📢 Freedom Over Fascism News — November 24, 2025 | Updates and Actions You Can Take Today
🗽 Freedom Over Fascism News & Actions for November 24, 2025. Freedom is a daily act of advocacy and holding our leaders accountable to the will of the people.
Today in Freedom Over Fascism we’re featuring: November 24, 2025 news briefs, video briefs, and calls-to-action. Freedom is a daily act of advocacy and holding our leaders accountable to the will of the people.
Together we can advocate for Freedom Over Fascism:
When leaders escape accountability, it signals that power—not justice—rules, eroding trust, fueling corruption, and opening the door to authoritarianism. Billionaire-backed members of Congress, 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.
Freedom Over Fascism - News Briefs
📢 A classic authoritarian tactic: outrage over Trump’s pardons for friends and allies
Trump’s wave of pardons and commutations for political allies has sparked criticism for acting as a tool of personal loyalty rather than justice—what many term a hallmark of authoritarianism. High-profile supporters of the administration have received clemency despite ongoing controversies, raising questions about the pardon power’s role in democratic accountability. Legal analysts warn that this pattern erodes the norm of equality before the law and opens the door to cronyism under the guise of executive discretion. — The Guardian
📖 The 1935 Novel That Predicted Trump’s Second Term
Sinclair Lewis’s 1935 novel portrayed a democratic collapse into authoritarianism and it appears that many of its warnings seem to mirror today’s political dynamics. Sinclair Lewis imagined an American version of the rise of fascism in Europe. His predictions didn’t come true then, but seem eerily familiar now. The book offers urgent insight into how democracy might be undermined when vigilance fails. — The Nation

Trump defends Saudi crown prince, who US intelligence found ordered killing of Washington Post columnist

📜 The Fight Against Authoritarian Creep Gets Great News From an Unlikely State
In Marion County, Kansas, local officials—emboldened by national authoritarian rhetoric—attempted to restrict free speech and expand their enforcement powers. Their actions backfired, resulting in a $3 million payout and a formal apology to the local newspaper, the Marion County Record. This serves as an important reminder: vigilance at the local level is essential to protecting free speech, democratic norms, and institutional safeguards, even in places where we might least expect these rights to be threatened. — Slate

How Project 2025 shifts the USA towards a fascist regime
Project 2025 is a blatant power grab designed to give extreme MAGA Republicans unchecked control. Donald Trump and his Republican allies plan to use it to criminalize abortion and those seeking asylum, attack the poor and middle class, and dismantle essential programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, SNAP, and veterans’ benefits.
Under Trump’s Project 2025, Republicans intend to impose a nationwide abortion ban and create a national registry to monitor women’s pregnancies and miscarriages. They even threaten to imprison doctors and nurses who provide essential care.
If enacted, Project 2025 would also gut the Affordable Care Act, leading to higher healthcare costs for everyone and a loss of protections for pre-existing conditions. Workers would lose their right to overtime pay, and middle-class families would face tax hikes—all while wealthy corporations receive new handouts.
Republicans’ Project 2025 includes a detailed plan to dismantle Social Security and Medicare as we know them. This means slashing benefits for seniors and allowing Big Pharma to charge exorbitant prices for medication.

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
Together, we can protect and empower those we love, champion our rights, freedoms, and democracy, hold our leaders accountable to the people's will, and inspire voters to make a meaningful difference.
