Best friend's stepdad caught measles back in the late 40s. It permanently damaged his vision.

Thinking again of Douglas Adams: “Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.”

Yes, I absolutely do think over half the country cares about having their basic human rights taken away by a bunch of authoritarian freaks. For Christ’s sake, Project 2025 calls for banning PORN. We can get voters mad about this.

Why would I blame workers when David Zaslav sucks and is in fact the cause of it all?

I just read an article that said "Why is it taking so long for your favorite movies and tv series to air? Blame the writers and actor strikes" No I won't. I'm blaming that ✨single✨ motherfucker at the studio who makes $250 million dollars a year who's one job is supposed to make this shit happen.

The Economist has some astonishing figures on Russian losses in Ukraine. They surpass all losses by the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation from 1945 to 2022 combined. Up to 728,000 soldiers eliminated, confirming Ukraine’s figures. 1/2

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

While he hasn’t used the word, Biden is describing fascism, this is what Trump’s ‘Project 2025’ is. If Trump does secure a 2nd term as US President, democracy will die in America, and the rest of us around the world face the consequences. This absolutely cannot happen.

Remember: Texas is not a red state. Texas is a massively voter-suppressed state, with a lot of people working very hard and very thanklessly to fix that.

Come on, y'all. For America. For Ted. Let's do this.

Ted Cruz gets bad news in Texas Senate racewww.newsweek.com A Manhattan Institute survey of 600 likely voters in Texas showed Cruz's lead over Democrat Colin Allred is just 3 points.

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

Free idea for a journalist: get some graphic designers, go through the Project 2025 plan, cover 1. What already in place that'll make it easier for it to happen 2. Anything in place/being done to prevent it from happening. Make it a series of infographics. Maybe someone's already doing this?

This is from Ghislaine Maxwell’s testimony. Why the f*ck is that traitor rapist son of a b*tch not in prison. Why the f*ck is the media not talking about it. Donald Trump is a child rapist

The real steal

Don't know exactly what I'll do with these little green needlepoint rectangles, once they're filled & edged with cream floss. They'll get inlaid into fabric applique, probably books. A way to use this 8x9" scrap canvas from a Goodwill kit I grabbed for the thread.

"Hypocrisy" isnt the problem; the blatant treason it represents is. Nothing will be done about it though because Americans dont challenge authority.

Watch SCAVENGERS REIGN. Watch CAROL AND THE END OF THE WORLD. Watch BLUE EYE SAMURAI. Watch PLUTO. Netflix needs to understand that *original animated series for YA/adults* have value beyond raunchy comedy. There IS an audience for it. They’ll keep canceling them unless they see those numbers.

No, I will not interact with fucking cryptobois on this account.

Sometimes when there is too much desperate noise in the world, I selfishly just *stop* and look at something lovely for a while. Like this cloisonne pendant. Pierced copper, same design on both sides, hand enameled, polished, and plated in gold. Probably Chinese tourist trade, but gorgeous.

If you're worried about brevity in your writing, don't. It took Project 2025 nine hundred pages to say fourteen words.

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

That part isn't the disinfo part. It's the chaos and rumormongering that is going to be used to get Mike fucking Johnson etc. into power once they push Kamala Harris out of the line of succession. It's also being used to distract everyone from mounting a coordinated response to the Supreme Court

1/ Holy shit, #ThriftFinds. Star of the show, a size 16 Christina Wu style 15500 ivory/blushpink dress that was at least $1000 new ($12 at Goodwill, put on floor July 2). Donated because of some missing beads on bodice. So big it had to leave Goodwill in a large garbage bag. This dress is weird.

You know that people are starting to get how dangerous Project 2025 is when Donald Trump had to pretend to disavow it. It was an honor to talk to the Sultan of Schedule F @donmoyn.bsky.social about his supporting role in the Last Night Tonight explainer that helped this story break through.
