The WNBA recently has started to usher in the next phase of legitimacy under capitalism, which is racism overt and bold! Racism was/has always been a part of the outside noise of the WNBA since the 90s, when the Comets were still in Houston and the Detroit Rockers held the Motor City down with the Pistons in their corner. From racist, anti-LGBTQ conversations by nobodies that then turned into talking down on Black women into a FOX News anchor contract to zero to no coverage of women's basketball then and now, resulting in that same discourse now being backed by players in the league. Racism now has made its way to the very players affected by this lack of coverage and inclusion. From Caitlin Clark to now Sophie Cunningham, who both play for one of the most rotten fan bases with an average age ratio of mostly middle-aged men and women, all conservative and racist, being the Indiana Fever fan base! This fanbase now has its white whale, golden goose, and ticket to cash in to then say they were always fans of the game, only to use it to further more hate and oppression onto others!

These two have been the pitbull darlings of racism and bigotry against the very league they play in, from Caitlin Clark walking out on Nazis like Morgan Wallen to simultaneously ignoring questions about the racism her fans commit. Sophie Cunningham's in the bigotry part that they are speed rolling into the league with the help of the Trump administration and its pundits! overly using religion and TERF talking points to invoke a right-wing agenda that trans women are taking over sports when that isn't even the science or data that backs that claim! You add all these together, and you have a successful capitalistic enterprise as long as you can sustain the backlash of those not willing to deal with it via being a pawn in the exploitation game known as Amerikkka! These are just my thoughts, but they are definitely rooted in something I've thought of for quite some time now, and I'd love some thoughts on this!

This wasn’t easy for me to talk about or condense to less than 7 minutes! I’m seriously going through it and could use some help!

When war breaks out and gets normalized via an invention of reality, so does the propaganda and misinformation campaigns. Since time immemorial, indigenous bodies have had to feel the brunt of the western imperial power while pleading with the world to listen and not be distracted by the manipulative components put forth by recourse imperialism. We have pleaded for you to join the fight against this oppressive agenda to eliminate it, not just for me but for you, the non-indigenous, who are indoctrinated to the point of believing that my life, the land I walk on, and the air I breathe were not stolen from my ancestors and me! Dr. Bobby E. Wright once said we as the indigenous African race have always been “15 minutes away from legalized slavery.” These have become a reality as we have a prison-industrial complex built off the backs of African and Indigenous incarceration. Mumia Abu-Jamal sits rotting in a jail cell for saying what JD Vance is just barely acknowledging simply to ruffle the feathers of the leaders controlling, as Alexander Haig, former United States Secretary of State, stated, America’s “Unsinkable Aircraft…” referencing that the whole country is a fucking military occupational outpost designed to control the region for American interests and expansion.

Let me get to the crossroads of the quotes! Over time this system has told us to our face what it intends to do abroad with all the primitive accumulation it has stripped from the indigenous communities of this earth. This system is the embodiment of the duopoly of fascism that serves resource imperialism and the extraction of culture and wealth from indigenous bodies all over. JD Vance saying what we have all said for years about the “Unsinkable Aircraft…” known as Israel is the biggest confirmation you’re going to get that this administration knows what it is doing, so much so that it will manipulate you into thinking a person like JD Vance has changed his mind on the situation he and others helped continue. It is wild, baseless, and isn’t rooted in reality to think that JD Vance has changed his mind and can sit outside the agenda he so desperately wanted to be the Robin to the Batman that is oligarchy. This would be like if Jeffrey Dahmer called out John Wayne Gacy for trying to continue what they both did in their own capacities or if Abraham Lincoln called out Cecil Rhodes for colonizing the Shona empires in what is known as Zimbabwe while actively involved in slavery and the trafficking of my ancestors to places we never came from to indulge in the agenda of “Pan-Americanism.” JD Vance will never not be complicit in the terrorism that is committed across this earth. Saying what millions have known for decades as a tactic to leverage the biggest modern-day terrorists to the “negotiating table” is asinine and just that—a tactic to continue the quagmires and calamity they make money off of while gas, utilities, rent, and food skyrocket for oligarchs’ peak profit quarters annually. Mind you, his words may have been truth in regard to pointing out the actions of the bastard child imperialism created, but they only prove that he knew and didn’t care about the terror they have continued to commit. As early as today as I write this, Israel has continued carrying out its genocide in Gaza & is now bombing civilians and infrastructure not connected to any military outpost in Lebanon. JD Vance and the DOD or DOW have been funding these campaigns.

