Your writing is so beautiful and honest and full of grace. Thank you so much for sharing this. I’ve been following Aaron for months now and I’m a paid subscriber and I find him to be extraordinary as well. Clearly you are, too. Law of attraction is real :-) thank you again! Kieren.

I support both of you. Your insights and integrity are invaluable to this 70-year old lifelong Democrat. Stay safe and strong.

I’m a 74 year old woman who quit on MSNBC and CNN after the horrible election coverage. I had been following Aaron on TT, so I was getting the important news updates anyway. I moved to watching Substack before he took the leap. I’ve been following you on TT for a long time too and have loved watching you grow into a woman not to be messed with. The younger generation is our only hope. Thanks for all that you do. 🌺

That was the most sweetest article written about Aaron Parnas. Ever. 🥹 You can tell how much you respect his work and respect him as a person. You guys have that sibling energy. I love that video clip of the two of you cracking up so bad. How cute was that! 😂😂😂 it made me crack up. 😂🥰 I'm happy to see this beautiful friendship 🧡

There are 2 ways to access the article. Try the other way & it might work. It did for me.

I know a good way to get around 90% of paywalls. It works on Android & iphone & involves 1 click. That's it 👍 But I don't want what happened to switching to private tab, which only got 3 or so free articles. And too many steps. DM & I'll send how.

I think I’m safe in saying you’ll access the whole article here:

https://open.substack.com/pub/aaronparnas/p/i-was-just-featured-in-rolling-stone?r=45vym&utm_medium=ios

I tried my usual workaround, doing a simple search with the title of the article, but there wasn’t much available. Sometimes articles appear on other platforms with no paywall, but is the identical article. In this case, Aaron is sharing it himself and when I went to it, I could read the entire article. Very special. Good luck.

OMG. I said almost out loud, this is why I love SUBSTACK! I think every mainstream media personality who left of their own accord or were set free by the misaligned corporate media… Without fail, as they dive into Substack, the humanity shows up and they’ll express gratitude for such a platform, a little bit of fear and trepidation because it’s new territory, but also an uplifting sense of freedom, to be themselves and not feel overly supervised or forced into a pretzel shape or forced into a box, as was the case in their former positions. This is such a delight and an absolute surprise.

It’s so funny that your opening line matches my own sentiment, that I had a sense Aaron Parness was part of MTN, but I wasn’t sure… And his posts were so brief, and I did not connect with his personality or mode of conveying the news immediately… I seldom use the word annoying, but if I’m honest, I think that was it… Until I paid closer attention, life happened, time moved on, and I realized… This guy really knows what he’s doing, and he’s clearly a “go to” source who pops online as frequently as needed, to keep us all updated with truth, facts, and the latest, of which it behooves all of us to stay as current as possible.

Thank you for this beautiful piece. As soon as my new credit card number comes through, I’ll upgrade to paid with him and sign on with you as well. Thank you again. Such a delight. So real.

You are both a welcoming trust in the up and coming representatives of truthful journalism that Baby Boomers like myself want to see because our expiry dates are getting closer as the TP roll gets smaller. Take care of the truth as we move forward one day at a time into your future. “The Truth Is Out There.”
