Project 2025 raw
Direct link to the full version of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. As always, if you don’t read the source material, whether it be indictments, articles of impeachment, or policy platforms, you don’t have an opinion—you only have what someone else told you to say. Memes are for children. Even if you don’t read the entire 900 pages, the 16 page foreword outlines enough of their mission to get an idea, and you can always skip to chapters on policy issues you’re most interested in. Full PDF is available for download by clicking the READ THE MANDATE button.

Because it’s important to know what’s driving policy aside from MAGA prejudices, I’m resharing this from a while ago because this vile philosophy of longtermism is front and center in the 2024 presidential election in the form of money and influence from Silicon Valley cretins including the apartheid-raised South Africans Peter Thiel (bought J.D. Vance’s place on the ticket), Elon Musk (hijacked X into the GOP’s most important propaganda platform), and David Sack (a keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention). Article is a long read but worth the effort.
Longtermism: “A giant massacre for man, a small misstep for mankind.”

Kamala Harris first 2024 presidential campaign speech — 23 July, Milwaukee
She was on fire. If this is what the campaign will be, we have more than a fighting chance, both as a political party and as a country.
Pay no attention to the unnecessarily inflammatory CNN headline–listen to the build to the future.
New politics channel
Separating political content and discussion from Commonplace posts, starting with the 2024 US presidential election. This is mostly a reference channel and parking lot for me, but also a safety valve that will spare my friends on other social media.
