Hi, my name is Jordan.

I am a writer, community builder, certified loudmouth, and I help the fed up reclaim their voice for themselves, their communities, and democracy.

If there is one thing you should know about me is I have always been the person who has a hard time biting my tongue. I can’t let one act of perceived injustice go unnoticed. I get myself in trouble for asking too many questions. And I have little patience for dishonesty. 

Yes, for better or for worse, I am that person. 

So when my U.S. Department of Justice office was dismantled by the DOGE in 2025, I did what I felt I had to do. Filled with heartbreak and rage, I founded The Fed Up to reconnect with my voice as an act of catharsis and protest. I needed a place to process what had just happened, connect with others going through the same thing, while also using a platform to speak out against the injustice I was seeing firsthand. 

It was this practice— honesty and vulnerability practiced out loud in community— that guided me back to myself during this period of ongoing uncertainty.

Since, I have found understanding with so many of you who share the same fears, are asking the same questions, and seeking greater meaning in your lives. So many times I have heard friends and acquaintances say that they too wish they could use their voice, if only they were  confident enough, brave enough, sure enough… and all I can think to say is, Yes, of course you can. I promise! 

So The Fed Up is evolving. It is a Substack publication and online community that nurtures a growing community of loudmouths and wannabe loudmouths who want to say the true thing out loud, together.

I am so glad you found us.
