The List
A Week-by-Week Reckoning of Trump’s First Year
*By: Amy Siskind <https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/author/amy-siskind>   *
About The List

*The shocking first-draft history of the Trump regime, and its clear
authoritarian impulses, based on the viral Internet phenom “The Weekly
List.”*





*In the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump's election as president, Amy
Siskind, a former Wall Street executive and the founder of The New Agenda,
began compiling a list of actions taken by the Trump regime that pose a
threat to our democratic norms. Under the headline: “Experts in
authoritarianism advise to keep a list of things subtly changing around
you, so you'll remember” Siskind's “Weekly List” began as a project she
shared with friends, but it soon went viral and now has more than half a
million viewers every week. Compiled in one volume for the first time, The
List is a first draft history and a comprehensive accounting of Donald
Trump's first year. Beginning with Trump's acceptance of white supremacists
the week after the election and concluding a year to the day later, we
watch as Trump and his regime chips away at the rights and protections of
marginalized communities, of women, of us all, via Twitter storms,
unchecked executive action, and shifting rules and standards. The List
chronicles not only the scandals that made headlines but just as important,
the myriad smaller but still consequential unprecedented acts that
otherwise fall through cracks. It is this granular detail that makes The
List such a powerful and important book. For everyone hoping to
#resistTrump, The List is a must-have guide to what we as a country have
lost in the wake of Trump's election. #Thisisnotnormal*
