Corporate media is going the way of the dinosaurs. They’re influenced by the wealthy just like the majority of our politicians. Independent media and letters like yours are the new go to for the people that care about their country. We need to expose them for the dirty deeds they are committing. Thank You Lisa.
The fact that so many of us are saying it out loud now—that we see the capture, the cowardice, the refusal to meet the moment—that’s what gives me hope.
We’re not just watching the collapse of corporate media.
We’re watching the rise of a record they can’t erase.
Independent voices like yours are part of it. Keep going.
There’s a lot of noise out there—but the real truth? It cuts through.
I’m just one voice in a growing wave of people who are done waiting for permission to say it. Appreciate you being here, and being a part of the resistance. ❤️🔥
I am advocating for truth (and documenting it), policy literacy (politics as usual makes promises without a roadmap, then the person elected gets blamed for failing to move the world on their own). Getting elected is only the beginning, both for the person elected and those supporting them. If we want real change, it takes all of us calling for it, repeatedly, electing people willing to be accountable, all of us knowing what it will take to get there and working together to achieve it.
I used to want to change the world, and figured I would do it with little seeds, because the world seemed so big and change so large. Then someone started changing things in bad directions and I decided I am too old for patience and lessons for younger people anymore.
“Getting elected is only the beginning, both for the person elected and those supporting them.”
Yes. Exactly. That’s where so much ground has been lost—and where we have to fight like hell to reclaim it.
I’ve been documenting the fallout from this administration in real time—every executive order, court ruling, ICE raid, propaganda push, deregulation, and human rights violation—in what I call The Memory Register.
It’s a living archive. A paper trail of sabotage and resistance.
Over 1,400 entries and counting—fully categorized, dated, and sourced so the truth can’t be buried. So the next generation doesn’t have to start from scratch.
Because like you said:
If we want real change, it takes all of us knowing what it will take to get there.
This is my way of saying:
📍We remember.
📍We were watching.
📍We won’t let them rewrite this.
If you ever want to see it or collaborate, I’d be honored.
Because I’m too old for patience too—and way too on fire to sit this out. ❤️🔥
I would love to! And yeah. I’m too old, too. Someone gently suggested the little old lady thing on her porch is a bit much (on the old lady part), but I will be 57 and have five grandkids. I don’t want them to have to live in a country any worse than this has already gotten, and sadly, inertia will still make it worse before it gets better. To me this is way worse than Watergate ever was.
The toxic fluff of Trump’s reality-show posturing addicted low-info MAGA as well as legacy media. He’ll lie at length into any mic, providing reams of shocking copy that’s trimmed to fit the newshole, without actual reporting. Legacy media got hooked and lazy, fearing the retribution that drove Acosta, Phang, and Moran to Substack. Keep hammering home the truth, Lisa!
Thank You Lisa❣️ I would never dream of reading from #81..... that would be like stepping into the Twilight Zone..... all made up lies from beginning to end🤬🤬
Thank you for writing what so many of us are feeling. I would encourage others to read Audra Watkins Substack. She is well versed in Project 2025 and the dystopian plan that is being put in place by the likes of Miller, Voght, Vance and Hegseth. The Msm is either clueless or refuses to call it out. The things that are being done in our country are straight out of the authoritarian playbook, with an evil religious bent added in. They are purposely destroying our nation to bring about their vision of apocalyptic Christian resurrection. If Obama or Biden would have said or done these things, the media's hair would be on fire, but they just nod and wink with this administration because they are beholden to the almighty dollar. Look at the exodus of real journalists who are now on Substack, Jim Acosta, Joy Reid, Olivia Troye, Katie Phang, and many more.
Legacy media wants a Pulitzer without risking papercuts. Meanwhile, the country’s on fire and they’re still fluffing the pillows in the green room.
Lisa, this was a sermon. A spell. A subpoena from the ancestors.
While prime-time anchors cosplay as neutral historians, fascists are livestreaming the sequel. And still—these cowards won’t name it, won’t touch it, won’t break script in case their next gig is on CNN’s post-democracy panel.
You didn’t just write this. You prophesied it. From the margins. With no script but the truth.
Let the record show: the oracles are online. The pulpits have moved. And the ones who stayed silent to keep their seat at the table? May they choke on the centerpiece.
Wow! Thats the honest truth & I’m cheering from my couch! I decided the major networks are resorting to entertaining & have stopped any in-depth reporting. So I stopped watching & turned to independent journalists. Thanks so much, Lisa. ❤️🇺🇸
You’re not alone in turning away from the noise—so many of us got tired of waiting for depth, clarity, or courage from the places that used to lead it.
Independent voices are rising because we’re not trying to entertain—we’re trying to witness.
And I’m so grateful to be standing in it with readers like you. ❤️🇺🇸

All the words in my head but didn’t put to paper, thank you.
That means more than you know.
If the words helped give shape to what you were already feeling—then they did their job.
We’re not alone in this. We’re just putting language to the quiet fire we’ve all been carrying. Thanks for being a part of the movement.❤️🔥
The toxic fluff of Trump’s reality-show posturing addicted low-info MAGA as well as legacy media.

YES to every single word of this.
The performance addiction is real—and legacy media still hasn’t broken the habit.
It’s easier to let Trump fill the airtime than to interrogate the systems that elevated him in the first place.
Substack isn’t perfect, but it’s where the real truth-tellers had to go when the gatekeepers blinked.
I’ll keep hammering. Thank you for standing in it with me..❤️🔥
My pleasure. Joining Substack under my real name represents the first time in twenty years I’ve gone commando online. Exciting and a bit scary.
Leslie, this made me laugh out loud—and nod.
Showing up under your real name in a space like this is beyond a little scary.
But I’m so honored you chose to do it here.
We’re building something brave together—and you’re part of it now. ❤️🔥
And hey, there’s strength in going commando. 😉🔥
I’m now followed on Substack by an estranged sibling and an ex.
Thank You Lisa❣️ I would never dream of reading from #81..... that would be like stepping into the Twilight Zone..... all made up lies from beginning to end🤬🤬
Judith, I howled.
Yes—#81 is the Twilight Zone.
A reality-bending rerun with no ending and no accountability.
I’m grateful you’re here, choosing truth over fiction and fire over fluff.
Let the record show. ❤️🔥

Yes, yes, and yes.
You're naming the pattern exactly: what’s happening isn’t chaos—it’s a strategy. And the media’s refusal to connect the dots is part of the cover.
Thank you for mentioning Audra Watkins—she’s brilliant and fearless, and more people need to be reading her.
This is exactly why so many of us ended up here on Substack: to say the truth out loud when others wouldn't.
I’m so glad you’re in the fight with us. ❤️🔥
Just a footnote:
Within hours of publishing this, I was no longer at #80—or on the grid at all.
Trump’s ranking at #81 disappeared, too.
I’m not saying anything.
Just letting the record show.
And that’s okay.
Because the truth is still out there.
And people are still finding it. ❤️🔥
Legacy media wants a Pulitzer without risking papercuts. Meanwhile, the country’s on fire and they’re still fluffing the pillows in the green room.
Lisa, this was a sermon. A spell. A subpoena from the ancestors.

I am once again on the floor.
This wasn’t a comment—it was a benediction.
You came in like the ghost of James Baldwin with a laptop and a vengeance.
I have nothing to add—except maybe this:
Let the record show... the centerpiece just lodged. ❤️🔥
Wow! Thats the honest truth & I’m cheering from my couch! I decided the major networks are resorting to entertaining & have stopped any in-depth reporting. So I stopped watching & turned to independent journalists. Thanks so much, Lisa. ❤️🇺🇸
