🗽 Freedom Over Fascism
🗽 Freedom is a daily act of advocacy and holding our leaders accountable to the will of the people.
Today in Freedom Over Fascism we’re featuring: Project 2025 training updates, October 28, 2024 news briefs, a statement from People Power United, and calls-to-action.
Billionaire-bought justices and the wealthy few are striving to strip us of our fundamental rights and liberties. Their aim is not to represent us but to rule over us. They employ illicit schemes to swindle, suppress, and undermine the voice of the majority of Americans.
Our response is to unite, reveal their dishonesty, demand transparency and accountability from those in power, and ardently support Independence over Totalitarianism. A well-informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.
Together we can champion Freedom Over Fascism

‘Pure Fascism’: Authoritarianism Expert Breaks Down Trump’s Madison Square Garden Rally
Huff Post By Lee Moran
Authoritarianism expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat delivered a damning critique of former President Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday. The history professor at New York University, who has warned extensively of the dictatorial threats posed by the Republican presidential nominee, used X (formerly Twitter) to comment on multiple controversial moments at the event.
This Is Not a Drill. Fascism Is on the Ballot
Common Dreams By Norman Solomon
The conclusion that Donald Trump is a fascist has gone mainstream, gaining wide publicity and affirmation in recent weeks. Such understanding is a problem for Trump and his boosters. At the same time, potentially pivotal in this close election, a small proportion of people who consider themselves to be progressive still assert that any differences between Trump and Kamala Harris are not significant enough to vote for Harris in swing states.
LA Times Letter to the Editor
Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, Trump’s longest-serving White House chief of staff, has said the former president fits the definition of a fascist. To the editor: I grew up in Coronado as a military brat. My male ancestors fought in every American battle for freedom and justice, from the Revolutionary War to the Korean War. My father and grandfather both served as Naval officers during World War II and emulated a steadfast allegiance to their country and its institutions.
What is fascism? A look at the term being hurled at Donald Trump
ABC News By Kiara Alfonseca
Trump's former chief of staff called him a fascist. Former President Donald Trump has recently been called a "fascist" by his former chief of staff, John Kelly, his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, and leading historian Robert Paxton. Kelly, a former four-star Marine general and former chief of staff to Trump, hammered his old boss as a "fascist" in a New York Times interview.
Is It Fascism? A Leading Historian Changes His Mind.
NY Times By Elisabeth Zerofsky
The historian Robert Paxton spent Jan. 6, 2021, glued to his television. Paxton was at his apartment in Upper Manhattan when he watched a mob march toward the Capitol, overrun the security barriers and then the police cordons and break inside. Many in the crowd wore red MAGA baseball caps, while some sported bright-orange beanies signaling their membership in the Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group. A few were dressed more fantastically. Who are these characters in camouflage and antlers?

Freedom Over Fascism - Statement on Project 2025
People Power United declares Fascism a clear and present danger to our rights, freedoms, democracy, and the rule of law.
In response to recent MAGA shenanigans to promote Fascism, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - issued the following statement:
“MAGA Republicans have no interest in representing us. They want to rule over us. Freedom is a daily act of advocacy and holding our leaders accountable to the will of the people. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices,” said Laurie Woodward García of People Power United.
People Power United will continue to oppose such harm to our community and champion civil rights for all.
Project 2025 would shift power to a fascist regime
Donald Trump’s Project 2025 is a blatant power grab that aims to give extreme MAGA Republicans unchecked authority. They plan to use this power to criminalize abortion, undermine the middle class, and dismantle Social Security and Medicare.
Under Trump’s Project 2025, Republicans intend to impose a nationwide abortion ban and create a national registry to monitor women’s pregnancies and miscarriages. They even threaten to imprison doctors and nurses who provide essential care.
If enacted, Project 2025 would also gut the Affordable Care Act, leading to higher healthcare costs for everyone and a loss of protections for pre-existing conditions. Workers would lose their right to overtime pay, and middle-class families would face tax hikes—all while wealthy corporations receive new handouts.
Republicans' Project 2025 includes a detailed plan to dismantle Social Security and Medicare as we know them. This means slashing benefits for seniors and allowing Big Pharma to charge exorbitant prices for medication.
Join us to build People Power! Together, we can champion our rights, freedoms, and democracy, hold our leaders accountable to the people's will, and inspire voters to make a meaningful difference.
