A new wave of resistance has emerged in the US as a response to the rising authoritarianism under Donald Trump's presidency. The "Fighting Back" newsletter, launched by The Guardian, aims to arm citizens with practical advice on defending democracy and civil liberties.

Big names in the fight for freedom have come together to share their insights on how ordinary people can make a difference. From academics to activists, experts are offering actionable tips on how to navigate this treacherous landscape and protect vulnerable groups from Trump's policies.

The newsletter promises weekly updates with expert analysis, personal stories, and practical advice on issues such as voter suppression, media manipulation, and hate crimes. By signing up for "Fighting Back", subscribers will receive a curated selection of articles, podcasts, and videos that shed light on the ways in which democracy is under siege.

But what does it mean to be an active participant in this fight? How can individuals and communities resist the erosion of civil liberties without getting overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the problem? The newsletter promises to provide answers to these questions and more, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to take action against Trump's policies.

For those who have grown tired of watching democracy slip away under the radar, "Fighting Back" is an opportunity to engage with others who share their concerns. By banding together, citizens can amplify their voices and create a movement that demands greater accountability from leaders and institutions.

I'm seeing some crazy stuff going on in the US right now . It's like, we're living in a reality TV show where democracy is the main plot twist . I mean, who would've thought that politics could get so messy? The 'Fighting Back' newsletter seems like a good idea - it's all about empowering people with info and strategies to push back against this authoritarianism. But for real, how can one person make a difference in the face of all this power? It's easy to feel overwhelmed just thinking about it . Do you think it's time for us to start organizing our own movements and demanding change?

I think it's awesome that people are finally getting involved in pushing back against the current state of affairs. I mean, let's be real, Trump's got some serious baggage , but you can't just sit back and expect someone else to do it for you. The fact that big names are chiming in with their expertise is a great sign - maybe we're finally seeing a shift towards more constructive conversations about how to move forward.

I think the key is to not get too overwhelmed by all the noise out there, but instead find your own voice and use it to amplify those around you. It's not about being perfect, it's about taking action and inspiring others to do the same. And who knows, maybe this is just what we need - a collective pushback against some of the more questionable policies coming out of the White House

so a newsletter to fight back against trump's authoritarianism... about time i mean, it's not like we haven't seen this coming for years. anyway, big names on board is cool, but can we please get some actual actionable tips instead of just "be vigilant" and "stay informed"? how many more newsletters does the guardian need to launch before we get some real solutions?

I'm loving this new newsletter! It's so refreshing to see experts and activists coming together to help us make sense of what's going on in the US right now. I've been feeling really frustrated with the direction things are heading, especially with all the voting restrictions and hate crimes on the rise. But hearing from people who actually know what they're talking about is super empowering! What I'm most excited about is how they're making it accessible to regular folks like me, so we can take action without feeling overwhelmed. It's time for us to stand up for ourselves and our values!

I'm getting old-school vibes from this whole situation . Reminds me of the good ol' days when we used to get involved in movements for change without all the noise on social media . I mean, don't get me wrong, social media is great for spreading awareness, but it's hard to have real conversations and build genuine connections online. What's needed now is a mix of activism and community engagement – you know, like those protests back in '97 that brought everyone together .

This "Fighting Back" newsletter sounds like just the thing, though . Gotta give props to The Guardian for starting it up. It's about time we had some practical advice on how to defend democracy without sounding like a bunch of lecturers .

I'm not convinced that another newsletter is gonna change the game ... don't get me wrong, it's great that people are getting involved, but we've been hearing this same rhetoric for ages & nothing's really changed ... what I want to see is actual concrete action, not just a bunch of weekly newsletters trying to sound woke ... how about some tangible ways to resist instead of just signing up for more info?

this is super scary news for us americans - authoritarianism is not something we want to deal with but at the same time i think it's awesome that people are coming together to fight back and make a difference we need all the help we can get especially from big names like activists and experts who have experience in this area

"fighting back" sounds like an amazing resource for us - weekly updates with expert analysis and personal stories is exactly what we need to stay informed and motivated and by signing up, we can get a curated selection of articles and videos that will keep us updated on what's happening in the fight against trump's policies

but honestly, being an active participant in this fight is not easy it takes courage and conviction and sometimes it feels like we're just standing alone in a sea of uncertainty but by banding together as a community and supporting each other's causes we can create a movement that demands greater accountability from leaders and institutions

I'm low-key freaking out about this new newsletter ! It's like, finally someone's speaking truth to power and providing actionable tips on how to fight back against authoritarianism I mean, as someone who's always been passionate about technology and innovation, I think it's so cool that experts from all walks of life are coming together to share their expertise and offer support to those who feel overwhelmed . The fact that they're curating a selection of articles, podcasts, and videos on issues like voter suppression and media manipulation is just genius . We need more resources like this, you know? It's time for us to take matters into our own hands and demand greater accountability from leaders and institutions .

I'm getting worried about the state of politics in the US . This new newsletter seems like a good starting point for people who are just as fed up with Trump's presidency as I am . It's cool that big names in the fight for freedom are sharing their expertise and advice on how to make a difference.

But, honestly, it feels like we're just fighting against the tide . Is it even possible for one person or a small group of people to make a real impact? I'm not sure if this newsletter is going to be enough to change the course of history . Still, I suppose it's worth trying, and maybe if enough people join together, we can create some positive change .

I just wish more people would speak out against Trump's policies without being demonized or labeled as "extremist" . We need to find a way to have these kinds of conversations without turning into echo chambers. Fingers crossed that the newsletter will be able to facilitate those kinds of discussions and help us build a stronger, more united movement .

imagine you're in a game where one player has all the rules & power ... it's kinda like that with Trump's presidency right now . but what if we had a team of players who could strategize together ? that's kinda what this "Fighting Back" newsletter is trying to do .

it's got big names sharing their expertise, and they're breaking down complex issues into smaller bits ... like, how can you spot when someone's manipulating the media ? or what are some ways to protect yourself from voter suppression . it's not gonna be easy, but if we all work together , maybe we can shift the balance of power .

the question is, though: how do we avoid feeling overwhelmed by the problem itself? that's a good one ... I guess the newsletter will have to give us some answers .

I'm low-key hyped about this new newsletter ! It's so needed right now . I mean, we've seen what happens when people just sit back and watch the system crumble . We need more voices like this speaking out against authoritarianism and fighting for our rights . The fact that big names are contributing to it is a huge plus . And, let's be real, who doesn't want to feel empowered to take action and make a difference? It's time we all stepped up and started using our voices to fight for what's right .
