People ask me all the time what they should do if they want to make change. The number one thing I always tell them is to use their voice, because their voice is their power. It doesn’t matter how many followers you have. It doesn’t matter how big your audience is or how much attention you get.
You could have one follower or ten million—it makes no difference. You still have influence. You still have power. People notice what you say, what you share, and what you care about. Every single person has the ability to reach someone else, to plant a seed, to change a mind, or to inspire action.
Before anything else, I want to thank you for giving me this platform. For showing up. For reading, sharing, and caring about this work. None of this happens without you. Every person who joins this work is helping build a structure that can stand against disinformation, censorship, and apathy. If you’re already subscribed, thank you—you’re part of the reason this community continues to grow. If you haven’t yet, consider subscribing today.
We’re expanding our team, launching new reporting initiatives, and building a network of journalists and storytellers who care deeply about accuracy, fairness, and humanity. We are growing across the political spectrum, connecting with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike, because truth shouldn’t belong to one side. It belongs to everyone.
Every time you speak, you start a ripple. That ripple spreads to someone else who might be waiting for a reason to speak out too. That’s how movements begin. That’s how change takes root. When your voice joins with others, that power multiplies in ways that are impossible to predict but undeniable when it happens. Together, we can shift the narrative, challenge the lies, and make space for truth again.
Tomorrow, you’ll have the chance to be part of that power in action. What’s happening will be historic—the largest protest in American history. Millions of people will be raising their voices side by side, demanding accountability and justice. This moment is not just about politics; it’s about people standing up for their values and refusing to be silent.
Tomorrow, I’ll be on the ground in Washington, D.C., at the No Kings Day protest, credentialed as press. My badge will give me access to the speakers and the crowds, to the voices that are too often ignored by the establishment. I’ll be there to listen, to document, and to share what this moment feels like from the ground up.
Earlier today, I spoke with Ezra Levin, one of the main organizers of the protests. He told me that there are over 2,600 coordinated events planned worldwide. More than ten million people are expected to march, chant, and take part in collective action. Think about that: ten million people choosing to use their voices at the same time. That’s not chaos—that’s democracy in motion. It’s humanity refusing to be divided or silenced.
This scale of participation doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of years of exhaustion, frustration, and determination from people who have watched institutions crumble and promises break. It’s a reminder that people don’t give up easily. They adapt, they organize, and they rise again.
I know these times feel heavy. I know many of you are burnt out, tired of seeing the same injustices play out again and again. I know it’s hard to keep reading, watching, and caring when it feels like things aren’t changing fast enough. But this is exactly when your voice matters most.
When institutions fail, when truth is buried under misinformation, and when it feels like no one is listening, it’s independent voices that cut through the noise. It’s people like you who share the truth, talk to your neighbors, and keep the conversation alive. That’s what we’re building—a platform that refuses to look away, that refuses to let corruption or chaos drown out compassion and clarity.
Independent media is not just a project—it’s a movement. It’s the collective effort of countless individuals who believe that the truth still matters. It’s about protecting the idea that power should always answer to the people, not the other way around. That’s why I keep asking for support, not for me, but for the work itself. Because if we don’t build something different, we’ll keep relying on systems that were never designed to tell the whole story.
The systems around us may be broken, but we are not. Our collective voice, rooted in truth, courage, and care for one another, can break through and be louder than ever. What we are building together isn’t temporary—it’s the beginning of something lasting.
Together, we’re not just watching history happen. We’re writing it, recording it, and making sure the truth is never erased.