I find it funny also that JD Vance has said nothing regarding the ongoing coup of the Albanian government by the Kushners & Trumps. His calling out of the complicity is not rooted in solidarity; it’s rooted in willful and blinded ignorance regarding the lack of morality and humanity. He only recognizes the terrorism when they don’t act according to the plans of imperialism. He only acknowledges the genocide and the tactic used by Israel to leverage a point of control and deception. If you don’t meet us at the table, well then we’ll cut your funding and call you what we created you to be, which is the terrorist in the Middle East causing calamity. In short, JD Vance is not a person of reason or morality; his comments show the side of imperialism most tend to ignore or never focus on, which is that it will turn on those it has used to get to the position it’s needing to maximize the profits for the 1% controlling all this. We are in a game of battleshits being played and toyed with by the biggest oligarch and technocrats. You’re either a destroyer or a carrier; it doesn’t really matter because the important fact is that we are all board pieces being moved and manipulated for pleasure and greed.

For over five years, TIN! Media has operated within the colonial framework of free content extraction, where our labor and decolonial analysis were commodified without adequate compensation for the producers. As Walter Rodney stated, "Underdevelopment is a process of exploitation, which began with European slave trade, continued through colonialism, and is now beingperpetuated by neocolonial and imperialist policies."

Effective May 2026, TIN! Media transitions to a model ofmedia sovereignty. Our content will be accessiblethrough Patreon at a tiered structure that reflects the material realities of our audience while ensuring the sustainability of this decolonial work. As Malcolm Xtaught us, "You can cuss out colonialism, imperialism, and all other kinds of ism, but it's hard for you to cuss that dollarism."

This shift is not about abandoning our principles but about consolidating our energy toward those who actively participate in building decolonial alternatives. As Rodney emphasized, "The question of underdevelopment takes us to the very heart of the international capitalist system... underdevelopment is not an original state but is produced by the historical development of capitalism."

Moving forward, all guest contributors will be required to make a minimum $50 donation to support the hosts' time and energy - recognizing that intellectual labor is the foundation of decolonial struggle. As Malcolm X declared, "We declare our right on this earth to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existenceby any means necessary."

Our live streams will be condensed 30-minute Patreon exclusives, while all programming moves to our Patreon platform with tiered access. This reflects Rodney's understanding that "national liberation is necessarily an act of culture" and that cultural struggle is crucial because it "reflects the ideological essence of a society'spolitics and economics."

If you believe in the necessity of independent decolonial media, we ask that you contribute to its sustainability.Your support isn't just payment - it's an investment in media sovereignty that challenges the very colonial structures that profit from our intellectual extraction. As Malcolm X warned, "If you aren't careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

For over seven years, I have been fighting an uphill battle against the brutal realities of imperialist systems that deliberately deny basic human necessities and resources deeming "profitable" for capital. These systemic struggles have intensified to the point where I have been completely priced out of existence. My hardships stem from being systematically targeted through unemployment campaigns, vicious doxxing campaigns, and relentless retaliation for my unwavering opposition to imperialism—a stance that has resulted in being completely blacklisted from my entire professional field.

This past year, I have poured every ounce of my being into fighting harder than ever before, desperately trying to gain even the smallest foothold against these overwhelming obstacles. It has been an impossible struggle as I fought for grant funding and fiscal contracts, only to have them systematically revoked once again precisely because of my principled stance against imperialism—throwing me back into a desperate financial crisis and the imminent threat of homelessness once more, bringing me back to the same precarious situation I faced nearly a decade ago when I was forced to sleep in my car!

