I had no idea what would happen when I made this. I was scared for our country. I had an idea. And I went ahead and put together this video. We posted it. I made lunch. And when I came back to my phone, I was flooded with notifications. My life basically changed in that moment.

Ben Meiselas on the significance of independent media in the Trump era:
He thought he would bulldoze over us. He controlled the institutions, the media.
But people created independent news and media platforms that stood up, and citizen journalists became journalists.
We built the new structures that got out the truth and pushed out the information during this critical time.
And that gives me hope.

@BMeiselas 🔥🔥🔥🔥
🚨 WOW! Brett Meiselas absolutely RIPS into Trump:
"This is why you don't put a CRIMINAL into office in the first place. This is why we arrest criminals. This is why they go to prison so that they can't commit more crimes. Instead, we put a fraudster into office. What do you think he's going to do? He's going to commit fraud."
"This is someone impeached for an extortion scheme. And now he's extorting the American people."
"This is a PREDATOR. He is now being a predator against the American people."

Ukrainian journalist @IAPonomarenko on witnessing the aftermath of Russian attacks on civilians trying to flee.
“Half-burnt bodies lying on the asphalt” beside the wreckage of their cars.
“It looks like something that resembles…seventh gates of hell.”
“Something that you would expect to see in horror movies, but it's absolutely reality.”

One of the coolest parts of releasing WTF America?! has been visiting local bookstores, signing copies, and meeting the wonderful people who make these places so special.
Huge thanks to Vroman’s and Flintridge Bookstore for the love and support. Please support your local independent bookstores!
Trump's attempts to bribe and extort the American people will only make things worse for him
Brett Meiselas: Here we are, two years in, and we have significantly higher prices and a Middle East war. And he’s still holding back a lot of the Epstein files.
And you see all of these failed promises… that’s why I think Trump’s strategy of dangling these promises, I actually think that only makes things worse because people don’t believe that stuff. And now they keep saying, “Oh, he’s trying to con me again. I fell for it once two years ago. I’m not going to fall for this BS again.”
You can only get away with that game for so long.
Donald Trump is a real sicko.
Brett Meiselas: The American people are really struggling right now, and they're not concerned about how good Husted's backside looks, even though Donald Trump wants to bring that up at every rally. They're concerned about high prices. They're concerned about the price of gas. They're concerned about the war.

Donald Trump is a criminal and a predator doing criminal and predator things
Brett Meiselas: This is why you don’t put a criminal into office in the first place. This is why we arrest criminals. This is why they go to prison, so that they can’t commit more crimes. Instead, we put a fraudster into office. What do you think he’s going to do? He’s going to commit fraud.
This is someone who was impeached for an extortion scheme, and now he’s extorting the American people. This is why you don’t put a predator in office. He is now being a predator against the American people. What do you expect he’s going to do when he’s in office? He’s doing all of these things.
And I just think back to former President Joe Biden’s term, when he went out of his way to make sure that people in red states were taken care of, whether it was with stuff like the Infrastructure Act or the CHIPS Act, or when there was aid to be delegated out for natural disasters.
And what did Trump and MAGA do? They attacked the guy over and over again. Despite all of that, now you have Trump literally dangling the stuff in front of them, attacking our troops who are suffering from cancer and other diseases due to this toxic waste, and Donald Trump is now just laughing in their faces. It’s such a disgrace.
