5 More Fact-Based Creators To Fight Fascism
You are an information vector for everyone you know. Spread pro-democracy facts. Don't take your foot off the gas.
I usually give a pre-amble, but by now you know the drill. We fight fascism by understanding that information becomes our outcomes and our information ecosystem is strategically polluted by those with power who spread lies and fund disinformation. With this knowledge we take the fight to the disinformers, flooding the zone with facts to tilt the discourse back towards support for democracy.
1 out of every 5 Americans get their news on social media apps so boosting the creators below helps interrupt the billionaire strategy to flood the apps with distracting horse puckey.
Was that a preamble?
No time to waste. Videos of horrific ICE aggression are shifting the tide. Time to spread more facts.
Follow these 5 fact-based creators and regularly share their work if you want to increase public understanding and fight fascism. I’m giving hyperlinks to Instagram and TikTok, but if you use a different platform you can often find these creators elsewhere, including longer form work on Substack.
I sift through the noise to provide the reporting and ideas that matter and point readers toward journalism that actually improves understanding. If this work makes staying informed or communicating with your MAGA loved ones easier for you, support it here.

You don’t have to agree with everything these creators say, but exposing yourself to a diversity of fact-based viewpoints is the foundation of a healthy media diet.
So care about your media diet and don’t keep it to yourself. Disinformation pumped into the brains of our MAGA loved ones on apps just like this one got us into this mess and you pumping pro-democracy facts into these apps is what’s gonna get us out of it.
Be sure to comment below with other great creators you follow.
And share this post so more people see healthy information.
Quick reminder: You don’t have to navigate our broken information ecosystem alone.

Thanks, Brian. This is super helpful since most of my friends are getting their version of reality via social media. We need to flood that zone.
