About
I read about current events constantly, and at some point I realized a couple things. First, that a lot of people have never heard of many of these events. Second, that some of the events we do hear about can slip by unnoticed, because they rely on unfamiliar terms or bureaucratic processes that are easy to tune out. Those quiet ones are frequently the ones doing the deepest damage to our democracy, chipping away at decades of court precedent or centuries-old constitutional interpretation. I wanted a single place that gathers these events and makes it easy to find and easy to understand. This resource is just as much a tool for myself as it is a tool I want to share to help others.
I rely on sources that are not behind a paywall, so anyone can read and verify what they find here. I copied the text of the majority of the sources so key information is backed up and easily searchable from any page. All these resources are available to go as shallow or as deep as you’d like to go. I will also continue to update the events, add new ones and rewrite summaries and backgrounds for as long as Trump and his enablers continue causing damage.
I hope this project changes a few minds. And for the people who already see that the Trump administration, and the complicity that surrounds it, is harming our society and eroding our democracy, I hope it serves as a useful resource you can turn to and share.
Donate to This Project
Please only consider giving if you can comfortably afford to. This project is free to read and always will be, and no one should ever spend money they actually need on it.
If you are in a position to give, the causes below deserve your support far more than I do. Please give to them first. They feed people, document information, do real journalism, defend people and help keep them free, and that work matters more than anything I have put together here. Only after you have supported the causes you care about, and only if you still have some to comfortably spare, would I be grateful for a small tip toward keeping this project online.
