*** Must Read: Joel Grey: 'Cabaret' Was a Warning. It's Time to Heed It.
New York Times By Joel Grey
The parallels between the rise of fascism in 1930s Berlin as depicted in the show and the mounting tensions of the 1960s in America were both obvious and ominous. I played the Emcee - the Kit Kat Club's master of distraction, keeping Berlin mesmerized while Nazism slipped in through the back door.
Trump’s Cabinet Nominees Are Not a Joke, They’re a Fascism-Inspired Dare
Common Dreams By Ryan Skinnell
As a professor of rhetoric who studies Nazism, fascism, and demagoguery, I've watched Trump’s cabinet picks with mounting unease. The majority of them are so egregiously unfit for the offices they're nominated to run, it seems like a perverse joke.

Trump cabinet criticized as hodgepodge team unified only by ‘absolute fealty’ to him

Join us for a digital town hall featuring Senator Kirsten Gillibrand regarding the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and the critical window we have to publish this protection before the second Trump administration. This event will dive into the history, significance, current status of the ERA, and how we can all take action. President Biden has the authority, responsibility, and opportunity to institute this critical protection for women, girls, and LGBTQIA+ Americans. For this to happen, we need a mass grassroots movement campaign urging him to take action. Whether you're new to the ERA or a lifelong advocate, this is your chance to learn, connect, and take action. This is one of the most impactful actions we, the American people, can take in these remaining weeks ahead of the next presidential administration.

Donald Trump was elected President, but he is not a leader
When leaders escape accountability, it sends a chilling message: that power, not justice, reigns supreme. This erodes trust, destabilizes society, and paves the way for authoritarianism to take root.
History has shown us that unchecked power breeds corruption, oppression, and the silencing of voices—threatening the very freedoms we hold dear.
But we have the power to change the course of history. Now, more than ever, it’s time unite, champion people power and progress, and demand accountability and justice for all. Together, we can protect our democracy and secure a future where fairness and equality prevail. Join us and be part of a movement that demands accountability and justice for all.
More resources are coming, but today, please join our Not Above the Law Rapid Response Team and sign on to our Freedom Over Fascism pledge.
Statement on Project 2025
People Power United declares Project 2025 is a clear and present danger to our rights, freedoms, democracy, and the rule of law.
In response to recent MAGA shenanigans to enact Project 2025, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - issued the following statement:
“Project 2025 is a dangerous plan to move America from a democracy to a theocratic autocracy. 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.
Here is a brief list of the harms Project 2025 would cause to our communities:
Gives the President "Supreme Powers."
Fires 50,000 federal workers and replaces them with loyalists
Militarizes law enforcement
Replaces public education with Christian education
Criminalizes people based on their race, country of origin, religion, sexual orientation, identity, age, pronouns, race, religion, ethnicity, abilities, and the money in their bank account. Exceptions made for the ‘Supreme Leader’ and loyalists.
Ends reproductive freedom
Defunds all affordable housing efforts and shifts to a privatizing model with a rollback of efforts to protect renters and property owners
Dismantles environmental protections
Criminalizes immigrants
