🧭 Why I’m Asking You to Become a Member of The North Star Today

As-Salaam-Alaikum and greetings to each of you!

I want to be direct.

Over the years, I’ve told the truth about police violence, genocide, mass incarceration and so much more with as much clarity, pain, conviction, and urgency as I could. I’ve told it through bans. Through censorship. Through platform erasure. Through chronic pain and surgeries and financial pressure. Through being canceled over and over again. And I’ve kept going.

But here’s the truth I’ve come to accept:

This work survives because people like you support it.
Not social media.
Not algorithms.
Not corporations.

It lives because of paid members and it will only be able to continue because of your generous support.
People who say: “This matters. I’m willing to chip in to protect it.”

🟠 Where We Are Right Now

Today, we have:

1,585 paid members
Over 700,000 FREE subscribers
And we’re currently ranked #19 in the country in the News category on Substack

That’s incredible. It really is.

But to sustain this — to scale it — we need to go further.

My goal is to reach 10,000 paid subscribers - which will put us right outside of the Top 5 in the news category. After that, we will aim for #1.

That’s what will allow me to:

Keep publishing the deep investigative work we just did on Epstein
Continue building tools like the Human Rights Scorecard
Protect this work from corporate censorship
Build a full editorial team, rebuild our podcasting team, and a media platform that answers to no one but you

If you believe in this mission, I’m asking you — right now — to become a member.
