If you own a Tesla, you are funding Musk, who is funding Project 2025. So, that makes you a fascist.

Something that isn't getting airplay: Putin's ethnostate goals in Russia mirror Project 2025's goals for the US. So closely, they are likely in communication. Who actually picked Vance?

If you're having a bad day, here's a drunk and staggering Rudy Giuliani taking out a row of chairs a the RNC www.instagram.com/reel/C9gKFDU...

C'mon, brain, you already have too many arty projects. Brain: "Wait! 3.3 count per inch cotton interlock canvas for latch hook rugs!" We did latch hook, meh. "Needlepoint is simply colored thread wrapped around a gridded base. What if we wrapped colored threads around rug canvas grid?" Okaaay.

Normally I'd scrounge something at Goodwill, but I didn't want to break up a latch hook kit that someone else could use.

This Prime Day, let's all remember back to that time that Amazon was bootlegging my merchandise: www.theverge.com/22924353/art... Anyways, use the code AMAZONCRIME to save 15% off of legit merchandise at effinbirds.com until tomorrow.

Repost widely. This is what Vance believes and how he will behave.

JD Vance just deleted from his website his abortion stance. They lie to get the job.

There's room for just the *suggestion* of Russian novichok, too. Sow a little chaos.

Imagine how Trump will feel once he realizes the Project 2025 people *want him removed* as soon as Vance is in power. Did someone pay the shooter, hmm?

Wow, that's tricky. I dislike sewing knits & avoid them whenever possible. You are braver than I.

I know NYT is the "paper of record" and all, but their avoidance of directly naming anti-social behaviors from right- wing groups and officials doesn't make me seek them out-- whereas USA Today, an often ridiculed paper, gets right to naming the individuals who are harming vulnerable people.

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Republican-led states are blocking summer food benefits for hungry familieswww.usatoday.com Money for food is especially tight for families in a dozen states where Republican lawmakers declined to accept federal food assistance.

Are you or a family member in the military? Trump's #Project2025 will cut the pay Do you count in SS and/or Medicare? Trump's #Project2025 will make deep cuts Do you have children in public (not private) school? Trump's #Project2025 will force them to be drafted Etc, etc, etc.

Cutting pay for the military, Cuts to Social Security and Medicare, eliminating Department of Education, mandatory draft sign up for public school graduates, eliminating the minimum wage, national abortion ban. No more FDIC to safeguard your money in the bank and tons of other regulation cuts.

That would be me, as well.

also and I feel like I buried the lede here: it calls for the people who CREATE queer media to be imprisoned. That'd be people like me. Or any other queer creator you love. Any queen who's been on drag race. Chappel Roan. Janelle Monae. Anyone who's made a piece of queer media. Imprisoned.

I honestly think if you want to stop Trump from getting a second term, then publicly highlighting J.D. Vance's direct connection to Peter Thiel and open admiration of Curtis Yarvin might have more salience than just saying "Trump is a threat"

Heritage Foundation president/Project 2025 architect Kevin Roberts told the NYT today they had been "rooting" for Vance to get the VP nod. Roberta previously said of Vance: "He is absolutely going to be one of the leaders — if not the leader — of our movement."

Notably, this is exactly what is proposed in Project 2025.

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump does not erase the crimes that Trump himself has committed against American democracy, or the crimes he would commit if given the chance, and no one is obligated to pretend otherwise www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Nothing About the Attempted Assassination Redeems Trumpwww.theatlantic.com This crime does not erase what the former president has done, or what he has promised to do.

No one is going to tell Donald Trump that the same people who manipulated him into picking Vance are probably the same people who quietly manipulated the young shooter. Trump was always a more-or-less convenient patsy for Christian Dominionists. Pence failed. They won't take that chance again.

Melania sure won't. She went into this gig wanting to be a rich, private widow, & that's exactly what she'll get. No matter how Trump passes, it will get framed as useful martyrdom by his rich Dominionist handlers, who loathe his base as much as he does.. But no one is gonna tell him this.

I suspect Trump's decision was led by his Dominionist handlers more than his free will. No matter what he *thinks* just happened. (Just as he was manipulated into choosing Pence. Pence failed in the clinch, so they want insurance for Round Two.) Trump was never going to pick a woman VP.

As long as it is. I look at world history I saw happening: (Ireland in the 70s) and Sarajevo (1992-1995). That is the house to house conflict I've been fearing from Christian Dominionists since 1986. Never doubt they will do it. It's what they did during Jim Crow.
