A Sunday Message from Lev Parnas: Turning Fear Into Power

Dear friends,

I want to begin today with something simple, but deeply felt:

I See You, I Hear You, and I am With You

These past few weeks — these past six months — have been more than chaotic. They’ve been historic. They’ve been terrifying. Every day, it feels like we wake up to a new attack on our rights, our democracy, and the truth itself.

And I know you feel it too. I see your messages. I read your emails. I hear your voices. Many of you are asking, What do we do? Where do we go from here?

Let me start by saying this clearly:

You have every right to be scared.

You have every reason to be worried.

Because what we are facing is real. It’s dangerous. And it’s not coming — it’s already here.

Over the past six months, we’ve watched Donald Trump and his enablers in Congress — some of the “finest” elected officials money and fear can buy — dismantle protections we once thought untouchable. From defying court orders to weaponizing the DOJ against immigrants and dissenters, to pardoning extremists and cracking down on media, it’s been one move after another designed to erase accountability and consolidate power.

We’ve seen him openly deport Americans.

We’ve seen ICE raids increase.

We’ve seen him lift sanctions on Putin while Ukraine burns.

We’ve seen him push a “beautiful” immigration bill that’s anything but.

We’ve seen him threaten governors, judges, and whistleblowers.

And now — he’s pushing the most dangerous piece yet:

What he calls “election reform.”

But let’s be clear — it’s not reform. It’s a plan to rig the system permanently.

That’s why I say this to you from the heart: Now is the time to turn our fear into power.

Because even in the chaos — I promise you — there are cracks forming.

I told you they would come. And they’re here.

Inside the Republican Party. Inside MAGA itself.

Don Bacon, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Tillis, Thomas Massie — they’re speaking up.

They’re breaking ranks. They’re calling him out.

And today, Elon Musk just drove a dagger into the MAGA narrative. Just yesterday, he announced the formation of a third party — the American Party — which he himself is going to fund. This is the worst thing Donald Trump could have imagined. My sources are telling me that Trump’s retaliation will be ferocious. So stay tuned.

Donald Trump knows it. That’s why he’s lashing out harder than ever. He’s threatening to primary them. He’s threatening to deport Elon Musk. He’s threatening democracy itself. That’s why he’s desperate to silence voices like mine. Like yours.

But I’ll tell you this right now: I’m not going anywhere.

Not while we still have breath.

Not while this movement is still alive.

I get threats every day. They try to shut me up. But I keep going. Because of you.

I have no big corporate sponsors.

No bodyguards.

No party machine behind me.

I have YOU.

And together, we’ve made Lev Remembers the number one political Substack two weeks running.

We are louder than their lies — and we are just getting started.

But I need you to take the next step with me.

This isn’t just a newsletter.

This is a movement. This is a resistance.

And while the days ahead may get darker, we are the light they fear.

As we close out the week, I want to leave you with this thought:

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.” — Nelson Mandela

So yes, be scared. But don’t let it stop you.

Let it fuel you. Let it remind you that you are alive, you are awake, and you still have a voice.

I want you to enjoy your Sunday. Hug your kids. Call your mom. Walk your dog. Remember what we’re fighting for — the freedom to live, love, speak, and believe without fear.

But stay ready.

Because my sources tell me — big things are coming this week.

Major moves. More authoritarian grabs. Another push to silence us.

But they won’t.

Because we won’t be silent. We won’t be still. And we damn sure won’t back down.

With love, strength, and truth,

— Lev
