Fifty million reads with no paywall is not just a milestone. It is a small rebellion with Wi-Fi. In a media landscape where billionaires keep buying the megaphones and then acting shocked when the truth develops a limp, people-funded journalism feels downright medicinal. No hedge-fund gatekeeper, no velvet rope, no “subscribe to find out whether human rights matter.” Just the work, open to everyone. That is how you build trust without needing a billionaire babysitter.
Fifty Million! That is truly impressive! Congratulations, and good job!
This proves that what people want is good content, honestly provided. They CAN tell the difference! When your product is good, you've "built a better mousetrap" and the world really will eventually beat a path to your door.
Congratulations on reaching 50 million - that’s amazing. Thank you for your unrelenting compassion and dedication to justice. I’m so grateful for your insightful and inspiring work.
Thank you for all of your efforts in bringing light into these dark times. Your articles are truly a beacon of hope. Happy to support to keep this truth train rollin!!
One reason I am a paid subscriber is your absence of a paywall. That system has always struck me as elitist. Mostly I pay because you offer depth and directness and a fierce integrity and compassion. You speak truth no matter what and you know your shit. Thank you 💜
I support three non-profits and only have so much money to go around BUT Let's Address This and Qasim Rashid are highest quality and compassionate--a must to support. We must keep this kind of journalism going forward--it is the light in our present and future. 💖

I’m more likely to become a paid subscriber to someone who doesn’t have a paywall. Case in point here 🩷
Thank you and agreed. We will never have a paywall.
