The digital silencing has begun. My podcast has been officially labeled a "cybersecurity threat" by Facebook, with posts being systematically removed and listeners blocked from messaging me. Why? For speaking critically about the current administration and its attacks on free speech.
This isn't just happening to me. We're witnessing an unprecedented campaign against dissenting voices across America—from major institutions like NPR and Voice of America down to independent creators who dare to speak against power. After 16 months and 98 episodes reaching listeners in all 50 states and 46 countries, I find myself suddenly treated as a danger that must be contained rather than a voice exercising constitutional rights.
The timing couldn't be more significant. As I approach my 100th episode—a milestone few podcasts ever reach—this censorship campaign threatens to undermine everything I’ve built. Despite growing to over 600 listeners, the challenges of audience engagement in today's fractured media landscape remain immense. Without your direct support through emails, messages, and engagement, potential sponsors and interview guests see only silence, making it increasingly difficult to sustain this platform for truth-telling.
I refuse to be silenced. I'm creating new communication channels outside Facebook's reach, starting with a dedicated email ([email protected]) and plans for an independent website. But I need your help. This isn't just about saving one podcast—it's about standing against the growing tide of censorship threatening to wash away our most fundamental freedoms. Your voice matters now more than ever. Contact me, share your thoughts, and join the resistance against those who would gladly see critical voices disappear from the public square.
