100s of words about character and morals but only vague, brief reference to fact that Trump is adjudicated sexual assailant - rapist, in lay terms - w/ other credible allegations & settlements of sex crimes. The mostly male punditry, like GOP, has collectively decided that rape isn't disqualifying.

Lol Trump’s biggest vulnerability of the entire campaign is literally peaking and Democrats are wasting the moment fighting their own president. Sincerely, what are you guys doing

Josie lays it out very clearly: "In Weimar Germany, where the German Communist Party was far more robust and ready to fight in the streets, the revolution-oriented strategy—allowing a fascist victory to raise urgency and bring about a more lasting leftist one—didn’t work."

That's when Trump cites the Insurrection Act, and things will get ugly quick. (This is not me saying no to a general strike; it's just me thinking about worst case scenarios.)

I'm not kidding. Chapter 14 of Project 2025 (see: "Agenda 47") is the part of their plan where they'd cut back medical services to the point where every poor sick & disabled person will, quite simply, not be able to afford to stay alive. This could be your grandmother, your uncle, your cousin. You.

The GOP push to destabilize the 2024 election has already begun, with lawsuits filed in a host of states around familiar Trump talking points: mail-in ballots, supposed voter-registration fraud, etc. “This is how you build a story that enables political interference in the post-election process." 🎁

Project 2025 includes the call to “outlaw” porn. If you want to understand what they mean by that? Look to what these groups are already fighting “porn,” and their connections to anti-gender movements outside the US. I start that analysis here:

A reminder that if Trump wins & purges the civil service to replace it with loyalists as planned, all sorts of govt data will become totally untrustworthy. The House GOP is already trying to rig the census to screw Democrats in redistricting after Trump's first-term attempt failed

Full quote from ex-ICE director Tom Homan: "Trump comes back in January... I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.” Tonight in Florida Trump pledged to bring Homan back. Homan, BTW, is a listed Project 2025 contributor.

The piece handwaves “school desegregation” as a thing that was unpopular at the time but has proven to stand the test of time, and then, without making any arguments at all about ethics, says “well maybe abortion will be the same way.”

If ever there was a chance for mom and pop restaurants to succeed, it's now, the age of the $10 McDonalds burger. It's just a shame that real estate prices have skyrocketed even more than beef.

so many things about the US government that are now treated as Inviolable Precedent are based on things like "this is a number I just pulled out of my ass" and have been modified repeatedly over time until one day people decided changing the number was too hard it doesn't have to stay that way!
