The pretense is always that learning about the history of racism will make (or is even MEANT to make) white kids feel guilty, which is just not how normal people react to things that happened before they were born. What they’re really afraid of is that it will make them feel outraged.

Trumpism’s rise and Project 2025 are both manifestations of the same underlying radicalization of long-stranding anti-democratic tendencies and impulses on the Right. Project 2025 is evidence of how far the Right has radicalized, how far beyond Trump the problem goes.

Project 2025 is not secretly orchestrated by a cunning evil in the shadows. It is not Trump who is behind it. It is the manifestation of a comprehensive mobilization of a radicalizing rightwing establishment, intelligentsia, think tank world, and moneyed interests.

one thing you pretty consistently see is journalists defending coverage decisions by saying "that's old news, everyone knows it, no need to report it." another is journalists defending coverage decisions by saying "everyone is talking about this, we must cover it" convenient!

As more Americans find out about Project 2025—thanks to Taraji P. Henson and others—they recoil.
Trump apparently senses his team's authoritarian plans are an electoral liability, and is lying about it.
As @parkermolloy.com argues, media shouldn't buy the lies, and media-watchers shouldn't let them.

Trump v. US was about power, not law:

Both the decision in the immunity case and the process by which the Supreme Court made its decision were deliberately crafted by a Republican supermajority to maximize the electoral chances of the Republican nominee

Conservatives in Toronto just privatized the liquor industry. It will lose them 2.5 billion dollars annually for healthcare and school funding. While pretending to care about "the working class" the right consistently privatizes and defunds programs that benefit families

Just eight years ago, Canada's approach to asylum seekers was world renowned. Just a year ago, asylum seekers were camping homeless on the streets of Toronto, begging for shelter. This is how the system fell apart. Today's @thebigstory.bsky.social.

We really need to talk a lot more about the consequences of consolidation of media, what it means to have so much of our cultural history in so few hands, AND that they are the hands of the obscenely wealthy. It's not good.

Trump raped a woman, was revealed as being in constant contact with a sex trafficker, stole nuclear secrets, is old, forged electoral certificates, was convicted of 34 felonies, committed fraud, is literally on the Saudi payroll, sent a mob to hang his VP but the opponent is also old.

Beginning to wonder if Serious Moderate journalists are the ones who actually want the far right in power but they’re afraid to admit it so they project the enthusiasm for the far right onto a populist juggernaut that doesn’t actually exist! Many such cases!
