// About the project

We've got the receipts.

Roused.org is a grassroots video research platform for political media. It exists to make the record harder to bury: every claim clipped, timestamped, sourced, and cited so anyone can check it for themselves.

It is anonymous by default. There are no engagement algorithms, no vanity metrics, and no infinite feed engineered to keep you scrolling. The goal is the archive — not your attention.

What you can do here

Clip & timestamp

Pull the exact moment a claim was made. Transcripts are timestamped so the tape is checkable to the second.

Build arguments

Anchor evidence to videos, assemble a cited argument, and let the community verify it.

Follow the money

Track influencers, curators, and recurring narratives across the archive.

How it works

Videos are ingested from public sources, transcribed, and analyzed. Community members annotate, tag, and connect them into arguments and collections. Everything is sourced back to the original clip so nothing has to be taken on faith.

Get involved

Roused.org is in private beta. Join the waitlist on the front page, or preview the archive at /browse.
