🙏 A Personal Ask Tonight — Help Me Keep This Free for the Masses
We’re at 3,120 members. I wish I didn’t have to ask, but we only grow when I do — help me launch the daily video program and keep every story free. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Good evening from New Jersey and As-Salaam-Alaikum to each of you!
Family, I want to speak to you plainly. I’ve learned something the hard way: we only grow when I ask. So I’m asking — not for a tip, but to keep a promise.
I pledge to keep this platform free for the world on purpose — for readers in Gaza, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, and so many other places where paying for journalism is impossible. I have young students who read these pieces daily to learn the law and the truth in plain English. I will not put a price tag between them and the facts. When our most generous readers chip in, we can keep it free for everyone who can’t.
We’re at 3,120 members. When we grow, we can launch the new daily video program, with the documents on screenand the receipts you can pause and share — and we can do so much more.
If the work here matters to you, please become a member today. If you’re able, join monthly, annually, or as a founding member. Your membership is how we keep this community strong and this work accessible to the world.
What your membership makes possible right now:
Keeps everything free for readers who can’t pay — in war zones, in poverty, in classrooms.
Funds the daily video program (and the two hires who make it real: an editor and a producer).
Puts receipts on screen — court filings, budgets, maps — so nobody can gaslight you.
Builds public tools (indexes, explainers, timelines) that help people act, not just read.
Protects time for hard reporting told with moral clarity — the stories mainstream media ignores.
I’m asking humbly, if you’ve ever said, “I’ll join later,” let later = tonight. And if you’ve already joined, would you please send this to three people who believe we need journalism that doesn’t blink?
We don’t have the millions of subscribers that the biggest outlets boast about. We have you — and a clean allegiance: we tell the truth, and we side with the oppressed. That’s the work. That’s the promise. And that’s what your membership keeps alive.
Please become a member — or, if you’re able, join monthly, annually, or as a founding member. Thank you for letting me ask. Thank you for helping me keep this free for the world.
Love and appreciate each of you.
Your friend and brother,
Shaun
Thank you all so much for your support. I literally can't do this work without you.
Really sad I cannot do a paid subscription. I have brought you to the attention of some people who might. Really appreciate your writing and your goals. Thank you.