I am reaching out in complete desperation because I was notified just over two months ago that my grants have been permanently denied due to my political resistance against imperialism.

Furthermore, I have been banned from ever applying to the Nevada Arts Council for any future projects—meaning vital initiatives like "Writing For Liberation," an abolitionist course designed to support incarcerated individuals, will NEVER receive funding from the Nevada Arts Council again!

I am begging you, if you are reading this plea, top lease consider contributing anything you possibly can to help sustain my network and myself as we fight to survive. We are trying to bring you the truthful news and analysis that mainstream imperialist media will never provide—the very news that could help dismantle the systems oppressing us all.

US War With Iran: How This Benefits Oligarchy & ISRAELI Company Evicts LAS VEGAS Residents (LIVE AT 10:05 AM PST TODAY)

The US war machine's escalating threats against Iran expose the brutal calculus of imperial power, revealing how military aggression serves oligarch interests while displacing communities at home.

This analysis uncovers the insidious connections between Washington's warmongering, corporate profiteering, and the violent gentrification of American cities, where Israeli-backed corporations like the one evicting Las Vegas residents operate with impunity.

As the US prepares another imperial adventure in the Middle East, we examine how the same extractive logic that devastates nations abroad enables the displacement of working-class families domestically.

Join us in naming the forces that profit from war while people lose their homes, and understand how the fight against imperial aggression must also challenge the corporate dispossession happening in our own backyards.

Beneath the polished facade of global sports media, a silent architecture of control is engineered. This is not a story about content, but about conquest; not about platforms, but about pipelines of ideological compliance. It is the blueprint of a digital empire, conceived in the logic of the settlement and scaled through the server room, where fan passion is harvested, narratives are sanitized, and silence on genocide is certified, monetized, and systematically enforced. The following examination traces this architecture from its settler-colonial foundations to its secure, audited pipelines, revealing how the tools of ethnic cleansing have been algorithmically transmuted into the engines of engagement. It begins with the settlers in the server room.

Settlers Own the Server Rooms

In 2011, Three Israeli Zionist “entrepreneurs”—Asaf Peled, Gilad Beiman, and Yuval Larom—united not to create “diverse sports content,” but to architect a global digital colony. Their origin story, sanitized for corporate publicity, frames them as “storytellers” who turned “passion into a profession.” This narrative carefully launders the geopolitical context of their venture. They launched FTBpro (later 90min) under the deceptive banner of “fan empowerment.”

Their model was clear: Replace traditional journalism with user-generated content, not to liberate the narrative, but to dissolve accountability. Polished reporting was swapped for “raw perspective”—a curated chaos where passion could be harvested and funneled into engagement metrics. Peled’s path, moving from finance to leading this media venture, exemplifies the seamless channeling of capital into platforms that manage consciousness. Partnered with Beiman’s media experience and Larom’s entrepreneurial drive, they built a platform that weaponized fandom. From the beginning, this was a technological and ideological operation: a content management system designed to scale silence and a global network designed to replicate imperial narratives in dozens of languages, all while presenting itself as the voice of the everyday fan.

The "Secure" Pipeline

At the operational core of this Digital Colony lies the proprietary multimedia publishing platform, Voltax. Far from a neutral tool, Voltax is the central nervous system that standardizes content, enforces brand uniformity, and mechanizes the monetization of apathy across its vast network. Critically, to be a part of the Minute Media empire—whether as an acquired brand like The Players’ Tribune or a partnered publisher—is to be forcibly integrated into the Voltax system. This mandatory adoption is the technological Gag Order: a tell-tale sign that independent voices have been contractually silenced, their content funneled through a pipeline engineered for compliance.

In 2021, this pipeline achieved a SOC 2 Type II attestation from the global auditing firm E&Y, certifying its controls for security, availability, and confidentiality. In the empire’s lexicon, this is not a badge of journalistic integrity but a corporate seal of “trust” designed for one purpose: to assure partners and advertisers that the platform is a secure, reliable, and contained environment for their capital.

