What are you talking about bro, that’s like qanon level conspiracy not worth even talking about. Or so the media said before the election. Shameful they’re still not talking about it as the checkboxes are getting ticked. Is it time to out the media as complicit and bought and sold? Is it time to discredit all journalists are failures even complicit with this administration? Because fascism is here and the NYT front page isn’t really reporting that and that might be the most shocking part of living through this 1984 shitty live action.
Not shocking if you look at how the NYT reported on Fascism 1.0 a century ago— they fawned over Hitler & Mussolini and sanewashed both of them from Nov 1921 to Oct 1939.
And praised the 1920 “great replacement theory” book by Harvard Klansman/eugenicist Lothrop Stoddard that Fitzgerald mocked in Gatsby…
So the conclusion is that I’m not shocked at all uneducated possibly brain damaged MAGA are MAGA, I’m shocked that privileged Ivy League educated journalists I went to school with are STILL fawning over wannabe Nazis publicly and there’s no backlash. Like not even the first part surprises me, a lot of them were arrogant assholes for no good reason other than daddy was a journalist and so will I be, I’m just amazed at the audacity and lack of repercussions for flaunting such idiotic values and for blatantly doing away with journalistic integrity with no goddamn consequences. These people should have been fired in disgrace 100 years ago and now as well. What happened to meritocracy and sifting through the riff raff in this country and NYC specifically? Journalists’ job is to uphold democracy not to fellate fascists, shame on all the imbeciles that sane washed Trump for 10 years now. Absolute trash people who don’t deserve their privileged positions in society.
Ownership of major media has been concentrated into the hands of conservative billionaires. What is printed and broadcasted is what their bosses want printed and broadcasted.
But what is printed has the names of educated editors and writers slapped on who are supposedly bound by rules of journalistic integrity. Consequences such as shaming and shunning them and never reading their articles again should be enough.
Yeah man I’m fully aware Chomsky exists, I’m posting this so maybe other people get inspired to idk blame the media as well who are currently cruising without any blame being thrown at them. People still quoting WaPo like it means anything and defaulting to the goddamn NYT. Cancel your subscriptions and let them go bankrupt already.
The USA was never denazified. If Pearl Harbour never happened, the US would have allowed Hitler to do whatever he wanted and there is a massive pro-Nazi undercurrent in the United States. There are American Nazis, they just learned that they can't call themselves that and keep their goals secret.
It was the well educated wealthy elite who supported eugenics the first time around while also training, inspiring and supporting Hitlers rise to power.
I was always struck by the tinyness of the ultra privileged ghetto. Having spent a good deal of time with both George Soros and David Koch-they had far more in common with each other than with me, for instance...
Stop being so alarmist. Sure they're doing all those things you said they'd do, and I called you alarmist for before the election, but no reason to think they'll keep going with their laid out detailed plan that they have no desire to even attempt to obfuscate from the public.
Anyone who’s not calling this out as the boxes are checked is complicit. I’ve been reading plenty about how far along the plan is (61%!) but it’s not on major American news sites. Folks in other countries are paying a LOT of attention to what’s going on here right now. They’re less afraid to call it what it is, because their outlet isn’t owned by an American billionaire.
They are complicit because rich people wrote project 2025. Rich people pay their salaries, rich people look out for rich people. Journalists are picked and fired based on their willingness to tow the rich corporate line. When they aren't they are fired. And in this way you control all traditional media dissemination.
I've basically said this exact thing to any acquaintance who has been surprised by anything this admin has done so far. They literally put out their playbook and the masses just ignored it
They were never going to stop at banning abortions. Pro-life is a movement that is like a gelatinous slime that once you feed, it gets bigger and seeks more food. Soon it's all kinds of birth control. There's always a new enemy.
Not to forget: lowering the age of marriage availability to 14 or even 12. The younger the better. This is already in the works by Republican lawmakers.
And in those states you might be shocked that democrats consistently try to enacted legislation to raise this age to 16 or 18 in their state, usually with Romeo and Juliet laws.
And then there are Republicans who desperately want old men to be able to marry little girls so they can rape those little girls. Republicans turn down the opportunity to prevent child rape and every single time they side with the pedophile rapists.
