🟥 We’re #3 in truth. But we’re still 10,000 members behind. Let me show you what I mean.
Substack is still dominated by white, pro-establishment voices. Let’s change that.
🚨 Help us break the barrier. Let’s hit 2,500 members.
Do you see that list above? Every one of those news platforms on Substack currently has more paid members than us, but as of today ONLY TWO OF THEM get more traffic or engagement.
We’re now ranked #3 in traffic and engagement across all of Substack News.
That’s huge. But here’s the truth: we’re still over 10,000 paid members behind the top 3.
📈 In the last 30 days alone, our articles have been visited over 25 million times.
That means millions of people are relying on our truth-telling — but a tiny fraction have stepped up to fund it. And if we want to keep this going, we must grow our base of monthly supporters.
💔 Who's ahead of us?
Take a look at the Substack leaderboard.
Here are the people currently ahead of us in News rankings:
Not a single one is African American.
Not one is Muslim.
Not one is pro-Palestinian.
They are nearly all white, male, establishment-friendly voices — or worse, voices that actively uphold the systems causing so much harm. Several are open, proud Zionists and genocide supporters.
And yet here we are — breaking stories, naming names, exposing war crimes and genocide with courage, consistency, and care. And doing it on behalf of the oppressed people of the world. As truth-tellers.
👉🏽 Help us change who gets heard.
📰 What have we done this past month?
In the past 30 days alone, we’ve published dozens of original investigative reports and survivor-centered stories, including:
The starvation of Palestinian children — by name, face, and case
The U.S./Israeli bombing of schools, hospitals, journalists, and entire families
The full exposure of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and the paid American mercenaries shooting unarmed civilians
The Israeli theft and destruction of over 1,000 aid trucks
The lies behind the “Hamas stole the aid” narrative — using direct U.S. and UN evidence
Exclusive interviews with whistleblowers and grieving parents alike
We are writing what history will one day cite.
👉🏽 Become one of the 2,500 founding members today.
Mainstream media doesn’t promote voices like ours.
We only grow because you share this.
We only survive because you fund this.
I swear I don’t think the truth has ever been more important, but harder to find than it is today.
Now’s the time to act.

Love and appreciate each of you.
