Book overview
Fascism, Project 2025, & The Pinkprint is a counter-blueprint book. Where Project 2025 lays out a far-right, Christian nationalist plan to consolidate power, strip rights, and normalize authoritarian control, The Pinkprint answers with a progressive vision built around justice, democracy, environmental stewardship, inclusion, and direct public power. This book does not stop at critique. It takes the same governing terrain, agency by agency, policy area by policy area, and asks what a humane, anti-fascist, future-facing transition plan would actually look like instead.
The book moves in two directions at once. First, it identifies the fascist tendencies embedded in Project 2025 and the broader Republican agenda: centralized power, suppression of dissent, theocratic social control, elite economic favoritism, and the use of fear to reorganize public life. Then it offers a competing vision through TIDE, a framework built around Target, Inspire, Disrupt, and Empower. That shift matters. This is not only a warning about what could be lost. It is also a political imagination exercise grounded in concrete alternatives for government, labor, media, education, health, energy, trade, and democracy itself.
The inclusion of black and white nature photographs by Esme Mees give the book additional force. The calming lake side nature prints help carry the contrast between dystopian reaction and progressive possibility. They give the book a stronger identity than most policy-response titles and make it feel more like a designed political object than a generic rebuttal. The artwork supports the book's larger aim: not just resisting a regressive vision, but putting a rival one on the table with clarity, style, and conviction.
This is a book for people who want more than diagnosis. It is for people thinking about fascism, Project 2025, progressive policy, direct democracy, climate justice, women's rights, labor protections, and what it would mean to answer authoritarian planning with a real public-facing plan of our own. It is political, hopeful, and built around the idea that counterpower has to be imagined before it can be built.