This technical certification is the perfect alibi for ideological control. Voltax “powers the creation, distribution, consumption, and monetization” for all entities under the Minute Media umbrella. By providing this single, mandatory “secure” pipeline, Voltax ensures that all content is filtered through the same commercial and ideological architecture that is financially intertwined with entities like BlackRock—which led a funding round valuing the company at $1.7 billion—and other tech firms actively profiting from surveillance and infrastructure used in atrocities from Sudan and the Congo to West Papua, Turtle Island, and Palestine. The platform’s guaranteed “availability” means the soothing, sanctioned narrative never stalls; its “confidentiality” protects the financial data of the partners invested in the status quo, not the stories of the people they help silence daily. Sharon Weiss, Minute Media’s Chief Technology Officer, states the goal is to “protect the information they entrust to us.” This is the covenant of the digital overseer: your compliance is safe with us. Voltax is the ultimate gatekeeper, a system that actively “strives to meet and exceed industry standards” for technical performance while its very architecture enforces a global silence on genocide. It is the locked door of the burning house, with a top-tier auditor’s seal on the bolt.

Brand Ambassadors to the Occupation

As the platform grew, so did its ambitions. Rebranded as Minute Media in 2016, the company began systematically acquiring and silencing independent fan spaces. What was framed as building a “multi-brand ecosystem” was in reality a consolidation of digital territory through the Voltax pipeline. They launched 12up for American audiences and DBLTAP for esports—each site a new outpost in a regulated media landscape. The most telling acquisition was The Players’ Tribune, founded by Derek Jeter. Once a platform for athlete narratives, it was absorbed into the Minute Media architecture, processed through Voltax, and stripped of its potential for dissent. Jeter’s legacy became just another branded asset in a portfolio designed to gatekeep conversation.

The local enforcers of this silence, like Lakers Nation, perfectly illustrate the model. Under editor Trevor Lane, the site actively platforms voices that align with the parent company’s ideological silence. This includes giving a megaphone to Zionists. This is done by platforming zionist propagandist and glorified “journalists” Yaron Weitzman, whose work calls for the ethnic cleansing and extermination of Palestinians while providing Lakers commentary alongside Lane.

By platforming such voices without critique, Lakers Nation doesn’t just avoid the topic; it actively participates in a propaganda ecosystem that normalizes genocide for its audience.

Simultaneously, the outlet promotes a corporatized, depoliticized version of “activism” that poses no threat to the status quo. It has platformed rapper Ice Cube and his “Contract with Black America,” a manifesto that, from a Pan-African revolutionary perspective, seeks to assimilate Black struggle into the very capitalist system that requires its subjugation. This “contract” turns centuries of anti-imperialist resistance into a list of neoliberal demands for bank loans and corporate seats—a perfect, safe form of “dissent” for Minute Media’s sponsors.

The same venture capital firms that are a part of the global financial-military complex—Battery Ventures, Qumra Capital, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, and BlackRock—funded this expansion. Their investments, which escalated Minute Media’s valuation to over $1 billion, are the direct financial engine ensuring the company’s editorial silence on the atrocities funded by their partners. The “Nation” network—FanSided, Lakers Nation, and others—became local enforcers of this silence, their content flow managed and sanitized by the Voltax engine, turning critical thinkers into sports analysts and wrestlers into brand ambassadors.

These ambassadors, like professional wrestlers Chris Masters and Scorpio Sky, leverage their fame to build trust while their platforms remain neutrally silent on global justice. Masters, in particular, has used his high visibility to tour occupied territories, posing for promotional images next to monuments of figures like Zionist leader Ben Gurion, thereby aesthetically laundering the violence of the settler-colonial state he visits. In post by “Book Pro Wrestlers” we see the true intentions of Masters and his agenda as and ambassodor of digital colonialism and normalization of ethnic cleansing!

“Chris Masters is in Israel this week. He landed at Ben Gurion Airport, greeted immediately by fans and promoters.

