🔥 We just hit #18. Let’s go further.
Yesterday was our biggest growth day yet. It would mean the world to me if you could join and subscribe to my Substack - we are currently #18 in the world for news!
🔥 We just hit #18. Let’s go further.
As-Salaam-Alaikum and hello to each of you!
I’m writing this with a strange mix of feelings — some joy, some urgency, and some righteous fire.
Just 24 hours after we launched our membership campaign, we’ve already passed 1,630 paid subscribers to The North Star. That means 45 of you joined in one day — and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Because of that, we just moved up to #18 in the country on Substack’s News leaderboard.
That’s not a small thing.
The Substack News category is filled with huge names — people with mainstream media backing, corporate connections, and tech investors.
And somehow, in the middle of spinal pain, censorship, and recovery, we’re climbing that list — just us. Just the people.
📢 But here’s the thing…
Ahead of us on that list — right now — are people who have spent the past 9 months mocking Palestinian pain, denying genocide, and propping up Zionist power in every corner of the internet.
I mean this quite literally - the person ranked right ahead of me might be the most insulting Zionist on the platform.
I’m not just trying to grow for the sake of ego.
I want to replace that narrative with truth.
I want to show that people-powered media — led by a voice like mine, funded by working-class readers — can break through their noise and stand taller than the lies.
Every time someone becomes a member, that’s what we’re doing.

We’ve got momentum. We’re growing.
But we’re still early in this fight.
The next goal is 2,000 members. Then 5,000. Then 10,000.
And then?
We make this platform impossible to ignore.
We fund it so deeply that they can’t ban us, can’t silence us, and can’t compete with us.

Thank you for believing in this.
Thank you for walking with me through the pain and the pressure.
Thank you for seeing the mission — and not just the moment.
With love,
Shaun
Thank you all so much for your support! Let's keep on climbing! We just went from #19 to #18 in the news rankings and I am desperate for us to surpass some of the most insulting voices on this platform that are right ahead of us.
