Here I will be swearing about things and in such a way that would look bad on my CV. Hobbies include not wanting to go to work and reading too much.

"CBO estimates that the immigration surge will add $1.2 trillion in federal revenues over the 2024–2034 period. The annual increase in revenues grows over time and reaches $167 billion [in 2034]... In addition, the surge is projected to boost economic activity and, in turn, tax revenues."

Day 4 of posting about Project 2025 until I finish reading it The tone is so dire. It paints a picture in which the humble reader is besieged by sneering, powerful extremists who seek to prey on children and destroy families and American ways of life. For example...

"With all policies on the books as of June 2024, we estimate the US is on track to reduce its GHG emissions by 38-56% below 2005 levels in 2035, representing at least a doubling—and a four-times increase—from the pace of annual emissions abatement from 2005 to 2023." @rhodiumgroup.bsky.social 🔌💡

Trump, in a private meeting with his nephew in 2020, said regarding disabled people, "Those people, the shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die." I am not surprised he thinks this and I'm not surprised he said it, and I'm glad his nephew revealed it.

This is what I’ve said about the Roberts Court (dissenters excepted) before: “So eager to grease the wheels of fascism; so confident they’ll never look up to see the fascist’s gun trained on them.”

I wrote about how the Trump Justices tricked themselves into thinking they could turn the presidency into a near dictatorship while still maintaining their own power www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Again this is about power. How power is used. The right uses power to punish. Midwest Dems use even the narrowest majority to enact wins. None of the Aaron Sorkin West Wing unity, good Republicans, punch left bullshit. Wield power to get results. It improves lives and makes people like you.

Tim Walz I owe you an apology, I wasn't really familiar with your game

Now to just drive home the fact that this is the basic platform of the Republican Party, and has been for a long time.

The unfavorability rating of Project 2025 has increased 24 points since late June; most Americans are now familiar with Project 2025 and just one in ten have a favorable view of it.

Yeah, so, not that I think any of you would actually do this, but: these gig listings are absolutely soliciting images for training data to produce generative child sex abuse images, and that is why they are being so particular about age ranges. Do not, under any circumstances.

"In Niger, for example, local elites have used green wall programs as an opportunity to take over (and profit from) formerly public lands. In Algeria, the Green Dam program was used by the government to reduce and control pastoralism... administratively burdensome and erroneously seen as “primitive”

my big picture takeaway from today is that we have never seen a coordinated display like this from dems and we have never seen a seamless transition of support from voters like this and the real political reason is that every hates that fucking guy like they've never hated any fucking guy before

This is a great read on Baby Boomers' propensity to impose their ideas of normality on the rest of reality. Apropos for the TV generation.

I think the most important thing to remember right now is that except for the baby boom, which was a real thing which you can see in birth records, named generations are made up bullshit that boomers foisted on the rest of us because it was real for them

Oh you just call anyone “Nazi” who disagrees with you about enacting mass deportation of ethic minorities demonized as “vermin poisoning the blood of the nation” as part of a nationalist myth of purifying violence promulgated to a far right cult by an authoritarian demagogue.

I tell people a lot that we already live under Project 2025 here in Alabama. Despite the perception, AL is NOT a poor state, it is just a state full of poor people, with a power structure that uses legislature and policing to make sure those on top keep the profit and control.

Remember when @ryanlcooper.com had a complete MELTDOWN after being told that “mild” COVID can damage the immune system? Well yet another study shows how wrong he was. It’s sad to see how he and others in media have fallen into conspiracies & denialism www.news-medical.net/news/2024071...

COVID-19 leads to long-term changes in the immune system, study showswww.news-medical.net In a study recently published in the renowned journal "Allergy", a MedUni Vienna research team shows that COVID-19 leads to considerable long-term changes in the immune system, even in mild cases.

Awesome Nazi imagery they made for the headline.

I'll continue with more of this tomorrow, but holy shit, in less than two hours I was able to produce dozens of horrifying policy positions pushed by Project 2025. We could have had week of this instead of Biden Old 24/7. Demand better from journalists.
