Trump’s Autocratic Moves Toward Corporate Fascism
By Ralph Nader February 28, 2025 Trump has mused publicly about his fondness for Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s “elected” dictator, and how he accomplished commanding control over his people. Trump and his loyal Trumpeteer and Musketeer cohorts are taking an American-style approach, step by faster step, far ahead of the conventional resistance. Step One is to announce…
Read MoreStop Repeating the Vast Undercount of Gazan Deaths. It Is Ten Times Greater.
By Ralph Nader February 21, 2025 Enough already of the media’s lazy indifference to the vast undercount of the Palestinian death toll from Netanyahu’s genocidal daily bombing and shelling of Gaza’s defenseless civilian population. I’m referring to all the media – the corporate media, the public media, and the independent media. They all stick with…
Read MoreTrump/Musk Dictatorship Is Galvanizing the American People’s Resistance
By Ralph Nader February 14, 2025 Madmen Trump and Musk are moving with warp speed to illegally and dictatorially wreck America and enrich themselves in the process. Forget the use of the terms “autocracy” and “constitutional crisis.” This is a savage dictatorship, getting worse by the day. Trump is attacking the courts, ignoring Congress run…

Read MoreUnderestimating Americans: A Coming Plunge of Dictator Donald
By Ralph Nader January 31, 2025 Convicted felon Donald Trump has declared war on Americans. In less than two weeks, he has become the dictator, a role he celebrated in his campaign.

Read MoreTo Thwart Trump’s Tyranny, the Media Must Cover Resistance by Civic Groups and Unions
By Ralph Nader January 24, 2025 A lawless madman, with cunning political skills, is at large in our White House. After less than five days in office, he has set a record for flamboyantly issued executive orders, many violative of federal statutes and the Constitution.

Read MoreStatement by Ralph Nader and Bruce Fein
To Joe Biden: You have just decided that grizzly bears can remain on the endangered species list. Yet, week after week, you have watched Netanyahu target with U.S. F-16s innocent defenseless Palestinian families, killing 50-100 a day, and blocking humanitarian aid trucks with food, medicine and water for the dying and sick people in this…

Jimmy Carter was my last president. I believe that is true for progressive civic groups, too. He actively opened up the federal government to engagement and participation from long politically excluded American activists. When he was campaigning in 1976, he would say that he wanted to be more of a consumer advocate than I am, that he would take seriously…
