We need more, but credit where due: both The Nation (June 2024 issue) and Boston Review have run a breakdown of the Project 2025 “Mandate for Leadership” document. Media Matters, too. Lots of good work going on digesting this.

We’re stuck in a bit of psychological trap. He won’t/can’t do it under pressure. If something knocks the story into a background noise hum, then they’ll think they’re through it and won’t do it. Not sure how he gets the space to go out strong while still having it be clear he needs to go out.

For most of its history, America hasn’t been a democracy, by any meaningful definition of the term! This isn’t some It Can’t Happen Here shit, in a way, it’s already happened. It just may not have directly affected you.

I know a lot of people are concerned about the country’s innate misogyny and racism. I too am scarred from 2016. I do think this time around, young (relatively) out weighs a lot of that.

Folks are right to be mad that the Republic is in this absurd position, and right to be mad it's even remotely plausible Trump could win. If you're not mad about that, honestly, wtf.

Something that's clear and very helpful to keep in mind is that I have ZERO influence over what will happen re: who the Democratic nominee will be at the August convention. So I'm going to keep it moving and focus on what I can influence.

I like the coconut tree memes as much as everyone else but I do think we should all be on the same page about Harris's quote actually making sense when you realize she was telling a story about her mom and illustrating a point about education.

That Heritage Foundation statement threatening a violent revolution against the left = that moment in a movie in which the forces of evil loudly announce their evil plans. except in real life, unlike in a movie, most normal people don’t even realize this has *happened* (which is our job).

Sarah Longwell did a focus group in NC that you may find interesting. Tldr - a lot of “normie” Republicans repulsed by Robinson but no issues with Trump.

Oh for sure. I’m not complaining about lack of coverage. People are getting information where they’re getting it, or not. If Nikki Minaj and John Oliver get people to pay attention I’m willing to shrug off some of their “why didn’t anyone tell me this!?” response. It is a tad annoying though.

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.
"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

This is probably not helpful but maybe mildly amusing-when I had knee surgery I got big into juggling. Waited balls. Pins. I could get my heart rate up pretty well.

It's a tough call but Mark Robinson may be the most openly reprehensible downballot candidate for the GOP. Long record of espousing bigotry. You can find ways to help defeat him here:
