Aaron, do you have protection/security? Like, do we need to crowdfund for a bodyguard for you? I wish I was joking.

aurora☀️'s avatar

Agree. We can all pitch in to help!!!

I’ve donated a couple of times using Venmo. It’s a great way to give with in your budget, and when it’s financially a good time for an individual to give.

I'd increase my monthly subscription a fair bit to make sure he stays safe and protected

April's avatar

Ugg...I can't do squat financially for 2 weeks. I can sure rally others, tho!

Lorna B's avatar

I’ve donated extra through his Venmo. It’s a great way to give what works on your budget, and timing.

April Karns's avatar

I agree with the need for security!! Crowdfund for journalism and democracy and Aaron!!!

Johnny K's avatar

Seriously though, can we voluntarily up our subscription cost? I'm not super familiar with the substack UI. When I subscribed, I thought $7 a month was too low for how much I want to support this man.

Jen Valente's avatar

Agree! I’d pay $10/month for this Substack. Aaron is fabulous! Or maybe he could do a Patreon if he doesn’t want to raise the Substack price?

Phyllis Robinson's avatar

I don’t have much, on social security, but willing to sacrifice what I can for your safety ❤️🇺🇸💙

Natalie's avatar

You're an angel, Phyllis. It often seems that those who have less are the most generous.

Phyllis Robinson's avatar

Ty sweetie just want to help and support my country and those fighting in the trenches 💯💙🇺🇸🙏🏽

Girl, we got you…you’re here, that’s what matters.

Aaron has hinted before that he has security. I really hope it does. I would also subscribe for more too.

Joan Presky's avatar

I’m already a subscriber and would donate to a fund. Someone PLEASE tag or message me on threads or bluesky or facebook or instagram. I’m not skilled on substack. Thanks I really want to help. Aaron’s work is invaluable.

Lorna B's avatar

I am a subscriber, but I have also given extra through Venmo. When he asks for people to subscribe, he also says you can give a donation through Venmo. I like the fact I can pick and choose to give according to my budget, and have done so a couple of times. It’s a great way to give the amount you are comfortable with.

Melani's avatar

I support this. I’m also enraged and fuming!!! How dare they! Aaron, you’ve been gentlemanly, honest and forthright. You also are an excellent writer /journalist using all the tools facts and resources you uncover. No one has ground to stand on with their lies and vulgarity, THREATS. I’m praying and behind you!! 💪🏼🙏🏼👍🏼

Please be safe! There are crazy’s out there.

Bodhi's avatar

We could also contribute to his work via his Venmo account

I’m a subscriber also but I did donate just a bit through his Venmo account —if he still has that?

I love the idea of “Crowdfunding for journalism and democracy and Aaron”

Debbie Riches's avatar

I am in if Aaron needs some help.

Count me in on a fund to protect Aaron

Just say the word Aaron. You have a lot of support here.

A2theG's avatar

I’m in too! Aaron, tell us how we can help.

April's avatar

Time to light up Aaron's Venmo. I'd feel a whole lot better if he had some security. People have been harmed or killed for less. They're not above taking opposition and truth all the way out.

Chelsea “Chels” S's avatar

I mean, Kashoggi's murder proved that. (Sorry if misspelled.)

Mary's avatar

Just be safe. Sending positive energy

Susie's avatar

Corporate Media disgusts and infuriates me as well. Love your Substack. You are always spot on in your observations and assessments. We need more Aarons

in this world, and less Jake Tappers.

James Murphy's avatar

Absolutly...many less Tappers needed in this world.

Phyllis Robinson's avatar

We need to flood Florida state bar with specific legitimate charges and complaints of her illegal, immoral conduct 💙🇺🇸💯

Charles Shoemaker's avatar

Is Florida where Dear Pamela is registered?

Terry's avatar

As if mental acuity drops because you're diagnosed with prostate cancer that's spread to the bones. What does Tapper claim is trump is diagnosis then? What's mind blowing is how maga claim Biden knew about this years ago. What don't they understand about the word aggressive.

Please, let's see trump's physicals. Let's see the hospital report from when his ear was supposedly shot at. Let's see any medical reports, physicals that trump has had.

We are furious right along with you Aaron. We collectively stand by you and will defend you.

Kathryn Murphy's avatar

I am infuriated too! Sending a complaint about Bondi to the Florida Bar.

Gail Talbot's avatar

I sent a complaint against Bondi to the Florida Bar as well.

Kathryn Murphy's avatar

I actually got a response but it basically said they can’t investigate her while she is in office. So maddening

Pam's avatar

Don’t get mad. They want to make you quit. Just stay the course and know that if you weren’t threatening them, they wouldn’t write about you! Keep up the good work!

Joan Presky's avatar

A Chinese dissident tonight on 60 Minutes discussed threats against her by the Chinese govt as efforts to intimidate her. It’s no different here. We will stand with those like Aaron who do the important work for the rest of us.

Robinette Kelly's avatar

We fully support you, Aaron. Stay safe, please! We will pitch in for whatever you need. You have a great following.

E. C.'s avatar

Just subscribed because I’ll be damned if they silence you. Let us know if you need our support for security.

Deana Bushell's avatar

Aaron, be safe. We all stand with you. We know you will not comply in advance. They are afraid of you. This is why bullies try to scare you.

Melissa Stewart's avatar

Be safe Aaron, you have an army behind you if you need us!!!

Toni Klich's avatar

Stay safe. I have written multiple emails to CNN about how disgusted I am with them and Jake Tapper

KPB's avatar

Aaron—be safe. People are reading and supporting you. Don’t watch or read CNN. It used to be pretty sane. Now, just another MaGA schill.

S. Michelle's avatar

Me too. I used to watch CNN during the election. But since the regime went into office I found independent media online and Aaron. That's where I get my news now.

Terry's avatar

CNN is run by Republicans. It has been for awhile. To me, it's Fox 2.0.

Laurieanne's avatar

Keep telling the truth. Scream it from the shores to the hills. We will be here with you and for you.

Carolyn Rowe's avatar

Wow, I loved the 'stenographers to power' line. Very powerful.

And of course Joe Biden is in all of our hearts who can remember what democracy was like.

I look forward to hearing more of your voice in this time of darkness!

Maureen Maxwell's avatar

All of those that love your offerings of TRUTH will stand behind you a ]dn MANY MORE Powerful People...Honest we will stand behind YOUR TRUTHS!

Charlene Ramsy's avatar

Subscribed to help. Thank you for all you do. Stay safe.
