Rep. Steve Cohen (TN-9) is doing what I wish Democratic party leadership were doing - highlighting that this Republican administration and Republican Congress are implementing #Project2025. I hope his constituents are listening and take heed.

"Jonathan Berry, who was nominated to be the solicitor at the Department of Labor, wrote the labor chapter for Project 2025, .... That section advocates for replacing H-2A workers with local workers and automation. While technology could replace some specific farm tasks, many crops still depend primarily on human labor, and small farmers say they can’t afford to invest in equipment that could take more than a decade to pay off."

@swresourcesandsupport I may kmow some but when asked they explicitly declined consent for forwarding their details, citing #CloudAct and it's inherent incompatibility with #GDPR & #BDSG as well as the willingness of the #Trump-Regime to nilly-willy penalize individuals when they dislike them.

Yesterday, I spent a little time on this account writing about the Trump regime, Project Esther, and the fascist American right's plan to use anti-terrorism laws to crush their political opposition. Unfortunately, I ran out of room to say everything I wanted to say so last night I expanded my thoughts over on NIDC and did the sourcing legwork.

Nina-Bytes: Trump’s COINTELPRO Looms Into Focus

"This then brings us to the ominous reality so very few observers in the media seem to be grasping, namely that targeting the anti-genocide, pro-Palestine movement is merely the tip of the fascist spear in the Trump regime’s war on dissent and political opposition. The rhetoric, suppression techniques, and legal arguments that are being deployed against foreign anti-genocide student protestors as we speak are easy to replicate while targeting more or less the entire oppositional left in America, including milquetoast NGOs, aid groups, and likely even “liberal” political organizations like the Democratic Party. The broad and extremely vague nature of our terrorism laws leaves room for the Trump regime to label almost anyone a member of a terrorist organization, and define material support for that organization in any way they please. The authors of Project Esther are very clear that they consider opposition to capitalism, or the American state as embodied by the Trump administration, to be valid targets for those designations. If anti-genocide protest is “materially supporting Hamas,” then funding migrant support work is probably “materially supporting narco-terrorist gangs,” and speaking out against the US government can be “materially supporting” any group of “bad guys” around the globe that do the same. The possibilities for targeted, legalized repression are quite literally endless."

How is it that few people - including esp Dem leaders - are discussing the fact that Trump spent the campaign saying he knew nothing about #Project2025 and had no intention of following its gameplan yet he's installed Vought - one of the creators of it - at OMB and that Vought is executing the gameplan?

A new #Trump executive order defines a "gold standard" for federally-funded science.
whitehouse.gov/presidential-ac

Three points for now, and more later.

1. Most of the standards (3.a.i-ix) are borrowed from #OpenScience or conventional pre-Trump science. So far, so good.

2. Implementing the new standards is left to Trump-appointed political operatives (3.c).

3. With minor exceptions, agencies must make public "the data, analyses, and conclusions" on which they make policy (4.a.i.A).

More on the 3d point. In Trump's first admin, the Environment Protection Agency (#EPA) and Dept of the Interior required that all data used in policymaking be open. That seemed to be a laudable #OpenData policy. But it meant that EPA couldn't set policy based on private medical data on the harms caused by air- and water-borne pollutants. It was a head-fake to open in order to relax policies protecting the environment. That's why I called it #OpenWashing. Point 3 above is a big step in the same direction.

Note that #Project2025 (p. 439) calls for this kind of openwashing, specifically at the EPA. The new Trump EO acts on that recommendation and extends it to all federal agencies.

I posted this ELEVEN years ago (2014)...

Can I finally say "I told you so?"

--=--

"And that is what has happened. Look at our inability now to do anything. Look how the GOP throws their religion around…

I want a conservative opposition. I want to be able to choose my candidates based on their ideas, not their mental state."

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them. ~ Republican Barry Goldwater

I think, probably, just being rich had isolated her from her circle of long term friends (I assume she had a circle of long term friends). I think that someone on the radical Christian right -- the same people who are behind #project2025 -- deliberately pushed stories of #trans athletes competing in women's sport into her feed, and then cosied up to her and sympathised with her about all the horrid mean people who criticised her for retweeting them.
