History isn’t neutral. It never has been. And in this moment, telling the truth is an act of resistance.
Tad Stoermer is a resistance historian. His work exposes the lies we inherit, the myths we cling to, and the power structures that depend on both. He doesn’t tell stories to comfort — he tells them to confront, to clarify, and to compel action.
In an era when authoritarianism is rebranded as patriotism, Tad uses history as a weapon — not just to remember, but to resist. He is the author of the forthcoming A Resistance History of the United States (Steerforth Press, 2026), a book built on case studies of defiance throughout our history — the stories of those who refused to comply and what lessons we can learn from them today. His work defines resistance as action without permission, and history as the battleground where that fight is remembered — or erased.
With over 200,000 engaged followers, Tad leads a growing digital movement committed to historical accountability. His voice cuts through sanitized myths and curated nostalgia, pushing institutions and audiences alike to face the truths they’ve been taught to avoid.
He doesn’t ask who we were. He asks what we’re willing to become.
Stay defiant. Stay accountable. And above all, stay awake.
