Project 2025 is the GOP party platform they've been too afraid to write down since 2020. It is a collection of all their policy positions and plans for remaking America into the upside down, mirror universe version of itself. That's why they don't want you to read it.

i refuse to believe that americans who watched the debate think that biden’s first 15 minutes are somehow stronger evidence of old age decline than falling asleep, *in public*, DURING YOUR OWN FUCKING CRIMINAL TRIAL, *IN COURT IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE AND JURY*, but, you know, i’m not a columnist.

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

i was just going to make a post about this. if trump decides you are an enemy of the state or a “threat to national security” and has you deported, citizenship or not, there’s nothing you can do to get home. he has full legal power to render you stateless.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

The first concern of any action we take at this point in history is, "Does this help Trump and thus fascism?" Not "How can I feel better right now?" or "How can I reshape politics with my fantasy?" or "This is how I show everyone it's their fault, not mine." Anything else serves Trump.

Will the opinion sections of NYT, Washington Post, etc, collectively call for 34x convicted felon and adjudicated rapist and fraud Donald Trump to drop out of the race once he has been criminally sentenced only a few days before the Republican National Convention? If not then, when? If never, why?

There's a reason why I told Athena she had a veto over anything I ever posted about her, and that it wouldn't go up until and unless she said "yes." If she said "no" I didn't argue. (When she was younger and didn't understand the online world, Krissy was the yes/no person. Krissy is VERY private.)

Imagine the reaction if a presumptive Democratic presidential nominee issued a Memorial Day statement that - ignored fallen troops - condemned perceived foes as “human scum” - characterized the holiday as a day to air his petty grievances It would likely be seen as a scandal, and rightly so.

A reminder that, for every print book you buy, the PERSON WHO WROTE THE BOOK is probably getting the smallest cut of the income from that book. Something that is rarely questioned in the publishing industry.
