The National Institutes of Health will partner with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to create a database of Americans with autism, using insurance claims, medical records and smartwatch data.

Chapter 43: Regret Is Not Redemption You told us we were being dramatic. That Trump wasn’t really dangerous. That Project 2025 was just a wishlist. You laughed. And now babies are screaming while mothers are dragged away in the street. ICE agents are saying, “We don’t have to show you anything.”

We’ve lost family we grew up with, who now call us brainwashed, ungrateful, miserable and “Why can’t you just move on?” We’ve lost friendships that couldn’t survive our refusal to look away. Not because we were hateful. But because we weren’t. Because we said, “This is wrong!”

If your protest comes with a bounce house and no consequences, it’s not a protest. It’s a picnic.

Don’t forget the plastic straws

Chapter 21: How to Protest Safely and Effectively Protesting is a fundamental right and a powerful tool for change. But in a world where law enforcement and counter-protesters can pose real dangers, preparation is key.

CHAPTER TWENTY: THE ENEMY OF DEMOCRACY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND There’s an old saying: When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Chapter 19: When the Workers Walk Away—The Power of the General Strike A nation doesn’t run on the whims of billionaires. It runs because we build, we create, we teach, we heal, we move, we serve.

Chapter Eighteen: Your Job Isn’t a Loyalty Test This week, federal employees were given an ultimatum: Justify your job every week, or lose it. The directive, spewing straight from Elon Musk’s billionaire fever dream, was immediately met with resistance.

Chapter Seventeen: The Many Faces of Activism—Because Resistance Takes Many Forms In Idaho, we just watched a physician—a woman who had every right to be there—be forcibly removed from a town hall for speaking truth.

Chapter 16: Turning the Gaslights Into Floodlights—How to Document and Expose the Lies Authoritarian regimes don’t just rule by force—they rule by rewriting reality. They tell you what you’re seeing isn’t real. They insist history is whatever they say it is.

CHAPTER 15: HOW TO WEAPONIZE WHITE TEARS FOR GOOD (If White Tears Can Kill, They Can Also Save) White women’s tears have long been a tool of oppression—used to center white fragility, derail conversations about race, and justify violence against marginalized communities. Cont.

CHAPTER 14: DOCUMENTING THE ERA OF DENIAL (Why Recording the Truth is Resistance in Real Time) History isn’t just written by the victors—it’s rewritten by the oppressors. They will tell future generations that this wasn’t that bad. That no one was really suffering. That we’re being dramatic.

CHAPTER 13: WHEN AUTHORITARIANS REWRITE HISTORY (And How to Stop Them From Erasing the Truth) Every authoritarian movement in history has one thing in common: they rewrite the past to justify their power in the present.

CHAPTER 12: STAYING SANE WHEN THE WORLD IS LOSING ITS MIND (And Why Rest Is Resistance) Congratulations, Resister! You’ve made it this far without combusting from pure existential exhaustion. That alone is a feat worthy of …maybe a musical dance party with some defiant jazz…IYKYK.

Chapter 11: How to Navigate MAGA Family, Friends, and Coworkers—Without Losing Your Sanity You expect fascism to come from politicians, media, and billionaires. What’s harder—what hurts—is when it comes from family, friends, or the coworker you have to see every damn day.

Chapter 10: Resisting While Parenting—Fighting for Their Future Being a parent in an authoritarian era isn’t just about protecting our own rights—it’s about securing a future where our children can live freely.

Chapter 9: Surviving Authoritarianism as a Disabled Person Authoritarianism always targets the most vulnerable first. History has shown that people with disabilities are among the first to lose rights, resources, and even their lives under authoritarian regimes.

Chapter 8: This Is Not a Drill – Preparing for Economic & Political Collapse Authoritarianism doesn’t just take rights—it destroys economies, destabilizes daily life, and leaves people scrambling for survival.

Chapter Seven: Protecting Your Pets in Unstable Times Your pets rely on you completely. In times of political chaos, natural disasters, or civil unrest, they don’t know why everything is different—they just know something is wrong.

Chapter Six: Fighting Back—What You Can Do Right Now Recognizing the playbook of authoritarianism is important, but recognition alone won’t stop it. The real question is: What can we do? Right now, today, in tangible, practical ways?

Chapter Five: The Myth of “It Can’t Happen Here” The most dangerous lie people tell themselves in times of crisis is, “That could never happen here.”

Chapter Four: “The Normalization Trap—How Fascism Wins Without a Fight” History’s biggest weapon isn’t violence—it’s normalization. No regime starts by saying, “We are the bad guys.” No dictatorship comes to power by declaring, “We’re about to dismantle democracy—please comply.”

Chapter Three: “History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes.” Every authoritarian rise follows a pattern. The playbook is old, the tactics are predictable, and the warnings are always ignored—until it’s too late.

Chapter Two: Move Smart. Stay Safe. Resist Effectively. Authoritarian regimes don’t just crush resistance—they study it, predict it, and neutralize it before it becomes a threat.

Chapter One: IT CAN HAPPEN HERE. IT IS HAPPENING HERE. Fascism doesn’t come with a dramatic entrance. It creeps in while people are distracted. ❌ STOP assuming there will be a breaking point. ❌ STOP thinking the system will fix itself. ❌ STOP waiting for it to be “bad enough” to act.

Reminder: The ones who are loudest in their hate aren’t the majority. They’re just the most aggressive. But there are countless others who share your values, who are quietly resisting, organizing, and pushing back. You’re not shouting into the void.