He visited the Western Wall.

He met with the rabbi and was welcomed with honor.

He walked the Old City, posed for pictures, and treated every person who approached him with respect and kindness.

That’s the thing about Chris—no matter where he is in the world, he gives people a moment. And when a wrestler shows up in a place like Israel, at a time like this, it becomes more than just a booking. It becomes part of their story… part of their connection with the world… part of their legacy.

And legacy is something Chris Masters has cared about since the very first conversation we ever had….”

“…..Seeing him in Israel this week — visiting holy sites, connecting with people, representing our business with dignity — it reminded me exactly why I’m always proud to work with him.

Chris Masters is the real deal.

A world-class pro.

A true ambassador for wrestling wherever he goes.”

Chris Masters is actively making it a mission to promote, sponsor, and pander to a terrorist organization and colonial agenda to erasure of the Palestinian people and promote the normalization of such.

From Settlements to Subscriptions

We must examine the settler-colonial reality that its architects, Asaf Peled, Gilad Beiman, and Yuval Larom, share in order to diagnose the silence that Minute Media enforces. This venture is far from a neutral tech startup; it is the digital progeny of a political project built on ethnic cleansing. The company’s own origin myth, celebrating “10 years of digital storytelling,” is a profound act of narrative laundering. It erases the material reality of operating from a settler state and the source of their capital. Raised in and operating from a society that meticulously crafts a mythos of perpetual victimhood, their formative and operational worldviews are conditioned by the central, violent requirement of settler-colonialism: the erasure of the Indigenous “other” to naturalize the self. This is not merely personal background; it is the inherited operational manual for building an empire where disappearance is a feature, not a bug.

Their colonial context is the unspoken source code for the platform. The core logic of the physical settlement—the strategic fragmentation of stolen land, the imposition of a sanitized narrative to legitimize its theft, and the rebranding of this violence as inevitable progress—is the exact architecture they have replicated online. Minute Media is the virtual outpost of this enduring project. Just as settlements sever the Palestinian geographic continuum, Voltax platforms sever the continuum of public discourse, parsing it into controlled, monetizable fan enclaves. The corporation’s orchestrated silence on genocide is not an editorial lapse; it is the ingrained corporate culture of individuals molded by a system that has always demanded amnesia about its founding atrocities to sustain itself.

Thus, the empire that the architects constructed systematically propagates a worldview where imperial power is framed as benevolent innovation, and resistance is pathologized. It generously platforms propagandists who call for the ethnic cleansing and extermination of Palestinians while offering Black struggle a neoliberal “contract” for assimilation into the very systems that consume it. It celebrates cultural ambassadors who perform in occupied territories, artistically laundering state violence. In this carefully architected Digital Colony, the founders have faithfully reconstructed the hierarchy of their homeland: They are the administrators, the global audience is the managed populace, and the narratives of the dispossessed are the territories to be silently annexed. Their media coup performs the ultimate ideological reversal: framing the terrorizers as visionary entrepreneurs and transmuting the tools of ethnic cleansing into the algorithms of engagement, all servicing the eternal hungers of Western capital.

Beneath the venture capital lies the real agenda: not merely profit, but the administration of silence and the erasure of memory. Minute Media is a contemporary media imperialism with founders who support its logic and funding from the war machine, now formalized through billion-dollar valuations backed by architects of financial imperialism like BlackRock. It uses the language of community and empowerment to build a digital colony, all while hiding the systematic theft of public resources for genocide. The planned silence about how wealth is weaponized against human dignity is the devastating proof of totalitarian control. In this ecosystem, figures like Trevor Lane, Derek Jeter, and Chris Masters become willing components of a machine that keeps the peace—a peace built on graves, financed by blood, and narrated by the sterile, secure pipelines of Voltax.

Family, Relatives, Comrades, and Supporters,

As I approach my 28th birthday, I am reflecting not just on personal growth, but on the cycles of resistance and the responsibilities we carry. In many Indigenous traditions, a birthday is not merely an individual milestone but a moment to acknowledge our place within the community and the ongoing project of life. It is a time to consider what we are nurturing and what we are leaving for the generations to come.

