If you’ve been paying attention, you know that things are not, in fact, going great in America. The news cycle is relentless, the attacks on democracy are escalating, and the sense of impending crisis is impossible to ignore. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, the constant scandals, and the slow erosion of rights and freedoms. That’s why I created America Is Going Great.

What Is America Is Going Great?

America Is Going Great is a straightforward, no-frills timeline documenting key events in America’s ongoing political and social crisis. It compiles major developments—legislative changes, court rulings, political scandals, acts of violence, protests, and other significant moments—into a single, accessible resource. The goal is to cut through the noise and provide a clear record of how we got here and where we’re headed.

Why This Matters

One of the most insidious aspects of our current moment is how quickly each new crisis replaces the last. Outrage fatigue is real, and it’s easy to forget what happened last week, let alone last year. But forgetting is dangerous.

By maintaining a timeline, America Is Going Great serves as a historical record, a tool for activists and researchers, and a reminder that what we’re experiencing is not random—it’s part of a broader pattern of democratic backsliding, increasing authoritarianism, and the normalization of violence.

Who Is It For?

Whether you’re an activist, journalist, historian, or just someone trying to stay informed without getting lost in the chaos, America Is Going Great is for you. It’s not about sensationalism or clickbait; it’s about documenting reality, however grim, and making sure the past isn’t erased by the speed of the present.

Staying Informed Without Burning Out

Keeping up with everything happening in the U.S. is exhausting. That’s why I update the site every couple of days, curating articles from reputable sources and organizing them into a digestible format. If you need a break from doomscrolling but don’t want to lose track of what’s happening, America Is Going Great offers a way to stay informed without drowning in the daily flood of bad news.

The Future of America Is Going Great

As the 2024 election looms and the threats to democracy intensify, tracking these events will only become more crucial. My hope is that this timeline can be a resource for those who refuse to look away, who believe that documenting reality is itself a form of resistance.

You can explore the full timeline here, and if you find it useful, share it. The more people who stay informed, the harder it becomes for those in power to rewrite history.
