Keep Track

For the past few days, an idea has been swishing around in my brain: Could we create a wiki to track fascism in the US, aswell as give advice on how to resist (or stay safe from) it? I feel much more could be accomplished with a community driven wiki then an app or website that summarizes executive orders/goals of project 2025. Im most interested in tracking how different actions connect to create something much more dangerous then the actions on their own (for example: pornography being criminalized combined with labeling trans people as pornography) creating guides for effective and safe protest, HRT access, fleeing the US, etc, and archiving leaked US memos.

I have mediawiki experience, and could definitely set up something for this, thing is, a wiki like what is suggested above would only be helpful if it had active contributers. So before advertising it anywhere else, I would like to see how much interest there is for a wiki, as well as potential problems and suggestions.

Summary

The U.S. Senate confirmed Kash Patel as FBI director in a 51-49 vote on Thursday.

His nomination, marked by controversy over his loyalty to Trump, raises concerns about the bureau’s independence.

Patel, a former public defender turned prosecutor and top aide in the Trump administration, declined to rule out politically motivated investigations, particularly against Trump’s opponents.

His confirmation follows his contentious role in the Trump classified documents case and reflects his alignment with a unitary executive model.

Summary

The CDC has halted its “Wild to Mild” flu vaccination campaign, which used animal imagery to illustrate how immunization can lessen flu symptoms.

The campaign was discontinued following a review by the Department of Health and Human Services during Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s early tenure at HHS.

The decision comes amid a severe flu season with record hospitalizations, despite the campaign’s effectiveness in reaching millions through digital and transit ads.

A dictatorship, if you can keep it

This isn’t mine, but it seems relevant for this community.

"Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide, at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency.  Emergency protective measures, limited to direct federal assistance, will be provided at 75 percent Federal funding."

I thought FEMA was out of money? 🤔

Somehow the White House completely failed to mention the name of this released hostage. They made it all about Trump. The hostage is journalist Andrey Kuznechyk.

Marc Hilliard Fogel is an American schoolteacher who was arrested in August 2021 by Russian authorities for trying to enter Russia with 0.6 ounces (17 g) of medical cannabis. In June 2022, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison. He was released from Russia on February 11, 2025 -- Wikipedia