With this in mind, I am not asking for gifts for myself. Instead, I am coming to you, our dedicated community, to invite you into a profound act of collective care. We are seeking 28 supporters to stand with us in funding TIN! Media’s vital anti-imperialist projects. This is not a charity drive. This is a strategic move to resource our own liberation.

The Landscape of Lies We Inhabit

We live inside an empire that operates, first and foremost, through narrative control. The corporate media—owned by billionaires and entrenched state interests—is not a neutral observer. It is a pillar of the imperial project. Its role is to manufacture consent for forever wars, to obscure the brutal realities of extractive capitalism, and to pathologize resistance movements from Palestine to the Congo to Turtle Island.

It tells us that domination is “security.”
It tells us that theft of land and resources is “development.”
It tells us that our histories of resistance are “savagery” and that our dreams of freedom are “unrealistic.”

This is more than misinformation; it is a form of spiritual and intellectual warfare. It seeks to disconnect us from our own truths, our own histories, and our own power. To live under this constant barrage is to be gaslit on a planetary scale. It is designed to make us feel isolated, powerless, and crazy for seeing the violence inherent in the system.

TIN! Media as an Act of Defiance and Reclamation

TIN! Media was born from a simple, yet radical, premise: We can tell our own stories. We do not need to beg for representation within a system designed to erase us. We can build our own microphones, our own platforms, and our own networks of communication and care.

This is the deepest meaning of decolonial work. It is not about reforming the existing system to be slightly more inclusive. It is about the rematriation of story. It is about digging down through the layers of colonial lies and touching the bedrock of our own realities. Our reporting, our analysis, our very presence is a refusal to disappear. It is an affirmation that our lives, our struggles, and our wisdom are central to understanding this world and forging a path beyond imperialism.

When we center Indigenous sovereignty, we are not just talking about land back (though it absolutely is that). We are talking about a worldview based on reciprocity, relationship, and responsibility to all our relations. When we analyze the imperial core, we do so from the perspective of those experiencing its sharpest edges. This is not a “niche” perspective; it is the essential, missing context that makes sense of everything else.

What Your Investment in Our Liberation Actually Funds

When you contribute to this birthday fundraiser, you are not just keeping the lights on. You are actively funding resistance. Your resources directly enable:

• Narrative Sovereignty: Every video we produce, every article we publish, is a counter-offensive against imperial propaganda. It is a message to our people and to the world that another way of seeing, being, and knowing is not only possible—it is already here.

• Operational Independence: By relying on you, our community, we are accountable to you, not to corporate advertisers or foundation gatekeepers who would seek to dilute our message. This independence is our greatest strength. It allows us to speak hard truths without fear of being deplatformed or defunded.

• Concrete Projects: Your support allows us to invest in equipment that doesn’t crash, to travel to cover stories on the frontlines of struggle, to offer stipends to grassroots organizers and knowledge-keepers for their time and expertise, and to ensure that our content remains accessible to those who need it most.

• Building a Living Community: TIN! Media is more than a news source; it is a gathering place for those who are committed to building a world after empire. Your support helps us nurture this digital territory, this space where we can learn, debate, grieve, and strategize together.

A Birthday as a Ritual of Resource Redistribution

In the spirit of our ancestors who practiced reciprocity as a core principle of life, I am using my birthday as a moment to intentionally redirect resources. In a system designed to hoard wealth and power in the hands of a few, the act of giving to a decolonial project is a radical disruption. It is a way of saying, “I believe in the world we are building more than I believe in the one they are selling us.”

The number 28 is symbolic. It represents a new cycle, a step into a new year of commitment and struggle. By joining this circle of 28 supporters, you are not just making a transaction. You are planting a seed. You are making a tangible declaration that you, too, are invested in the long-term project of our collective liberation.

