One of the reasons I've been pushing the Project 2025 Alarm button so damn much, recently. We need to spread that message everywhere. Yam Tits and the GOP have gifted us with their own kryptonite. We need to weaponize it. Project 2025 is evil and people will vote AGAINST it. Get the word out!

Here we see a right wing Twitter account with 1.3 million followers being retweeted by an account with 2.5 million followers calling for conservatives to sabotage the upcoming American election. Musk, BTW, has interacted amicably with these accounts several times.

July 7, 2020 As the pandemic continues to rage, Trump announces the United States is withdrawing from the World Health Organization. Candidate Joe Biden promises to immediately reverse this if elected. (He did, in his first hours in office.)

If you think the Supreme Court is out of control now, imagine if Trump appoints two, three, or four more justices.

A CHILD MOLESTER has won the Republican nomination for president for the third time in a row, and the media says he won the debate so the other guy— the incumbent POTUS — should drop out.

It appears that the solidarity shown by the non-fascist parties in France has led to the defeat, at least for today, of the fascists. Specifically, left & center coordinated to support the candidate most likely to defeat the fascists in hundreds of constituencies. There’s a lesson to be learned.

If you think the Heritage Foundation wants Biden to stay in because they think he’ll lose, you’re missing the point. If he tries to drop out, it will be playing right into their hands. The right will take that golden opportunity to turn the election into even more of a gigantic shitshow.

How do we adjust to a world where major democracies have long-term viable fascist parties? It feels like we'll just be having existential election after existential election, and we have to win every time whereas they only have to win once.

Please note the wildly incorrect polling in France. No matter what the cacophony of pundits keep saying, polls are not predictive, and are never the end of the story. Organizing, volunteering, engaging in conversation, and direct action are effective tools. Let's use them here too.

sometimes the most annoying people in politics can be right. the orange man is indeed bad. if you vote, you shouldn’t vote for republicans under any circumstances, which typically leaves one option

I've been telling my students to think very carefully about this messaging. Why is it that these outlets are only talking at length about Biden's age and not the other guy, who is not that much younger and has as many so-called "symptoms" of cognitive issues as there are for Biden. Feels suss.
