Hi everyone, I’m preparing the third issue of a weekly newsletter that summarizes important developments related to U.S. governance, civil liberties, and institutional accountability. The goal is to provide a clear, accessible roundup of headlines that might otherwise slip through the cracks, along with practical tools and resources for staying informed and prepared.

We’re keeping it ad-free and nonpartisan, focused on media literacy and awareness. If you checked out either of the first two issues, I’d love to hear what you think so far. Is there a specific topic or area you’d like to see more of in the next edition?

Issue 3 comes out Thursday. Issue two is here: https://autocracywatch.com/p/second-issue-april-3-2025.

Open to ideas and suggestions! Thanks for reading, and for caring about staying informed.

If posts like this aren’t a good fit for the subreddit, just let me know and I’ll take it down - no hard feelings.

We need help. Please.

The Issue:

This struggle is deeply personal. My family—my mother with her health, insurance and social security, my own cancer care, and my children’s education—is under substantial strain. This is a plight faced by millions of families across the world, and it is due in part to the actions of one individual: Donald Trump. We urge the international community to uphold justice by conducting a global referendum to remove Donald Trump from power. His divisive rhetoric and policies have led to infringements on fundamental human rights and freedoms. Moreover, there are alarmingly substantial grounds to investigate him for war crimes, domestic terrorism, and usurping democratic principles. A BBC report (2019) notes international concerns about increased domestic division and heightening of racial tensions during Trump's tenure. Additionally, several international rights bodies have accused him of violating international law (CNN, 2020). We are united in this global fight for justice, for our family's future, and so for countless households worldwide. It is resilience, not surrender, which guides us. Stand with us. Demand a referendum. Hold Donald Trump accountable. Sign this petition.

What I've noticed is that our current online foundations are very shaky.

So I suggest we all get everyone of the people onto these platforms/apps/websites to grow together (Most of these are on Bluesky & I believe Mastodon via @)

The more united we all are/ the people in-person, & online the better (Only online privately, & anonymously for people in countries where there is serious risk to themselves & those they love involved). With each person on these, taking action, inspiring each other, & collaborating that makes us all stronger. Adding to the resistance with an extra person/people who can put any skills they have to use or be taught how to help. So please try these out, then get others on board, & recommend communities/organizations/people getting things done to follow/help out by doing with them

You can have all your people covered online and all be adaptable to get things done. Uniting privately/anonymously
