“The lack of electricity has strained the health care system in the nation’s fourth-largest city. Doctors had determined that it was not safe to discharge some patients to homes without air-conditioning, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said at a news conference, leading to “backed up” hospitals”

I think the effectiveness of Project 2025 is its function as basically a wiki hole. if you start pulling at it you are going to hit something insane organically, right away. and there’s never any need to engage deeply with any of its individual atrocities, so there’s never a place to defend.

What? No it wasn't. A bunch of people warned about exactly this, before it happened, and then AS IT WAS HAPPENING. People just… kept pretending that the dude who conned them hadn't conned them and was, in fact, a super genius, instead of taking the fucking L and holding him anything like accountable

Regarding my last post: I’m always skeptical of the NYT whenever they cover anything that even approaches my areas of expertise. It seems I’ve been FAR too credulous & should be suspicious of everything that they publish. Gosh.

- was mortified when I started explaining. I left them w/ a few links to read. Now, you might be wondering, "why didn't this person know better?" Some people just don't. Not everyone follows politics like we do. That's why it's so important for us to say something, wherever and whenever we can.

June 15, 2024 “Clooney was particularly irked that the Biden administration was initially open to slapping the ICC with sanctions, given his wife could be potentially subjected to penalties, according to The Washington Post, which first reported on the call.” More “irked” than previously reported.

“Trump was convicted of a set of felonies,” Lazer says. “The impact it had on surveys was zero. Biden had a debate where most people said it proved he was too old. Survey respondents said, ‘Yeah, I saw that. He’s too old. I’m still voting for him.’ The numbers just aren’t moving.”

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

Gonna keep banging this drum- it was always on the cards after he came out as the most pro labour president of the 21st century, and probably my lifetime.
