Remember when Democrats read out loud from Project 2025 on a national prime-time TV broadcast?
🚨🚨 SCOOP @ms.now : The Department of Veteran Affairs has quietly implemented its abortion ban following a DOJ memo issued last week.

This will affect 9 million veterans and their dependents, and has been a long time coming: It was outlined in Project 2025.

Trump’s White House UFC fight is an elevation of brutality.

Fascism has appeal because its energies exist within all of us. We all have the capacity for hate and violence. What makes liberal democracy unique is how it asks us to transcend our basest selves.

My mother, a 75-year-old Midwestern white lady who hasn’t shown any interest in popular music since the 20th century, just said out of absolutely nowhere: “I like Bad Bunny so much.”

No American president has ever named ships or institutions after himself—until now. Trump’s gold-plated presidency isn’t about strength. It’s about fear, ego, and unmistakable ignorance.

Maybe just me but to me it's incredibly obvious what these "birthright deniers" are up to. It's not an academic project, it's a political one, attempting to provide cover for conservative jurists who are now being asked to rule on this very question, and need a fig leaf of justification.

The unifying feature of every dystopian fiction novel though is that everyone is AWARE of what is happening and the consequences therein. Hunger Games, Handmaids Tale, 1984, etc. All of them begin NECK DEEP in the chaos. We are in the beginning. And people don't want to heed warnings

No agreement between the US and Nigeria about who/what was the target and whether there’s even a “Christian genocide” as the regime claims.

All of society has become way way way too interested in policing women. Women's education, success, papers, bodies, families, toys,parenting. Micromanage women has become the world's hobby

Leaders literally ignoring every real crisis but have strong opinions about women minding their own business.

Republicans have gerrymandered for decades. Ignored Democratic offers to end it. Initiated mid-decade gerrymandering on Trump's orders. But now if Democrats respond in CA, somehow that's big news, and certainly not Democrats, especially black Democrats, who are disenfranchised all over the country🙄

Good point! This is spiritually the same as the “diner safari” genre the NYT does so often.

Who needs to hear opinions from any other group of people except disaffected Republican voters?

A great example of how the @nytimes.com centers white Americans and Trump supporters in its anecdotal political coverage. You never see stories like this about Black Democrats whose cities are cracked in Republican gerrymandering to give them Republican elected officials.
They Wanted a Conservative State. They Might Get a Democratic Representative Instead.

The passage of Proposition 50, which redrew California’s congressional map, means that all of the state’s conservative north is likely to be represented by Democrats.
