to his administration
—Promised to round up immigrants into mass detention camps
—Said he didn’t know what NATO was when he was president
—Praised the Supreme Court for giving him criminal immunity
—Promised to pardon January 6 insurrectionists
—Praised a self-described white nationalist
—Played QAnon music
This all deserves more media coverage.
Spicy summary of the day: 1. One bad debate should not trigger a massive disruption and debilitating party meltdown 2. The media’s arrogant and hysterical reaction showed their naivitee and utter disregard for voters who chose him as nominee 3. HOWEVER if he cannot appear unscripted in interviews and/or town halls this will be untenable. It is mystifying why he hasn’t done this. 4. The notion that someone other than Kamala could be dropped in is absurd and misunderstands who is the heart and soul of the party 5. So if Biden cannot quickly get out there with full visibility he must create a pathway for her to be the nominee 6. The campaign against the fascist Trump and corrupt court simply needs an able messenger
Colby constantly regurgitates Russian propaganda, so it’s unsurprising that Russia is pleased by his policy agenda.
In normal times, Russia co-opting members of their party would have been a five alarm fire for the GOP, but now it’s at least tacitly encouraged.
Holy shit, despite the bad news from SCOTUS today, @Lawrence unveils a silver lining that ensures a ton of January 6th evidence is seen BEFORE THE ELECTION. 🔥
Between now and November 5th, I'm going to be busting my ass to ensure that trumpism is defeated and repudiated thoroughly.
trumpism is ignorance.
trumpism is intolerance.
trumpism is hatred.
trumpism is a cult.
If you want to keep going to your dumb rallies, wearing your dumb red hats, and waving your stupid trump flags, and pretending that trump looks like Rocky Balboa in the third movie, then go ahead.
If you want to keep donating all of your money to a guy who bragged nonstop about how rich he is, then by all means continue, but STFU about how much eggs cost.
But you don't get to subject the rest of us to your stupid fever dream, your desire for "revenge" through a fucking moron who has been BANKRUPT 6 TIMES, impeached twice, and convicted of 34 FELONIES.
Many of us believe that Presidents should inspire people to be better and their behavior should reflect our highest standards.
To any objective observer whose head isn't firmly planted in their ass, trump is lowlife scum, a bum, someone you warn your kids "don't be like that maniac."
You can follow him and buy his Bibles and sneakers and digital cards all you want, but the rest of us want nothing to do with him.
And we'll prove it to you AGAIN on November 5th.