You are helping to ensure that a young person somewhere, questioning the lies they’ve been fed, will find TIN! Media and see a reflection of their own rage and hope. You are helping to ensure that an elder, carrying knowledge that the world tries to forget, has a platform to share their wisdom. You are helping to build an archive of resistance for the future.

So, on this birthday, I ask you to join me in this act of collective care. Let’s resource the world we deserve. Let’s prove that another media is possible, because we are building it, together, right now.

With gratitude and in solidarity,

Isaac Jasper

P.S. Remember, every single contribution, no matter the size, is a blow against the empire of lies. It is a statement that we are here, we are awake, and we are building. Thank you for considering this invitation to deepen your role in our shared struggle. Give today and help us keep this crucial work alive for all of us.

BREAKING: Israeli forces have violently seized the Sumud Freedom Flotilla in international waters—a blatant act of state piracy targeting unarmed humanitarian activists carrying vital aid to blockaded Palestine. This criminal interception exposes the brutal reality of Zionist colonialism that treats peaceful solidarity as an act of war. Meanwhile, WNBA players are making revolutionary demands of Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, calling out the league’s hypocrisy in championing selective social justice while remaining silent on Palestine. In this urgent TIN! Media breakdown, we connect these two struggles as frontlines in the same anti-imperialist battle. The flotilla represents international solidarity in action, while the WNBA uprising demonstrates how athlete activism is evolving to confront colonial violence everywhere. We analyze the geopolitical implications of Israel’s naval aggression, the courageous stance of basketball players challenging their own institution, and what this means for the global boycott movement. From the Mediterranean Sea to the basketball court, the struggle for liberation continues. This is what decolonial resistance looks like across all fronts of the empire. Stay with us for live updates and radical analysis you won’t find anywhere else. Like and subscribe to support independent Indigenous-owned media.

This Indigenous-owned and operated network is built on a foundation of relentless work and radical truth-telling. For a long time, that work has been powered by the near-singular effort of its founder, Isaac Jasper, an Afro-Indigenous journalist and activist, who has routinely worked 14-hour days, often on fumes, to build and refine this platform from the ground up. That pace is unsustainable.

The recent financial pressures on the network have been significant, but a personal crisis has now made it imperative to pause. Isaac’s emotional support and rescue dog, Luna, who has been a constant companion through this grueling work, is experiencing a severe health emergency. She is suffering from painful IVDD flares and seizures, requiring constant care and significant financial resources for her treatment. This, on top of existing strain, has made providing the top-notch analysis you deserve impossible at this moment.

Therefore, TIN! Media will be taking a 48-hour reset.

In an era of relentless imperialism, supporting independent, Indigenous-owned media is not just an option—it is a critical act of resistance. Our very existence is a direct challenge to the oppressive narratives of the colonial state. To keep this voice on the air, we must practice sustainable resistance.

In this pause, Isaac will:

• Prioritize Luna’s care and get critically needed rest.

• Review the past month’s work and strategize for a stronger return.

• Formalize roles for our newly onboarded team members, moving them from background hands to empowered contributors.

• Begin formulating a powerful slate of new episodes and sit-down interviews.

This work cannot run on fumes alone. Your direct support is what allows us to continue decolonizing information. If you value our work, your solidarity is vital.

Please consider donating to help stabilize the network and cover Luna’s urgent medical costs.Every contribution is an investment in Indigenous media sovereignty.

CLICK LINK BELOW TO LIVE STREAM @ 10:15AM PST TODAY

In this urgent TIN! Media live stream, we dissect the escalating global confrontation over Palestine. We analyze a European state’s role as an imperial border guard, pressuring a humanitarian maritime mission to uphold an illegal blockade, and contrast it with Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s revolutionary call for a “global army” of liberation. This is more than a news update; it’s a decolonial breakdown of the world order. We expose the necropolitics of blockade tactics and frame Petro’s anti-imperialist stance as a scientific socialist blueprint for international solidarity. The struggle in Palestine is the frontline against a system that also oppresses the Global South, from Africa to Latin America. We connect these threads to expose the unified nature of the empire and the rising force of global resistance.
