“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.

“meal debt” is not a phrase that should exist in the English language, let alone as a common element of news stories about elementary schools

A fifth grader has paid off the entire meal debt, and then some, for his elementary school. In a video shared to his mom’s Facebook, Daken Kramer had challenged “friends, family and local businesses to donate what they can to this cause.” He wound up turning in a check for more than $7,300.

Most of me says that if Trump won in 2024, he wouldn’t be able to run in 2028 because the constitution forbids it. But the constitution (14AS3) also forbids Trump from running now, and the court said it’s all good and he can’t be kept from the ballot, so who the fuck knows?

New in PN: "If Trump returns, it’s likely he and his minions will push to abolish the 22nd Amendment and its max of two terms for presidents — in fact Project 2025 is already scheming to do just that. Don’t have to take it from us. Listen to the man himself."

Trump isn't joking about serving 3 or more termswww.publicnotice.co He wouldn't leave power willingly the first time. He won't if he returns to power.

It's a huge problem that stuff like the "Reich" references in a video get more traction than the fact that Trump plans to: - Deport millions - Never hold another fair election - Worsen climate change - Send the army into cities - Put the entire executive branch under his control

Oh weird you mean it was a net revenue generator all the millionaires didn't flee the state like they said they would wow that's crazy

The Massachusetts "millionaires tax" has vastly surpassed projections, bringing in more than $1.8 billion in revenue so far this fiscal year — with the prospect of a surplus of hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on transportation and education

The question for me has always been: When does it stop being relative and start being evidence? When is the line crossed and done? And if there isn’t a quick answer, then the line is already behind us.

The Israeli government: 1. Has multiple ceasefire deals largely because they refuse to agree to a permanent ceasefire 2. Use hostages as an excuse for their war 3. Attack and jail the hostage families who have protested And many diaspora Jewish leaders and orgs back this.

Just need to reemphasize this post from @eladn.bsky.social. A *lot* of you are assuming you are experts on the dynamics of American Jewish cultural institutions and you simply are not.

It is the greatest irony and perfect microcosm of American capitalist consumerism that the reusable water bottle, which was meant to reduce consumption and waste, has been turned into the hottest new trend causing everyone to mass-purchase them and they'll all end up in landfills when the trend ends

Hell Hanukkah is about pre-Christian antisemitism! There were plenty of polytheistic ancient religions that were emphatically shitty to Jews!

Megan is correct: antisemitism does in fact historically predate Christianity. It’s not accurate to say that Christians invented it; there were ancient religions and empires that committed antisemitic acts against Jews and Judea. This isn’t biblical myth, this is well established historical fact.

The irony of course is that if there weren’t a giant money machine demanding shitty, reactionary opinions and activism, almost none of it would exist. Even the crackdowns on student protests are about satisfying the emotional needs of donors who are mad at resistance to their beliefs.

The war in Gaza is globally very unpopular and in the US increasingly unpopular. Yet so many cannot understand student protests without resorting to the indoctrination arguments that the far right have made about higher ed, which were made to discredit higher ed while denying the students agency.

It’s a bitter pill to swallow but existing at a particular intersection of marginalized identity doesn’t magically endow you with a functional, accurate understanding of the history and politics that affects you, it can only make you an expert in your own lived experience.
