John,

The Trump administration isn’t just dismantling the federal government—they are waging an unprecedented war on free speech.

According to a New York Times report, federal agencies have flagged hundreds of so-called "woke words" that are now banned from official use.

Here are just a few examples:

Community | Belong | Equality
 Clean Energy | Historically | Inclusive
 Disabilities | Pollution | Female
 Climate Science | Hate Speech | Native American
 Women | Minority | Cultural differences

See the full list of words the Trump administration is trying to "ban"—then donate so COURIER can ensure that freedom of speech survives this dark moment.

The Trump administration is purging federal agencies of words, ideas, and policies that don’t fit their authoritarian agenda.

And they’re counting on compliance—from the press, from institutions, and from the public.

COURIER refuses to comply.

At a time when:

• Jeff Bezos gutted The Washington Post editorial board, aligning it with Trump’s agenda.
• Disney laid off 6% of its news staff at ABC and shut down FiveThirtyEight, kneecapping investigative journalism when we need it most.
• CBS News is preparing to cave to Trump’s bogus 60 Minutes lawsuit, signaling yet another major media outlet afraid to stand up to Trump’s attacks.

COURIER is standing firm.

We don’t answer to profits. We don’t soften our reporting out of fear. And we don’t put the truth behind a paywall.

Instead, we deliver fact-based, unflinching journalism to millions of Americans where they already are—on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and email, cutting through the noise, the disinformation, and the mainstream media’s cowardice.

In just the past year, we’ve:

• Built a progressive media network reaching nearly 6 million people.
• Generated billions of social media impressions, ensuring the truth reaches those most at risk of disinformation.
• Expanded local newsrooms in key states, where Trump’s allies are working to consolidate power.

This fight for free speech isn’t coming—it’s here. And if independent media doesn’t stand up, who will?

We can’t let Trump erase reality. Donate now to help COURIER fight back.
