Year In Review: My Top Exclusive Stories in 2023

Thank you to everyone who supported by work this year!

This year has been amazing, but I want to really double down on exposing the far left in 2024. Help me make this a grassroots effort, so my only obligation is to tell you the truth and show you receipts. I can’t do it without your help.

---

I’ve been taking the last few weeks off to rest up and recuperate from an insane year before we enter 2024. I’m so appreciative of everyone who funded my work in 2023, making it my most successful year of investigative and undercover journalism yet.

I can only do this because I’m funded by you. Please consider supporting my work if you have not already.

Here’s the good news…

This year, I executed more independent journalism covering the far left in the United States than anyone in the country.

Here are just a few of my exclusive stories from 2023, journalism you won’t find anywhere else:

We went inside Autistic Sex Education, and I exposed a training targeting some of the most vulnerable kids in schools:

I brought you inside teacher training the state of Michigan is doing with teachers to show them how to groom children.

• In the first part, I showed you how they’re training teachers to be groomers.

• In the second part, I showed you the state is teaching teachers that they do not have a legal obligation to tell parents what name pronouns their kids are using in school.

• In the third part, I showed you the state of Michigan is training teachers to help elementary school students come out to their parents.

I went undercover at a Socialist Reproductive Justice conference at Hampshire College, and showed you inside an at-home bathroom abortion tour:

I showed you the socialists providing psychotherapy to non-binary 3-year-olds:

I brought you exclusive reporting on Tufts University studying non-binary 3-year-olds:

I brought you exclusive reporting that they're creating a middle school for trans and non-binary kids in New York:

I showed you how Target is funding programs to train your kids to be queer activists in school:

I took you inside Queer Theology:

I'm the only person who went undercover at the largest socialist activist conference of the year:

I recorded the President of the American Library Association saying libraries need to be sites of socialist organizing:

II recorded a socialist teacher talking about how they're using education to create a socialist world, and smuggling banned ideas into Florida classrooms:

I caught a socialist professor saying every quiet part out loud:

I went undercover at ANOTHER socialist conference, where the President of the American Library Association said that it's not possible to be politically neutral:

I brought you inside a shocking queer activist training:

I introduced you to a queer psychotherapist training your kid's mental health providers:

I showed you that they're trying to create a queer college:

And in the biggest SPY STREAM of all time, I brought you inside the National Sex Ed Conference.

We watched a session where sex educators were told parents don’t have rights:

We heard them say that top surgery for 16-year-olds is great and is absolutely happening with some providers:

And I showed you the fake dicks that are being handed out to your kids in school, probably without you knowing:

I did all this in addition to streaming 6 days a week on my YouTube channel, executing the first ever How To Speak Socialist Training, writing The Woke Mind series to help you understand the psychology of the left, creating a library of video clips that you can use to show your friends and family, and more.

It’s been a crazy year, and I’m very proud of all the work I’ve been able to do with your help.

And now the bad news…

I’ve experienced a significant amount of growth in this Substack over the last year, and I’m grateful to all of you. It’s read by thousands of people a day, in all 50 states, and in 91 countries.

I’m determined to make sure this effort is grassroots funded, so that my only obligation is to tell you the truth about what’s happening in the world, and show you receipts so that you can decide for yourself.

I’m very blessed to have so many wonderful supporters, hundreds more than the average independent journalist trying to do what I do, and I appreciate them so much.

However, there are realities regarding how much time it takes to execute this work. My time is my most valuable commodity.

Two months ago, I set a goal of getting 200 new paying supporters by the end of the year. We were on track for a while….but sadly did fall short of that goal.

As a result, I plan on significantly restricting my free content moving forward, and sadly, that’s just going to be the way it is. I had hoped this wouldn’t be the case but sometimes people only value things when they are taken away from them. I have a significant number of people reading this Substack for free, and if a small fraction of them stepped up and supported it, this wouldn’t be happening. I warned people what would happen if more people didn’t step up to keep it free for everyone, and here we are.

Paying supporters on Locals and Patreon will also get access to premium content.

If you are a free subscriber and cannot afford the monthly or annual cost, I do have a limited amount of donated subscriptions that I can give to people who truly need them. Please reach out to activelyunwoke (a) gmail.com if you would like one of those subscriptions.

My goal is to be able to grow this as an enterprise to the point where I can fund the projects I want to pursue.

If you want to see this work continue and be made available to all, the best thing you can do is fund it.

You can also make a one-time gift or find other options to support my work on my newly re-launched website activelyunwoke.com. But my preference is that, if you can sign up on this Substack, that you do. We’re close to hitting 1,000 paid supporters here, which will be an amazing milestone to achieve!
