The press is trolling with one (1) mewling Dem staffer, but remember: This is a 50/50 election, no matter how bad Biden is kneecapped or the press tries to make Trump into Alpha Zombie JFK. In Arizona, abortion rights are literally on the ballot. Everywhere, also literally but less literally.

You've been hearing two things: 1. Arizona may be an easier lift for Dems than NC and, possibly, MI. 2. The race will likely be so close that it could be decided by "reverse coattails," or energy for down-ballot races We're 81% of our 2024 goal for flipping AZ's statehouses. Join us.

I frankly want to slap everyone on or in mainstream media who keeps going on about how "poorly" Biden did in the debate. He can do the job- he's doing the job *right now.* He doesn't need to prove himself like someone who's never been president.🙄

I don't get it when people point out that Project 2025 is "nothing new." Yes, obviously, right-wingers have been fanatics for decades. They were blowing up abortion clinics and shooting doctors when I was a kid. But, as you may have noticed, their political vision has kind of been coming together.

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

On this day, 8 years ago, we lost Philando Castile - a tragic reminder of the systemic injustices that persist to this day. His memory continues to inspire our fight for justice and equality.The last class of 5th graders he served graduated from high school this past spring. Rest In Power friend.

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.

Hey, remember how librarians and I were warning everyone that mass book-banning is just step one of a fascist government takeover? Well, some of the same book-banning orgs we warned you about are on the advisory board for Project 2025, whose leader calls it a "second American Revolution.”
