Trump has tried to drown us in his illegal and unconstitutional executive orders, and now he wants to submerge the free world in his pro-fascist lies. His hand-picked election-denier, and two-time electoral loser, Kari Lake, just announced a deal with OAN to broadcast their toxic disinformation around the world through the Voice of America network!
Trump doesn’t — and Kari Lake surely doesn’t — have the legal right to determine what goes out on VOA, but when has breaking laws and norms ever stopped Trump before? Trump doesn’t just want to cross lines and break laws to silence VOA — he wants to silence us. No one speaking truth to power, no pro-democracy independent media organization, is safe from the Trump administration’s wrath.
But we’re not afraid.
We’re not going to cower in the corner until the danger passes.
The mission of speaking truth to tyranny has never been safe or easy, but it was always right. When Voice of America was founded 82 years ago, it was at a point when our leaders understood that standing up to fascism at home and around the world was essential when VOA was created with this mission:
To combat Nazi propaganda with accurate and unbiased news and information.
Since then, VOA has served the world with a consistent message of truth, hope, and inspiration. Now it’s on us.
Today, Lincoln Square Media and the Lincoln Loyal community are stepping into the void created by traditional media’s failure to rise to the moment. We’re giving voice to those intimidated or forced into silence by a mad king hellbent on destroying everything we love and hold dear about our country.
A few weeks ago, we didn’t exist on Substack. Today, we’re one of the fastest-growing media companies on the platform — and that’s because of you — the most active, well-informed, and passionately patriotic community imaginable.
In the same week that freedom-loving countries around the world are marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day, Trump and his fascist horde are doing all they can to make a mockery of the more than 400,000 Americans lost in WWII and silence the true voice of America.
The 20th-century battle against fascism was fought and won by America’s Greatest Generation, together with members of that generation around the world. Today, it’s our time to rise to the challenge of securing the rights and freedoms that define America’s promise.
We’re fighting every day, and we’re asking you to fight with us. We know Trump’s economy and threats to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security make it somewhere between difficult and impossible for some to pay for a subscription to Lincoln Square. That is all the more reason we need those who can help support our work to subscribe today to keep growing the volume, power, and reach of Lincoln Square and the Lincoln Loyal community.
We can do this. We must do it. Join us.
