The recent provincial election in BC confirmed that being an awful human being is no longer disqualifying in modern politics. For evidence, see: #BrentChapman

@pluralistic lays out a solid tactical plan which, while ostensibly written about countering #Project2025, could be adapted with few alterations into a battle-plan for countering the rise of right-wing politics in Canada:

“There are many reasons to staunchly oppose Project 2025. The dismantling of NOAA is only a small piece of this vast plan to control the government. It also includes proposals to eradicate the Department of Education, make it easier to fire tens of thousands of government workers and impose further restrictions on abortion, among many ideas put forth.

But today, as we watch the brewing storm and feel the dread of those directly in its path, we’re thinking about NOAA and the NHC and the NWS, all critical to our survival of this major storm and so many others. If we needed a reminder, Hurricane Helene is handing it to us.” #Project2025https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/editorials/article292970334.html?taid=66f48a40689bd50001259d8e&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

"Project 2025 manages to be more unpopular than JD Vance and Socialism combined. ...

This is entirely the result of his sad attempt to disavow this nearly 1,000-page document and the now-shuttered effort to round up sociopaths to execute the plan for a Christian nationalist monarchy that will ruin YOUR life."

Really good article regarding political organizing in the Fediverse. Well done @heidilifeldman and @tchambers 👏👏👏

Escapes me why Harris’ comms team, who are so excellent on most things, still haven’t switched on federation on their Threads account. Seems a no-brainer. 🤷🏻

#Trump has issued yet another ominous warning about his potential 2nd term, this time promising a "bloody story" for the millions of #immigrants he intends to #deport.

He made the comments at a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Sat, echoing the broader RNC’s 2024 platform. The #GOP's plans for US after a Trump victory include aggressive #immigration enforcement & #MassDeportations.

Trump says, “Getting them out will be a bloody story” regarding immigration policy plans
#Trump's *vision* for America includes #MassDeportations that will be so extensive that "huge camps" [#ConcentrationCamps] will be needed to detain people. To execute his vision, Trump has proposed the creation of a deportation force pulled from local police & National Guard troops volunteered by "Republican-run states."

#Trump’s political #incitement more broadly—[that has] increasingly focused on a supposed grand conspiracy to steal the #election from him—has made potential #violence from #MAGA #extremists a top concern. As one source put it, “they’re piling on the idea that the opposition is so out to get Trump that they even tried to kill him, & therefore retaliation is justified.” Another described #ConspiracyTheories about the shooting gives extremists “a really big plot point” for retaliatory violence.
The blame narrative from #Trump & his allies also expanded this week when #Republican Reps #CoryMills of FL & #EliCrane of Az convened an “independent” hearing they called the “J 13 Forum” at the #HeritageFoundation (home of #Project2025). They & several colleagues conducted congressional testimony-style interviews w/participants including fmr Secret Service agent & #FarRight media personality #DanBongino, & fmr Blackwater CEO & Trump political operative #ErikPrince.

"CNN's recent 'undecided voter' panel, meant to capture reactions to Kamala Harris's speech at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, has morphed into a full-blown media debacle. What should have been a straightforward segment has instead unleashed a flood of questions about voter representation, journalistic integrity, and the blurry line between informing the public and potentially pulling a fast one on viewers.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

"Dear Humans,

The news media is making God go crazy again. Lo, they’re bending over backwards like Neo in The Matrix to help Donald any way they can. Just behold this forking excrement from CBS News…."

~ God

God focuses on a disgraceful CBS headline with a "fact check" saying Trump has distanced himself from Project 2025 (in their dreams).

The #Project2025 videos coach future appointees on everything from the nuts & bolts of governing to how to outwit bureaucrats. There are strategies for avoiding embarrassing #FOIA disclosures & ensuring that #conservative #policies aren’t struck down by “left-wing judges.” Some of the content is routine…. Other segments of the training offer guidance on radically changing how the #federal govt works & what it does.
