Thanks, Sue. Lacking the financial wherewithal to make much of a difference, I'm hoping this will be of service to our understanding of this public declaration of some very scary proposals.
Joyce, Living under an autocracy/theocracy is a nonstarter. This is good clear information on the danger of where Trump’s Project 2025 could take us. Vote, vote, vote. If people aren't aware of this yet, the alarm bell is ringing far and wide.
So many things about Project 2025 to be aware of; it's exhausting. Responding to just one of the many egregious points of the project, destroying the wall separating church and state, I find it infuriating that the "religious" among us who would applaud that point do not realize that the wall protects church as much as it protects state. For example, I support civil rights for all citizens, including the right to marry the person of your choice. I want government to protect this right. I do NOT expect government to require religious institutions to marry same-sex couples.
Every Saturday from now until the election is a good way to stay awake and increase the direct connections on individual lives, values, freedoms. Thank you, Joyce. Project 2025 is not a secret document. It's been out there for months. “When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.”--Maya Angelou The people behind Project 2025 are counting on all of us to prefer comfort and not do the extra effort to examine, to think, to question, and to stop the horror. The lies and propaganda have been pounding on us every day since the insurrection of the Nation's Capital January 6, 2021. The intention was to turn us on each other. We are so exhausted from filtering so many lies. The creators of Project 2025 do not want us to have any safe spaces or community conversations. It's down to the last lap of this marathon and everyone who can vote can do two things: Make sure you are registered and showing on the voter roles (check and check again with local offices that register voters because some states are actively working to "disqualify" you) and secondly, make sure you understand exactly what you--yes, you individually, will lose if Project 2025 happens. You lose freedom, rights, education, income, health, and, eventually your home and sanity. This is not about THOSE personalities out there--it's totally about YOU who you put in office to spend your tax dollars and to make rules for how you will live or die.
This is incredible to post this from now till the election, Joyce. Super super important as you so well know. I think many do not know what 2025 really entails.
So great. Still scary though. Do read Carole Cadwalladr opinion in July 27 Guardian/ This is a Misogyny Emergency. It’s depressing, as we think we’ve come a ways since 2016, but her opinion questions it. Not to be unhopeful, but just aware. If you read it let me know what you think.
Thank you, Joyce. I look forward to reading this series in its totality!

This likely will be a great deal more far-reaching than a donation. Thank you, Joyce.

And the optimist in me hopes they are ringing loudly enough to be heard wide and far.
Plus, I seem to be earning my stripes … deemed a lying, partisan troll this a.m. Bright lights here I come!

An interesting read, I do not understand America's election process although all I know about it I picked up watching the West Wing
West Wing taught us all a lot!

Thanks, Jeanine, polls are showing that when people actually understand the policies advanced in Project 2025, they become less favorable toward it.

Thanks, politico!
From a political perspective you may be right. From a human perspective the issue is fear. It is used by power( of whatever kind) to maintain control
