Keep Track
Keeping Track of the 2nd Trump administration!
One thing Donald Trump and the extreme right were very good at doing is burying the track record of his first presidency from 2017 to 2021.
Keep Track is dedicated to literally keeping track, day by day, of the policy decisions made by the new Trump Administration.
That is not to say we're interested in the crazy things he says or tweets, he clocked over 30,000 lies the last time he was in office, I don't see how it's possible to track all of that. This is about POLICY. Nominees, executive orders, signed laws, and so on.
Subject line format should be {{date}} {{event}} so: "01-20-2025 - Trump is sworn in."
The international date format of 2025-01-20 is also acceptable!
Links should be to verifiable news sources, not social media or blog sites. So no Xitter/Truth/Youtube/Substack/etc. etc.

Decentralize the shit out of this, please. Make sure their tech-heads know that the document itself is unkillable. It'll always pop up somewhere else.
This is a fantastic idea, at least in some form.
The category of information could stand as much defining as possible. I like where it's going, laying out lies and dog whistles and incorrectly defined terms.
The first column in a table is labeled "reality", in black lettering, and it says, for example, "I will underpay you and you will sing my praises for it", and the second column is labeled "fascist lie", with words written in red, and in red letters it says "personal responsibility". Lead with the truth. Eye is drawn to the truth, so maybe red is bad if it draws the eye, even though it's also the color for "incorrect". These are the choices that matter.
You could refine those substitutions to make a little fascist translator. Maybe re-write key lines of relevant speeches in translated form.
Just riffing. Whatever it becomes, make sure you state the facts in a way where you actually communicate them, as opposed to some idiot headline like "jd vance says (random lie)", helping the lie instead of helping the truth.
Very much like this idea, in a lot of variations.
My inclination is, focus up. You'll have sticking power through focus more than being an all in one shop. Maybe. If you feel a strong pull otherwise, then maybe not.
