Really cannot emphasize just how disinterested the media is in the whole "coup-attempting authoritarian vows to remake nation if given second chance" storyline. It bores them. They don't care. This, though, this is their pompous, petty-ass wheelhouse.

Even after getting crushed in a statewide referendum on the issue, Kansas Republicans have absolutely no fear about defying the people's will and trying to force abortion bans through lawsuits and unconstitutional legislation.

Keep hammering the point home. Trump absolutely backs Project 2025, because it profits him and stands to give him all of the dictatorial power he craves. Don't fall for his bullshit. The man lies the way fish swim; he literally can't stop.

The fact that Biden is not a fucking lunatic that drops unhinged tweets at 3am is the single biggest unspoken reason he curbstomped Trump in the popular vote in 2020.

Me, I’ve been dropping relevant Project 2025 rundowns in any story I can (there’s a lot). My analysis, reading across sections of the “Mandate” document, of Project 2025’s vision of straight white patriarchal power was pub’d in February: newrepublic.com/article/1788...

Surely reporters will be asking Trump and his campaign to identify the things on Project 2025 he disagrees with and what part are "absolutely ridiculous and abysmal" His own people wrote the fucking thing. So get the answers. Obsess over this for a change

Just as important as analyzing what Project 2025 might do is understanding the power behind it and where it came from, for which @sarahposner.bsky.social, @antheabutler.bsky.social, @jeffsharlet.bsky.social, and @sarahjones.bsky.social would be great reads.

Rare event! Competing heat domes in the Southeast and Southwest US crank out two huge all-time record highs. Palm Springs 124 and Raleigh=Durham 106 with a heat index of 118! Las Vegas is forecast to break their all-time high this weekend and even Death Valley may come close.

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.

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

To be clear, this bill is nonsense, and he is straight-up calling for the murder of every Democrat in Congress. It is already illegal, as a matter of federal law, for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. This doesn't change that. What it does is a national ID mandate for voter registration.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

I keep seeing references made to 'leftists' who 'want 45 to win.' Who are these leftists? Are they strangers on the internet? I just don't see this. No one I know on the Left(s) is pro-45. I know some reactionary *moderates* who are though.

This is particularly important to understand because Trumpist authoritarianism is the descendent of Jim Crow far more than say Hitler or Pinochet or Orban, and it's going to look a lot more like 1930s Mississippi than 1930s Berlin.

Oh I could go further back than that. I’m still really really angry with Clinton for gutting welfare. But what the Tories have done to the UK in 14 years is like that on steroids. What I meant is that I hope we don’t have to be as destroyed (by Trumpists in extended power) as the British were.

They don't want Biden in, as a person who used to specialize in research on this they want to prep a narrative for the fall of a technically illegitimate election. It's not a move to stop it, it's a move to delegitimize.
