it's based on the amount of articles that include 'fascist' actions - and the 81% is the average of the three peaks in the selected timeframe. There hasn't been any new peaks in a while, except last week had one that was close. It's an inherently flawed calculation, but its the best I could think of

It relies on the media to post things that classify as fascist. Not many articles this past week have been matching the 14 characteristics of fascism.

Palantir and ICE employees are enabling a fascist government. So I'm releasing a tool (inspired by 5calls.org) that lets you email a random employee from each company—urging them to rethink their job. Just click “Generate Email” and hit send.

The Fascism Threat just rose to Critical (83%).

On June 12th, the system flagged 61 articles that mentioned the arrest of Senator Alex Padilla and the use of the national guard in Los Angeles. This incident pushed the number of flagged articles up by 3%.  Stay informed @ realtimefascism.com

Anyone have access to tools like Zoominfo or Clearbit where I can get current employee data for companies? 👀 DM me please - I have an idea for the site 🙏

The way the current calculation works - it counts the amount of articles classified each day and it takes the average of the 3 highest days and that determines the threat.

The system depends on media outlets reporting - which isn't a perfect system, but the best we can do for now : )

There are no articles about him, he's a political commentator which wouldn't show up on the site. The site only classifies articles that mention direct actions / impacts that the current administration is doing. And people closely tied in with them

Threat is still the same for all time - the rolling month window is why it went down. Sorry for the confusion!

Very good effort to log/trace developments in the USA...
...so we don't altogether get flooded by the Musk-Trump nonsense and lose our bearings of what that ship of state iss doing.

Will also feature articles that don’t have a high enough confidence score for the 14 step main view (>75% confidence score) and I this removes that. So if you see more articles here, that’s why.

That’s marked for the current day as not many articles came in today / past week - but the threat is still at severe for the month
