Resist Project 2025 - News Briefs

🚔 Trump “National Police Force” Built on ICE Partnerships With Local Agencies Like… Wildlife Commissions?

• A new investigation reveals how the Trump administration is using ICE partnerships and 287(g) programs to create a de facto national police force. The expansion blurs lines between local and federal law enforcement, heightening fears of political policing and repression. — The Intercept

💼 How the shutdown enabled the Trump administration’s mass firing spree

• The government shutdown is giving Trump officials broad power to fire federal employees, freeze pay, and reshape agencies under the guise of austerity. Critics warn this is a calculated effort to gut nonpartisan civil service roles and replace them with political loyalists. — Axios

🎈 Inflatable costumes used to deflate tensions at rallies against Trump — in photos

• From giant unicorns to inflatable bananas, protesters used humor and creativity to de-escalate tensions at anti-Trump rallies across the country. The whimsical displays offered a moment of levity amid a growing movement opposing authoritarianism and state violence. — The Seattle Times

🎧 If Voting Rights Act Falls

• This episode examines what’s at stake if the Supreme Court dismantles key provisions of the Voting Rights Act. Legal experts and activists warn that overturning these protections could open the door to widespread voter suppression and minority disenfranchisement. — The Atlantic

🔍 “Antifa” Protesters Charged With Terrorism for Constitutionally Protected Activity

• After shots were fired at a protest against ICE, federal prosecutors pursued guilt-by-association charges against two protesters. Civil rights advocates say the effort weaponizes counterterrorism powers to silence dissent and expand mass surveillance. — The Intercept

Together, we can Resist and Stop Project 2025

When leaders escape accountability, it signals that power—not justice—rules, eroding trust, fueling corruption, and opening the door to authoritarianism. Billionaire-backed justices and elites aren’t serving the people—they’re scheming to suppress our voices, strip away our rights, and rule over us. But progress and power to the people is more than an idea; it’s a movement. By standing up, speaking out, and demanding dignity, opportunity, and justice for all, we can build an America that truly lives up to its promise.

Project 2025 is Harming Americans

Project 2025 is an extreme, authoritarian agenda that threatens American democracy, freedoms, and civil rights. Backed by conservative mega-donors like the Koch family and led by the Heritage Foundation and over 100 aligned groups, it lays out a 900+ page plan to centralize power under the presidency and permanently dismantle the federal government as we know it.

The plan would replace 50,000 nonpartisan civil servants with loyalists, grant the president near-total control over agencies like the DOJ, FBI, and Federal Reserve, and criminalize protest through militarized policing. It seeks to ban abortion and contraception, end LGBTQIA+ protections, dismantle public education, eliminate Medicaid and Medicare, and defund labor, environmental, and disability protections. Promoting Christian nationalism, it would erase the separation of church and state, suppress voting rights, and silence dissent—paving the way for a permanent far-right dictatorship.

Summary of Harms:

• Dismantles democracy and installs authoritarian rule

• Criminalizes dissent and minority communities

• Ends reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights

• Defunds public healthcare and education

• Destroys labor, environmental, and disability protections

• Increases tax burdens on working people

• Erases civil rights and church/state separation

• Suppresses voting and opposition voices

We must organize, resist, and protect our communities from this dangerous assault.

How do we fight Fascism?

Hope

Hope is a powerful weapon against fascism, serving as both a shield and a rallying cry in the face of fear and oppression. While fascism thrives on division, despair, and apathy, hope inspires unity, action, and resilience. Hope empowers us to envision a society built on equality, justice, and freedom, motivating us to take meaningful steps to protect these values.

Respect

Respect is a formidable weapon against fascism, countering its foundation of hatred and dehumanization with dignity and inclusivity. By leading with respect, we create a society where collaboration and compassion overpower fear and division, rendering fascism powerless in the face of unity.

Unity

Unity is one of the most powerful weapons against fascism, as it dismantles the divide-and-conquer tactics that authoritarian regimes rely on to maintain power.

🗽The strength of a nation is not its ability to fight wars, but rather by its ability to prevent them. - Gene Roddenberry
