My latest column in ⁦@BylineTimes⁩ focuses on the remarkable women leaders of Eastern Europe, who are a crucial counterweight to the media's obsession with the ‘strongmen’ Trump and Putin

I was an investigative reporter in broadcast journalism when Donald Trump landed on my radar in 2006 while I was interviewing the victims of a pyramid scheme. Lured in by get-rich-quick videos featuring Trump, some told me they’d spent their entire life savings on a video phone company that turned out to be bad business.

“Project 2025 is a revenge fantasy and the victim is democracy… It reads like a Soviet-era how-to manual on the total annihilation of the US government and any critics of the regime.”—Heidi Siegmund Cuda, December 16, 2023

In 2023, I reported that Donald Trump and the religious extremists he had aligned with created a blueprint for the total annihilation of democracy. The report was titled ‘A MAGA Hat and a Gun’ — Trump’s Violent Vision for 2025:

Hot Type: Being Braver Than We Want to Be

American columnist Heidi Siegmund Cuda turns to Václav Havel’s dissident essays from 1978, 'The Power of the Powerless', to learn how people can find a collective way back from democratic ruin bylinesupplement.com/p/hot-type-bei…
In 1969, when I was five years old, I traveled with my parents to Czechoslovakia. It was the same year my parents became proud US citizens. It was the same year humans landed on the moon.

HOT TYPE: America, You Are Not Alone

The author of The Ukrainian Night: An Intimate History of Revolution, said: “I’m completely terrified. I feel like in some ways the past eight years could be subtitled ‘Vindication of a Neurotic Catastrophist’. I did not want to be vindicated in this.”
