The reason that the language of domestic abuse and the language of authoritarianism looks the same is because it's just the same thing on a different scale.

The GQP wants the American population sick, poor, hungry, and stupid: cut AIDS prevention, undermine women's health care, tax cuts for me not for thee, no school lunch/summer food program for kids, let us give these education $$ to fundie charter schools and ban books. Rotten to the core.

Can anyone share efforts that specifically support Black trans women? They are the most vulnerable group to being murdered in the US.

Missing Chicago woman’s loved ones beg for better search in Bahamas: 'Black women matter, Black trans women matter.'chicago.suntimes.com Taylor Casey's friends and family called on government officials to prioritize her case and highlighted the lack of resources often given to missing cases of people and color and LGBTQ+ people.

I will entertain the notion that the GQP is serious about "cooling things down" when tRUmp and Vance call on the various fascist militias to put away their guns and refrain from threatening civil war.

Decade after decade of stochastic terror, gun rights fervor, & the foment of conspiratorial thinking by, from, on, & within the right, & yet it's somehow DEMOCRATS & the LEFT who need to "calm things down" or "lower the temperature?" Nah son. We *been* calm, and quite fucking cool and collected. …

Look, there's a LOT of issues with Project 2025. Not the least of them is internal contradictions: how you gonna have no minimum wage and also have "traditional" families with one wage earner? Amid dramatically rising food prices cuz no workers?

An example of everything that is wrong with the mainstream media. About 98% of the blame for the fact that tRUmp could win can be laid at the feet of the MSM and Faux. And the other 98% on the fact that the American public has lost the ability to think critically.

We need a table showing the effects at income levels from $25k to $ 5 million. With numbers of taxpayers in each bracket. Anybody?

Robert Reich: Under the tax plan proposed in Project 2025, it's estimated that a family of 4 making $100,000/year would get a $2,600 tax hike. But a family of 4 making $5 million/year would get a $325,000 tax cut. It's a trickle-down nightmare.

There’s nothing in the rules of Monopoly that says you can’t flip the board over and punch your opponent in the mouth. But if someone did that, they’d be out of the game forever. What Trump did was far, far worse. And everyone’s still just… sitting at the table, letting him play.

There’s a presidential candidate who organized a coup on live TV and was recently convicted of dozens of felonies for something entirely separate, and the political system is demanding his opponent step down.

Today's harvest of squash, turnips, peppers and flowers. A little more each day.... About time to start sharing so nothing goes to waste.... 🌱

🌱

The first tomatoes, a pepper and 2 turnips. It took about 2 days for the big one to go from the size of the small one to being "too big". It'll still be tasty pureed.

Tell any on-the-fence NFL and NBA fans you know that Project 2025 is planning to ban Sunday games. Plus, no beer or wine sales on Sunday.

"They're just fearmongering about Project 2025," brought to you by the people behind "They're just fearmongering about a coup" and "they're just fearmongering about abortion bans"

I continue to be astonished and appalled at the press that takes anything said bby TFG at face value. "I don't know anything about Project 2025.". OMG tRUmp is showing the first signs of cognitive decline! OMG! Dude, tRUmp lies every time he opens his yap. That's the first line of the lede!

I guess I don't understand something: why isn't the Project 2025 document prima facie evidence that the authors have engaged in a conspiracy to commit insurrection? Serious question.
