Most of the Project 2025 agenda can be split into two categories: 1: Stuff like the anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ+ proposals that will intentionally get people killed. 2: Stuff like the "defund NOAA and privatize weather services" proposals that will unintentionally get people killed.

They have such winning ideas like “why don’t we charge people who want to know if that tornado is gonna hit their house.”

It’s weird to see a headline about the murders of three women in their home by a man who seems to have been known to them, and the headline is about outlawing the highly specific weapon used. I don’t think the crossbow is the problem here.

Ráðandi flokkurinn í Georgíu (stofnaður af milljarðamæringi á sínum tíma) sem stendur fyrir þessu lagafrumvarpi hefur opinberlega gefið það út að þessum lögum yrði gagngert beint gegn "LGBT áróðri" og almennt til að veitast að samtökum sem eru flokknum ekki að skapi. En nei nei, ESB vont, BNA vont.

ours is not a uniquely "post-truth age", but we do live in a world where even the people who insist that we do live in such an age will lie so often and so brazen;y that the lie starts to look like the truth (perhaps even to the liars). just one lesson from the "trans debate" in the UK.
