My name is Dominic Xavier Box — DomFreePress. I am a Political Weaponization Expert. Not a theorist. Not a talking head. I lived it, documented it, survived it, and now I force the people in power to answer for it.

I earned a degree in International Relations from the University of Arkansas. I reported from the southern border, including Juárez with a Vice crew. I freelanced and consulted with major outlets — HBO, CNN, Vice, NPR, Fox, and others. HBO put me in Four Hours at the Capitol. I was already doing the work before the regime decided to make an example out of me.

On January 6, 2021, I went to D.C. as a citizen journalist. I livestreamed everything. I refused every plea deal. They charged me, convicted me in a bench trial, and locked me in a political gulag for 549 days across 11 different facilities. President Trump pardoned me on day one. I walked out on Valentine’s Day 2025 and went straight back to work.

That experience is my credential. In Savannah I put Mike Collins on the record: when the federal government destroys American lives, it owes them. He said yes. Within 24 hours Jon Ossoff was forced to say my name out loud and call me a “leader of the attack on the Capitol.” Even Michael Fanone called me “productively provocative.” Good. I am.

After a taxpayer-funded federal prison vacation, legitimate employment became nearly impossible. So I stopped asking permission. I poured every dollar and every ounce of energy into building my own way. I now run two demanding, real businesses: Coastal Cowboys: Lowcountry Solutions and my independent journalism and political accountability work. That is the only path left — and I own it.

I don't have a corporate newsroom paying the bills.

I don't have a political machine behind me.

I have you.

Here's how you can help:

1. $10 buys a tank of gas to the next story
2. $50 covers a day of editing and hosting costs
3. $250 funds a piece of field equipment
4. $1,000+ keeps me in the field for a month, no compromises

If you've followed my work, shared my reporting, watched the livestreams, or simply believe independent voices should have the freedom to keep doing this — click the donate button above and give what you can. 

Every dollar keeps a man who has already paid the price in the fight — documenting the weaponization, forcing candidates onto the record, and refusing to shut up.

Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum — Let justice be done though the heavens fall.
