a dead giveaway that project 2025 was written specifically for—and with input from—trump:

If the Democratic Party could just unite like the French left and center did against Le Pen and the smarmy Bardella then we never would have had Trump or the threat of an authoritarian take over of the American republic in 2024 www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/0...

France election live updates: Left-wing bloc leads in results projectionswww.washingtonpost.com The populist, anti-immigration National Rally party had been hoping to install France’s first far-right government since World War II, with 28-year-old Jordan Bardella as prime minister.

But she is right! Ft. Liberty (then Ft. Bragg) was a hot spot of organized neo-Nazi recruitment. Period. I served at that base in the 82nd in the late-90s. She's right!

Project 2025 is the real story in US politics right now—it's become a wake-up call for voters, so Republicans are panicking and trying to run away from it. But they can't, because they wrote it and it's on the record. Make them wear it like a scarlet letter.

Trump’s new Big Lie that he doesn’t know about Project 2025 might take him downwww.inquirer.com Republicans are in a state of panic now that voters are paying attention to Project 2025, their plan for dictatorship. They should be.

We understand this correct? Project 2025 is not fringe on the right. It's just that everyone in the center and on the left doesn't pay attention to evangelicals cause y'all think they're funny and weird instead of wildly fucking dangerous. Project 2025 is dead serious and extremely popular.

Project 2025 is a creation of Evangelicals and it's the core mission of the evangelical right. It's what major evangelical organizations have been building towards for decades. It's not fringe. (I just fact checked a whole book a out this.)

Posobiec set off fashy alarm bells for me back in 2017 when he was just a baby MAGA influencer with 50k followers. Now he has 2.5 million followers.

Jack Posobiec is a very influential MAGA media figure. He posted this today. In the 1930s Fr. Denis Fahey was probably most well know for being one of the most outspoken anti-semites in the world...quite an accomplishment for that era.

look - I'm receptive to both "no, it's gotta be him" arguments and "he's gotta step aside" arguments. not to be wishy-washy but both arguments have merit. "then we do a tourney" is OTOH flatly hilarious. yeah that'll go great. there will much much unity in the wake of the electoral deathmatch

To save democracy, the Democratic party may resort to deploying the greatest concept of all time: a political version of the NBA In-Season Tournament

I'm sorry, folks. As a political historian, I can soundly say that this is NOT A GOOD IDEA. Come. On. A "blitz primary?" Because popularity contests done slapdash in public view always end well??

Dumbest fuckin’ idea I’ve ever heard. “The proposal is work of Rosa Brooks, a Georgetown law professor who served in Obama and Clinton administrations and as a volunteer policy adviser to the Biden campaign in 2020, and Ted Dintersmith, a venture capitalist…” www.semafor.com/article/07/0...

And the fact that the piece didn't even mention that northern Idaho has been regarded as a haven for neo-Nazis and white supremacists since the Aryan Nations set up shop there in the 1970s is just a gobsmacking omission.

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

It's also wildly inaccurate. Plenty of the base of white christian nationalism is in wealthy suburbs and, yes, cities too. Stop buying this "barefoot hicks" b.s. and realize the fascists are down the street shopping at whole foods.

Honestly I feel deflated seeing the response to “depiction of white Christian nationalism ascendant” be cracks about inbreeding, or glee at concentrating these people in rural communities so they can eat their own

So voting is better than *not* voting when it comes to getting what you want? Huh.

Any Democrat in these states who doesn’t lean on this hard shouldn’t be in office. It’s a gift.

The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)

All you really need to know is it CAUSES IMMUNE AMNESIA. Imagine getting every single cold, infection vaccination all over again.

Most Americans don’t think about measles because vaccination had largely eliminated the scourge from the U.S. in 2000. But many Americans who survived measles as children never forgot how sick they were. These are some of their stories.

Isolation, extreme fatigue, lingering misery: What it’s like to survive measleswww.washingtonpost.com Measles is back, after vaccination largely eliminated it from the United States. Survivors describe having one of the most contagious diseases on Earth.
