Trump Fangirl Aileen Cannon dismisses the classified documents case. 🤬 https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/07/15/trump-classified-trial-dismisssed-cannon/

Just because the former president got his ear nicked and now thinks he’s a war hero now is no reason to stop informing ourselves—and being furious about—Project 2025. Or, as they are attempting to rebrand it in an effort to fool all us stoopid libtards, “Agenda 47.” https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/national-verify/project-2025-explained-what-we-can-verify/536-584d4a43-bfdf-44b0-a162-53abf314c843

New York Times Editor Joe Kahn said, “To say that the threats [to] democracy are so great that the media is going to abandon its central role as a source of impartial information to help people vote — that’s essentially saying that the news media should become a propaganda arm for a single candidate, because we prefer that candidate’s agenda.” The NYT is not just abandoning everything it ever stood for--it's joined the enemy.

The media apparently has no imagination. They haven't considered what their businesses will become under a second Trump administration. I would advise them to remember Soviet Russia, and what happened to media in that country.

Trump says he doesn't have anything to do with Project 2025 and doesn't know the people behind it. Of course, he was lying. Here's a story from Reuters pointing out the connections: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-seeks-disavow-project-2025-despite-ties-conservative-group-2024-07-05/

We can't depend on media that used to be bastions of investigative journalism. Today, the media has been co-opted by interests other than our own--witness the horrific downfall of The New York Times. Here's a handy compendium of factual information--and links to factual information--related to active threats to our democracy. Please spread this around: https://www.justsecurity.org/92714/american-autocracy-threat-tracker/

Curious about how much damage, exactly , the Supreme Court has wreaked upon our country? Here's a handy summary: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-takeaways-trump-chevron-abortion/

I strongly urge everyone to read about Project 2025, devised by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation. Republicans correctly noted that Trump had no real plans when he first took office. Therefore, they reason, he didn't do nearly enough damage to our democracy. The Heritage Foundation developed Project 2025 to fix all that.

Oh, look. The Supreme Court made the right decision. Boofer must have had a hangover that day. https://ij.org/press-release/gonzalez-v-trevino-decision/

Basically, this is what happened to Red Lobster. It wasn't the endless shrimp.

Dr. George Lakoff is a neurolinguistic scientist who wrote, "Don't Think About an Elephant," a book about how Republicans have used language and propaganda to steer this country into authoritarianism. I highly recommend the book--it answers a lot of questions. https://www.theframelab.org/moderate-weasel-word-masking-authoritarian-politics/
