Hey everyone—
I went live about this yesterday, and I’m writing this now because what I’m witnessing is dangerous.
The division. The infighting.
It’s exactly what MAGA wants.
And I know it—because I lived inside the MAGA machine. I watched how it works.
Divide. Distract. Conquer.
And that’s exactly what they’re doing to this country right now.
The infighting I’m seeing—not just among media, but within the Democratic Party itself, with no leadership in sight—is dangerous. It’s disorienting our base. It’s weakening our response. And it’s playing directly into Trump’s hands.
So let me be clear: this is a wake-up call.
If we don’t unite, we are going to lose everything.
And today, the New York Times reported exactly what I’ve been warning you about:
Infighting. No leadership.
Pundits and influencers rushing to Substack—not to bring you the truth, but to build a brand.
They’re not fighting Trump.
They’re fighting for subscribers.
I’ve been inside.
I know the man.
I know the machine.
I was part of it.
I traveled to Ukraine at Trump’s direction.
I sat in on the real meetings.
So when I say the stakes have never been higher, I’m not guessing.
I’m warning you.
Because here’s the truth:
Donald Trump is already using his power to go after dissent.
He’s weaponized government to punish enemies.
He’s jailing migrants.
He’s deploying troops.
He’s silencing truth-tellers.
And while all that’s happening, people who claim to be on “our side” are chasing clout.
I didn’t risk everything—my freedom, my family’s safety—so we could replace one propaganda machine with another.
I came forward because the truth is the truth.
And that’s where we must start.
I’m not here to name names. That’s not the point.
Because deep down—you know who they are.
And truth be told, they do too.
This isn’t an attack. It’s an alarm bell.
It’s not too late. But we have to act now.
We need more independent voices.
We need real journalists—like my son Aaron Parnas, like the MeidasTouch crew, like so many others who are out there asking the hard questions, following the facts, and fighting for democracy.
Because if we don’t unite —if we don’t start building something real, something unified—then we’re just handing Trump exactly what he wants: division.
And that’s always been the play.
Divide and conquer.
That’s how Trump got into power.
That’s how dictators rise.
And right now? That division is worse than ever—especially on our side.
So here’s what we do next:
Speak up. Ask the hard questions. Challenge the narratives.
Don’t settle for recycled opinions—demand receipts.Share this message with 3 people who still believe in America.

Because this isn’t about party.
It’s not about race.
It’s not about religion.
It’s not even about policy.
It’s about freedom. It’s about truth. It’s about survival.
I’m not writing this letter to divide anybody. On the contrary—
I’m writing this letter to unite us.
Because it’s not too late.
We can still come together.
We must come together.
Now is the time.
Not tomorrow.
Not after the next indictment.
Now.
Together, we will win.
Not because we’re perfect.
Not because we all agree.
But because we are finally ready to stand as one.
For truth.
For liberty.
For the future of our democracy.

Everyday I look for postings from you! You are the real deal, Lev. After watching your documentary twice, with Rachel, I started looking for you. Took awhile, until I saw you on Substack. Been following ever since. Sending love💙🇺🇸
Yes Lev, I am seeing MAGAS on Substack commenting on good honest reports and stating it's the left causing all the problems. I block them and others appear.
We must act and I posted a report someone had written (Name unknown) but I have restacked it and posted it. I'm posting it again here.
* The Price of Freedom: A Nation's Stand
My fellow Americans,
We stand at a precipice. The very foundation of our democracy, the principles that define us as a nation – freedom, justice, and the power of the people – are under siege. A regime has taken root that seeks to dismantle these ideals, to centralize power, and to silence the voices of ordinary Americans.
This is not a drill. This is not a partisan debate. This is a battle for the soul of our nation, and we, the American people, are the last line of defense.
To reclaim our democracy, we must face an uncomfortable truth: we must halt the engine that fuels this regime. We must, together, choose to disrupt the very systems it relies upon. This means a collective act of non-cooperation. It means temporarily stopping the flow of productivity that empowers those who seek to undermine us. It means, for a time, accepting financial pain.
I understand the gravity of these words. I know the fear and uncertainty that such a prospect evokes. Families will struggle. Businesses will face hardship. But I ask you: what is the cost of losing our democracy? What is the price of living under a system where our rights are eroded, our voices are silenced, and our future is dictated by a few? That cost, my friends, is far greater and far more enduring than any temporary economic pain we might endure.
Think of those who came before us – who risked everything, who shed blood and treasure, to establish and preserve this nation. They endured famine, war, and unimaginable sacrifice for the promise of a free society. Are we, in this generation, less capable of defending that legacy?
This is not about surrender. This is about strategic withdrawal of our energy and resources from a system that has become weaponized against us. By stopping our collective productivity, we starve the regime of its power. We deny it the resources it needs to perpetuate its control. We create an undeniable crisis that forces a reckoning.
This will be painful. There is no sugarcoating it. But we are a resilient people. We are ingenious. We will organize. We will support each other through community, through shared resources, and through the unbreakable bonds of our common purpose. We must prepare for this pain, knowing that it is the necessary path to a greater good.
The choice before us is stark: a brief, intense period of shared hardship for the promise of a free future, or a slow, agonizing slide into authoritarianism with consequences that will echo for generations.
Let us rise to this challenge. Let us stand together, united in our resolve. Let us choose freedom, no matter the cost. Our democracy, our future, depends on it.
God bless America!
