The ONLY Media Email You'll Get NOT About...

Fighting Donald Trump (please read in full)

Hey folks, it’s Jordan.

I don’t know about you, but in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s presidential election victory, I’ve already received a flood of emails from several major media outlets telling me “today starts our renewed fight” and “we have no time to waste” to hold the new Trump administration accountable and then…

Asking me for money to “join the fight.”

***To be clear, I DO BELIEVE the media, both mainstream and independent, have a serious responsibility to aggressively cover the second Trump presidency—and Status Coup will cover the Trump presidency.

However, I don’t believe we should have a replay of “Resistance” media that covers Donald Trump 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—beginning in the morning with whatever insane thing he tweets, covering that tweet for several hours with a panel of rotating clueless pundits until by lunch and dinner time, the media pivots to the next insane Trump plot twist.

We’re not going to do that because:

WE
MUST
WALK
AND
CHEW
GUM
AT
THE
SAME
TIME.

I truly hope and wish the mainstream media, and other independent media, DO NOT revert back to 24/7 Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump…and more Trump. Not because I don’t think covering a dangerous president is important, but because I believe abandoning all the stories and instances of corruption, injustice, and oppression that are quietly happening across America is EXACTLY how fascism gets turbo-charged and spreads.

But a las, I think that’s exactly what is going to happen and the media, both mainstream and independent, will revert back to 24/7 Trump (let’s be real, there is a lot of clicks and profit in it for them).

But Status Coup will not—likely to our own financial detriment—not because I don’t believe covering a second Trump presidency is important, but because…

We exist to cover all the IGNORED and ABANDONED stories and communities that…delivered us Donald Trump. Like the:

• ONGOING Flint water crisis and coverup (which I recently released my first book on)

• ONGOING sacrifice zone in East Palestine, OH & Pennsylvania after Norfolk Southern chemically nuked the place

• GROWING list of communities being poisoned by corporate America and/or the government

• 50-year demolition of the working class & organized labor/unions—for which we’ve led the charge in covering worker strikes, union organizing campaigns, and more

• GROWING economic terrorism—i.e. gentrification—that is driving working class people out of their communities

• Local and state-level corruption

We JUST covered many of these important stories on the road as part of our 3-state, 10-day swing state trip. WATCH:

As I’ve previously said, we are in an URGENT need to grow our paid membership (we’ll be holding our monthly members-only call next week) in order to hire:

• A reporter

• A producer

• Marketing/advertising person

• Administrative help

If we can gain a minimum of 1,000 new paid members by the end of the year, it would go a long way to being able to fill some of these BADLY needed roles. If we don’t, unfortunately we might have to scale back as, to be honest, both Colin and I have reached burnout levels working 6-7 days a week, 12-15 hours a day.

So, the choice is yours. If you’d like to only hear about President Trump 24/7 for the next four years, there will be plenty of choices out there for you. But if you want an alternative, independent, investigative, ON-THE-GROUND outlet to exist to cover everything else the corporate media abandons.

As always, thanks for your support.
