Stand up for truth
Join us, and help build the independent media you want to read
Readers, we’ll keep this short.
This year, press freedom is under attack as never before in modern America — pressure campaigns, legal threats, corporate complicity, and arrests of journalists are silencing the critical voices you rely on.
Too much of the legacy press has already folded, too easily, with too much cowardice.
Free speech is in peril. Every day, another platform becomes useless — or a threat to the truth.
Independent media that answers directly to readers matters now more than ever.
That is what we are building here at The Ink, and on Substack more generally. We work tirelessly and fearlessly to help you make sense of these times, to help you connect with others and with useful action, and to help keep you sane.
Don’t be a bystander. Be an upstander for truth.
We need you. You make this newsletter happen. You pay for our editing and writing staff. You underwrite the independence that leads to truth. Every time we call it like it is in a way you don’t often hear, it’s because you have our back. And that’s what we plan to do even more of this year.
Subscribe today. We need you. Let’s build a new media together, starting now.
