Melissa Gira Grant: 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. www.bostonreview.net/articles/ins... www.mediamatters.org/project-2025

Where are the columnists who are experts in specific fields, breaking down what the Heritage Foundation + Trump want to do to each individual federal agency? E.g. I read the section dedicated to our intelligence agencies, and had to stop, since I was starting to feel a little nauseous.

Media matters a LOT. .this is how to do a media job. Ther rest has become unusable.

I feel it's worth pointing out that Politico did the first report on it *last September*. If you haven't read it it's worth the time because it includes a lot of historical context that's missing from more current 'omg have you read this thing' reports. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Inside the Next Republican Revolutionwww.politico.com Whether Trump wins or not, the GOP plans a renewed assault on his nemesis, the “deep state.” Can conservatives train enough loyalists to actually get the job done?

Yep I read this when it came out. Their profile of Russ Vought pub’d a few months ago is one I cite all the time.

Well holy shit

Also the odd youtubers out there talking about it critically - I didn't make much when first hearing about it this week but algorithm-stumbled into a southern political youtuber explaining it from last month: youtu.be/op0yk50uMlQ?... . These folks may be more relatable than news magazines.

That's Beau of the Fifth Column. He's *superb* - well worth a subscription on YT.

It didn’t break into my everyday social circles until John Oliver covered it

Read Thomas Zimmer’s Substack

@thomaszimmer.bsky.social is here and his analysis is fantastic.

These need to be read nationwide before voting.

Trump trying to backpedal asking Heritage if they are writing down notes on a criminal conspiracy

Not a new thought but imagine if team D spent a pittance of their funds on media outlets.

No, it's not a new thought, and I'm sorry, but I'm over blaming democrats for biased media. Why can't democrats message better on Fox? Or the WSJ OpEd pages? Or in the butt-hurt Biden didn't do the interview we wanted NYT? Or the Murdoch publisher's paper WaPo?

Maybe because all those entities are owned and operated by billionaires that are quite obviously putting their fingers on the scales.

This is why these people get my money.

Good God! “Heritage and its president, Kevin Roberts, have previously called for “crushing the rogue prosecutor movement.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The Heritage Foundation, The Kevin Roberts Show, 7/26/23]”. How about we first crush the rogue judiciary, starting with SCOTUS?

I’ll have to ask her where she first read about it, but my 17 year old was well aware as of at least 6 months ago.

I don't think, mankind can be safed 🤷

I’ve been reading the DOJ section and it is ominous. Project 2025 states that overturning Kennedy v. Louisiana, a 2008 SCOTUS ruling that prohibits the death penalty for nonfatal crimes - ostensibly to apply it to violent sex crimes - should be a DOJ priority. static.project2025.org/2025_Mandate...

Holy shit! The nation did NOT get the memo!!

Where’s the damn Bookmark function on Bluesky? Someone needs to get on that!

You can use a 📌 to find stuff later. I’ll see if I can find the info to setup the list

Here you go bsky.app/profile/did:...

I will text myself the link when I need a bookmark

If you’ve not already watched it. Might I politely but strongly recommend watching the Prime documentary “Bad Faith” as it will undoubtedly provide you with insights into Project 2025 and their agenda which is to effectively end Democracy. DJT is their bitch and the key to the castle 🏰 no joke!!!

Any tictoc or influencers?

not my scene unfortunately

Mine either.

Yet Emperor Trump I will become elected nonetheless. Democrats have the secret wish to fail and far too many scruples.

JustSecurity-dot-org has an Authoritarianism Index they just updated. Check it out.

Genuinely curious: The Nation originally ran the article in Oct 2020 according to its website, did they report updates/new findings in the magazine version? Or are they just running greatest hits for the summer to give staff a break? www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Here’s the landing page for the June 2024 issue—the cover line doesn’t refer to the 2020 article (just happen to share a name) www.thenation.com/issue/june-2...

Found it. June 4, 2024 Fearure Article from The Nation by RL Borosage, “Why Trump’s Second Victory Would be Worse” www.thenation.com/article/soci... Has links to other articles on Project 2025 as well 💙☮️

Why Trump’s Second Victory Would Be Worsewww.thenation.com There’s now a real, organized effort to transform his resentments and impulses into policy. It’s called Project 2025.
