Helloooo?! Has anyone done this yet?

I heard you on Mike Signorile SIRIUSXM/ Progress channel today

I am an editor at Wikipedia. I can NOT create a biased content page as a Wikipedia conflict. But YOU can and I donate my time with “biased” because it focuses on trump crimes. I have wanted to create a TRUMP ENABLERS content page updated with individuals bios and actions past to current that enabled trump to crime against democracy and humanity. Wikipedia opens up to GLOBAL content donators which is verified 100s of times DAILY. Guardrails are in place if trumpers try to erase /edit. Facts are encouraged because Wikipedia editors demand to see sources/urls. Then those are researched & verified.

I want such a list to be used for a Nuremberg trial or most recently 2025 trial inns Korea of their corrupt prez & his admin.

I feel/know AI will be erasing a lot of data on internet. Whole swaths will be deleted by billionaires in league with trump. Also legacy media will be revising and erasing factual history of all critiques of trump

So we need the database now. From NYC council members & DAs that enabled trump to give false govt records for decades never punishing him to present day GOP elected officials.

Print it up daily OLD SCHOOL to keep a tangible record. Also, Every month- volunteers print up and upload to a hardrive/ stick

Also possibly use YouTube. Today NYT published article that YouTube is now THE most popular go to for news.

I have enclosed 2 article: 2024 Boston Globe shows YouTube was THE place Latinos got their news/lies about trump - so they voted for him https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/11/13/business/latino-news-consumption-2024-election/

5/25/25 NYT YouTube article.

I was thinking that Joyce Vance’s Democracy Docket was already doing this, but maybe it is not as organized as your suggestion. Great idea.

I think this is a good idea. But my concern is for security of information and contributors, and the preservation of the information. The opposition forces are so virulent and willing to both add fake information and sow chaos in many ways, and to destruct whatever is built.

Please put careful thought into security of access and security of retention.

A epicly brilliant idea: This is very much needed to counteract the Fascist Juggernaut of misinformation & destruction by this 47th Regime.

So is this a teaser so we have to subscribe now to get an update on where this is posted? :)

One suggestion I'd have -- organize so that you can see a list of big-ticket items and then drill down. There've been some efforts to do this in the past, like a post at McSweeney's and the WaPo Fact Checker, but it's like drinking from a fire hose.

100% on board with this, Dan - I started something similar at the beginning of this administration and would love to take part in a larger group effort. It's much needed. How can I help?

Josh Marshall has been talking about this as well on TPM along the lines of a "shadow Cabinet" and a "DOJ-in-exile."

I was going to suggest that this was already well documented at www.project2025.org. But I'm seeing that URL redirect to sell some books. So I'd grab a copy of it from The Internet Archive, and include that in the wiki.

A trump library will be a Lie-brary filled with fiction and devoid of the true facts. Trump will fight to corrupt the national archives and replace truth with lies. I fully support creating an archive detailing trumps crimes against humanity.

Excel·lent ! això dóna per milers de pàgines per una enciclopèdia, la wiquipèdia moltes tesis doctorals, futures i noves organitzacions arreu.Trump afecta a tots els àmbits….

Brilliant idea. The world needs this.

Hawk 'n' Roll Songbird's avatar

Fantastic idea. Let's do this!

Peter Storandt's avatar

This idea is timely, now that we have 100+ "daze" of evidence to work with. I wonder how AI might be harnessed to corral the details by topic/date/etc. Once we have the basics, we can advance to the updates and edits that will be required as in any wiki environment.

I would love to help with this. I have been trying to put something together for a while, but this is a project that would be better with many people working on it.

Dan Froomkin's avatar

Yes, this would need a great team. Email me! froomkin@presswatchers.org.

Sad but true commentary. I’m glad to see Mr Froomkin still at work. We need more journalists like him!
