A list of fascist acts that I wish to cover, but have not. (and very likely most of these will not be covered)

Top Concerns (To Review)

This page is a work in progress, but here are some of my top concerns that I'm already aware of. I have much more research + fact checking to do. I plan to collect links for more reading, but have not done so yet.

• Deporting the protester (or attempting to) for exercising free speech
• USAID funding cut, plus failing to follow court orders, plus Supreme Court's narrow ruling
• Two sexes executive order is not scientifically or socially accurate
• Pardoning insurrectionists who literally tried to violently overthrow the federal government
• Arguing for complete presidential immunity
• Kicking journalists out of the pentagon and replacing them with right wing outlets (Didn't journalists get kicked out of the whitehouse too?)
• ending birthright citizenship
• Failing to follow laws already passed by congress and previously signed into law. (USAID, cutting funding for depts, or attempting to abolish congressionally established departments)
• Installing a billionaire nazi (musk) into the federal government

Priority 2 concerns (to review)

Concerns that are quite alarming, but maybe not quite as much as my top concerns. It's hard to sort these, because they're all pretty horrible, but some are definitely worse than others.

• Banning (or attempting to ban) gender-affirming medical care
• Filing lawsuits against universities for racism because they implemented DEI policies
• doj dropped the case against trump's co-defendents in the documents case
• locking up up to 30,000 migrants in guantanamo bay
• Giving musk access to the private data of citizens & keeping it on a private server (and not doing a PIA, as required by law)
• Suing illinois for sanctuary city laws
• Eliminating department of education (a department established and funded by congress?)
• Punishing media for oppositional messaging (suing abc news for "rape" comment, all his rhetoric attacking the media)
• Threatening to punish political opponents

Articles/issues to review

I'm working to review articles and categorize issues based on the severity. These also all need to be fact checked. Some are based on articles i read, some are info I got from friends, some are just news snippets/headlines that I've seen. Most of this is stuff I wrote down during the first week or two of February, and I have not kept up much on the news since then, so I'm probably missing a lot.

• invading schools and local communities with ICE
• disrupting federal operations (funding/hiring freeze)
• Blaming every problem on DEI and immigrants
• Creating racial fear with lies (hatians eating pets) & exagerations (migrant crime)
• blatant lies (Trump's great immigration chart, the one from when he got shot.)
• Using funding to pressure schools into concealing the truth (dei, critical race theory, lbtqia+/gender stuff)
• Installing a hyper partisan supreme courtj
• Supporting abortion bans
• private companies changing policies to align with the president (Facebook ending fact checking, tons of corpos ending dei programs)
• Trump saying it would be cheaper to imprison American criminals elsewhere (el salvador, rubio)
• pulling out of international coalitions (paris climate accords, UN human rights council)
• Isolationist/nationalistic tariffs and trade policie
• the whole DOGE "tell me five things you did last week" email debacle
• Attempting to get federal workers to quit by spamming them with resignation emails

Lines I draw

These are specific acts that, if crossed, I would firmly believe that Fascism is here.

• President denying/not following court orders
• Policing arresting teachers for using trans pronouns, or arresting librarians for failing to ban books
• Using military courts to try citizens
  • Uganda did this, and then the Ugandan Supreme Court ruled it was illegal, and the president said that the Supreme Court got it wrong and was planning to continue doing it.
• Putting people in concentration camps (or prisons) without due process
• President directly violating the constitution (deporting citizens protected by the 14th amendment, or even trying to)
• "Nicaragua legislature ratifies constitutional reforms granting president control over all state branches"
