Today in Freedom Over Fascism we’re featuring: December 22, 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
🚨 White House Refuses to Rule Out Summary Executions of People on Its Secret Domestic Terrorist List
An Intercept investigation reveals a classified policy that expands the definition of domestic terrorism and revives execution authority under a national security framework. It describes how vague criteria could be used to target political activists and protest movements. Legal experts warn the policy bypasses due process protections and invites abuse of power. The reporting raises alarms about authoritarian use of counterterrorism tools. — The Intercept
🧨 “Trump Has Appointed Himself Judge, Jury, and Executioner”
A controversial video showing a boat strike incident near Venezuela has sparked intense scrutiny, raising questions about both the event itself and how President Trump sidesteps accountability. “The Trump administration is killing civilians in the Caribbean and Pacific and trying to suppress videos of boat strikes and press coverage.” Critics warn that only Congress has the power to authorize war and that President Trump is overstepping the limits of his power. — The Intercept
🇩🇪 Germany summons Russian ambassador over alleged sabotage, cyberattacks and election interference
Germany has formally summoned Russia’s ambassador to protest a series of alleged hostile activities attributed to Russian state actors, including sabotage, cyberattacks, and attempts to interfere in European elections. German officials condemned these actions as assaults on democratic processes and national security, underscoring broader tensions between Western nations and Russia. “ ‘The goal of these Russian cyber and disinformation attacks is clear: It is to divide society, stir up mistrust, provoke rejection, and weaken confidence in democratic institutions,’ German foreign ministry spokesperson Martin Giese said.” The diplomatic move aims to hold Russia accountable while rallying allies around stronger defenses against such threats. — Seattle Times
🌍 Merz compares Putin to Hitler
German political leader Friedrich Merz drew a stark parallel between Russian President Vladimir Putin and and Adolf Hitler, asserting that Putin’s actions in Ukraine and broader foreign policy resemble early acts of aggressive expansionism in Europe. The comparison is intended to underscore the perceived threat that Putin’s government poses to European security and democratic norms. “ ‘Just as the Sudetenland was not enough in 1938, Putin will not stop,’ Merz told a party conference in Germany.” The remarks reflect heightened tensions within European politics as leaders grapple with Russia’s ongoing military posture. — Politico.eu
Urgent Calls to Action to Champion Freedom Over Fascism:
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.
