A MeidasTouch New Year Together…A Message from Ben

Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network Dec 31

Written by Ben Meiselas

On behalf of the MeidasTouch Network, I want to wish you a Happy New Year.

I know 2024 didn’t end the way we had hoped, but in the darkness, I see many signs of hope.

MAGA is at war with itself.

Americans are waking up to Trump’s massive grift and con (I wish they had earlier).

Trump is still losing his civil cases in federal courts, like his massive loss in the E. Jean Carroll appeal.

Foreign leaders are standing up to Trump.

Corporate media that brought us and promoted the Trump sh*t show is facing a death spiral, and independent media, led by the MeidasTouch Network, is now soaring.

Perhaps I am the congenital optimist, as President Biden told me he was during our interview, but I feel optimistic about 2025.

I feel this way because, like you, I refuse to be a passive bystander to the MAGA wrecking ball.

I pledged—and have devoted my life—to being an agent of change, and together, with you, we will work to bring generational change to America and the world for the better.

I feel confident if we work hard together, the pendulum will quickly swing back to pro-democracy and normalcy.

You are needed in this moment.

The Meidas Mighty is the force that can make a big difference in this historic moment.

With zero outside investors, and with your help through subscriptions to this Substack, we have now built the infrastructure that is finally capable of fighting back and winning the info war—with the truth, compassion, and love.

There is still a lot more we need to build together to continue to grow and stay at the cutting edge of all the new modalities of communication.

Even though you and I may have never met in person, or even seen each other virtually, I have likely read your comment or seen your likes, or seen your social media posts, or seen your photo or icon Substack sends me when you become a subscriber. I know the reason the MeidasTouch Network has grown so fast is because of you, the Meidas Mighty, who share this network with others. Even if we haven’t met, I feel a deep sense of community here.

I am grateful that I play the role I do in this community, but I am even more grateful for the sacrifices you make for your family, your communities, this community, this country, and the world.

If I could ask for your indulgence with one favor today, it is this:

Please hold your head up high today.

Please be proud of who you are and of your life’s work.

I am proud of you.

There is no Meidas Mighty without you.

I am proud of what you have accomplished.

I am proud to call you a friend.

I am excited about the work we have in store together in 2025 and beyond.

I am excited about the possibilities that exist for making the world a better place if we work hard together.

And that we will in 2025.

My brothers and I, and our team at the MeidasTouch Network, will be by your side in this fight every step of the way. Every. Step. Of. The. Way.

You got this. We got this.

Shout out to the Meidas Mighty, and Happy New Year.
