I think this is good advice.

if you’re trying to engage with politically disconnected people about project 2025, identify a specific part that you think will resonate with them. i just told my friend who’s a public school teacher about the plan to abolish the department of education and that got her hooked.

it's not that he's changed his mind about trump, really. it's more that he's changed his mind about hitler.

I get that he’s taken it all back, including when he said he feared Trump would be America’s Hitler, but I guess my position is… I have never gone to work for someone I’ve ever in any point in my life compared directly to Adolf Hitler… and it’s a fair question… www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I can't say this without sounding paranoid because it should absolutely make you paranoid, but JD Vance is absolutely the surrender-Europe-to-Putin candidate.

JD Vance learns to love Trump, and Putinwww.youtube.com You remember “Russia, if you’re listening” and the flood of social media disinformation.But you’ve never heard the strands of Putin’s attack on the 2016 elec...

Basically they’re saying actually it can’t happen here.

Here's the thing: Trump *is* an authoritarian who wants to destroy democracy. This isn’t a smear, it’s a fact. That Trump got shot doesn’t change the necessity of him being defeated at the ballot box, nor does it absolve him of his past misdeeds.

Multiple things are true about Trump's shootingwww.publicnotice.co Political violence is wrong. And Trump is the candidate of political violence.

The shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords in 2011, which hospitalized the Congresswoman and killed six, including a judge, appeared political given the target. But the shooter was schizophrenic, and had built up a personal grievance in his head. Motives for this varies. Sometimes political, sometimes not.

The mediocre, at times ludicrous opinion essays being published today are beyond parody. They are absurd. Again, bring back shame. The shit people will put their government names on!!!!

Doug Mills, a New York Times photographer, appeared to capture an image of a bullet streaking past Donald Trump’s head, a former FBI agent said. He took the photo while documenting the campaign rally that turned into an attempt on a former president’s life. Read more: nyti.ms/3Wlioa5

Political violence always benefits authoritarians because liberals will always condemn it and authoritarians, regardless of whether they are perpetrators or victims, will always use it to claim more power.

Yeah, certainly. It was just weird. Like dropping a stone down a well and then realizing you aren’t hearing a splash or a thunk or anything.

Cwnidog 🍉🇵🇸

Yes, I saw that a little while after I posted this. Still feels weird, though, how so much time went by before we heard that. I guess years on Twitter have gotten me accustomed to a flurry of on-the-scene tweets when something happens.

Where is the shooter? It feels odd to me that we aren’t yet seeing anything about the shooter being tackled or shot or… at least comments from people who say they saw something. What’s going on?

Popping on to say: A lot of rumors are about to fly about this rally. Trump's team is 100% going to try and take advantage of this situation. So will malicious foreign actors/bots/etc. Please don't auto share. Check your sources, and vet their wording/sourcing carefully.

Let’s all help by speculating wildly.

Oh my god

Trump began his speech at about 6 p.m. and was only shortly into his speech when a disturbance caused Secret Service to swarm the former president. He was then led off the stage quickly, pumping his fist.There appeared to be blood on his right ear as he was being taken off stage.

The mass deportation scheme is probably the most immediately scary part of Trump 2025. It’s not just the just the forcible deportation of millions of people and accompanying family disruption That’s bad enough. Nor is the let’s-see-what-pulling-this-lever-does-hurr economic recklessness./1

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.

I got up this morning, made a cup of tea, and read the news like I always do. Saw that Richard Simmons had done an interview. I opened Twitter and looked him up, saw he’d been active there recently and had tweeted this morning. “Oh, I’m so glad to see he’s doing okay,” I thought. 🙁

This. Abso-fucking-lutely. And I am beyond sick of it.

What pisses me off to no end is how the coverage of the candidates exists in two separate vacuums. Rather than being compared to EACH OTHER, Biden is compared to an ideal and Trump isn’t compared to anything at all! He’s just “the GOP nominee, popular with his base.”

Like if John Roberts wants to claim private business fraud is official POTUS shit, fine, but make him assert that disgraceful bullshit. Don’t do it FOR him

Merchan should dismiss this claim immediately under the clear logic the Trump Org books have nothing to do with official acts unless Biden is in control of them right now

Two things make Donald Trump unfit to lead: 1. Everything he says. 2. Everything he does.
