Please ignore the “How to Make Me a Raging Book-banning Dictator God King” plan written by some of my favorite advisors. That was in my “Don’t Brag About It Until November 6th” file.

Just going to put this out there: Biden has been the most legislatively effective president since LBJ. The most pro-labor president WW2. He's done more re climate change than any POTUS. He's built an international coalition for Ukraine despite Russia-fueld GOP opposition. And yeah: he's hella old.

Don't let his lies scare you out of sharing the details of Project 2025 with everyone you know — especially those who are on the fence about their vote this year.

There's good reason to believe knowing about Project 2025 focuses people's minds on the stakes.

Project 2025 is stacked from top to bottom as is Heritage with Trump and MAGA guys, including ones put there to be Trump’s own personal enforcers. If he’s feeling inconvenienced occasionally by them, tough shit Fwiw people leading Trump’s campaign including Susie wiles hate dealing with the…

1923: Hitler’s failed coup. No real consequences. No fundamental changes. 1933: Hitler takes power. Make no mistake, “Project 2025” is Trump’s art of “Mein Kampf”.

My latest.

Project 2025 advances an extreme MAGA agenda that is fiercely isolationist, xenophobic and disdainful of democratic norms. It demonizes intellectuals, dismisses experts and idolizes charismatic strongmen. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/how-...

During Trump's entire time in office there were no editorials from NYT demanding he resign, after everything he did. They only write such editorials if they think they can draw blood. They didn't want to look stupid, so didn't bother. It's not about doing the right thing. It's only about THEM.

Just a reminder that the Right Wing projects their own self-loathing onto the rest of the world, creating a nightmare where their enemies are guilty of the things they hate most about themselves, creating a need for oppression and violence.

I gave up on this when my former chair rejected my change in a piece of theirs I was editing. I even used a push-me-pull-you analogy.

I don't think you can have an honest conversation about the "partisan divide" unless you're honest about the fact that one of just two major parties is waging a fascist assault on democracy, the rule of law, and truth itself
