The MAGA Death Threats WILL NOT STOP US!!!

As Trump’s presidency is collapsing, his desperate cult followers are increasing their death threats against me and my brothers. They are setting up accounts for the sole purpose of threatening our lives and the lives of our family members. With Donald Trump threatening to execute Democratic lawmakers by “hanging them to death,” Trump’s followers view this as permission to increase their death threats against myself and my brothers.

In the past when we would get death threats, I would speak with the FBI. I stopped my communications with the FBI when Trump was elected, as I could no longer trust anything affiliated with this regime. As I see it, there really isn’t much we can do with these death threats other than to be more vigilant and improve our security, which we have done. Perhaps these death threats are from keyboard terrorists with no intent of actually attacking me.

Perhaps they are credible and coming from people who want to find me. I can’t really tell, and unless something happens to me, I won’t really know. However, I am not living my life in fear of these messages.

Sadly, by leading the top independent media network in the United States that fights for democracy, I’ve come to expect these death threats. It’s just part of my life. We also have to deal with the threats from the Trump regime. We have to deal with the threats from Fox and the right-wing media. We have to deal with right-wing oligarchs trying to destroy our network. It’s a battle we fight every single day, while all we want to do is report on the news and build this community.

These threats do not scare us, and they don’t intimidate us at all. The more they attack us, the more I want to work harder to build this network even bigger. I’ve used the death threats as motivation. Heck, if they are trying to kill me and want me dead, I must be doing something right. While we remain vigilant to these threats, it will not stop us at all in fulfilling the mission of this network.

The progress we have made together has Trump and MAGA terrified. We have rebuilt the news media together, and we now dominate the information war by giving the facts. I am under no illusion that the fight ahead won’t be hard, but I am confident we will win the fight of good versus evil, truth over lies, and democracy over fascism.