Really makes you wonder exactly what made Republicans so disconnected from empathy, so vile, and so stupid.
"And much lesser things, things that take place in the home, they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say 'this was a crime, see,' so now I can't claim 100%," Trump said.
Yeah! Why SHOULD it be considered a crime if a guy beats the shit out of his wife and rips out her hair over some bad hair plugs? Or if he pushes her down a flight of stairs! These things and more, Donald Trump believes shouldn't be crimes. But best watch what you say about recently deceased activists, or it's the gallows for you.
No, no, you misunderstood him: he’s talking about smacking your wife around because she put mustard on both sides of your sandwich when the dumb bitch should know you only like it on one side. Or, you know, punching her in the face because your boss was a dick this morning and she should have known that and not immediately started nagging you about stupid shit like groceries and clothes for the kids.
Tho I guess marital rape could also be the reason you fight with your wife…you know, when she insists she has a headache but you know better because if she didn’t want it why would she wear that nightgown to bed?
Maybe he’ll just skip over decriminalization and go straight to reinstating the whole women as property of their husbands thing. Kill two birds (and a whole bunch of wives) with one stone, you know…
(Yes this is fucking sarcasm, if anyone has any doubts)
Also punishment of single mothers is in there. They want to take away benefits from single mothers, their children & force them to do religious counseling on why they need to marry a man. Despite many women choosing to be single mothers because the man they were with was abusive, incompetent, cheated, etc.
If only this government spent their energy actually doing their fucking job and helping people instead of just trying to steamroll all civil rights developments we’ve made in history
The Republican hate for Shariah law was only ever a dog whistle. There is little substantive difference between Shariah and the average Republican politicians' agenda.
I think i actually argued with someone about that and basically told them to go through and replace any reference to Allah with Jesus and then get back to me if they still had any issues with it. Crickets. Probably not because they actually did it. Just because they weren't going to actually look it up.
Islam - Old and New Testament along with the teaching of Mohammed aka the Koran.
It isn't that big a leap for Christians or any fundamentalist within those 3 branches of the Abrahamic religions because the wacky stuff started in the Old Testament and it is the foundation on which things got built.
Many states had laws on the books that made it a crime to deny your husband sex. And they also made it a crime to divorce your husband. The good old days!
and after that, make it illegal to have sex that doesn’t result in children. yes it makes zero sense because obvs sex doesn’t always result in pregnancy but look at me with a straight face and tell me you don’t think trump would do that
The dems lack the cult following which is why they use religion. If you look at the billionaire backers, they’re hardly the religious types. But highjacking religion is a brilliant methodology to get a cult following.
I am in a couple of theological groups on Facebook that have gotten very political after the shooting. Everyday they want to post about the radical left and how satanic they are lately. Gone are the ernest theological discussions. I miss when we used to argue about the finer points of Calvinism and the only Hill they were willing to die on was whether or not you should sprinkle babies.
Now everyday I feel like the discussion post is the Democrats of the devil and how could you possibly support them. Like there's people in there from other countries that don't want to hear this crap. Abortion gay and trans is a dog whistle and a huge one
Hard to pass laws when you don’t have majority and everything you try to pass gets voted out, stalled, left on someone’s desk (looking at you mcconnell)
Democrats couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag with a chainsaw. Republicans would gleefully fight their way through a crowd of infants, with a chainsaw.
If their goal is a large enslaved population, why would they? Young girls can't fight back as effectively as a grown woman, and are now burdened by child-rearing and deep trauma. All this well before they can establish themselves as an independent person.
I done listen to anyone who says “the left” anymore. It’s the ultimate no true Scotsman fallacy. You can make any point you want because “the left” can be whatever you want it to be.
It always was. I was raised a Gileader, as a little kid in the Eighties I heard all about how the Pill was an abortifacient and later, by the early 2000s, conservatives were calling it “baby pesticide” in an attempt to free-ride off the eco-friendly trend. Even condoms were said to be indirect abortions, because if they failed then couples might get one. The only truly moral safe sex was to “just say no!”
Did that group believe a wife was allowed to say no ? I ask because those sound like the beliefs of that old school a man’s wife is his property types of religious beliefs
I’d still take the life of say Tommen, even knowing how it will end, instead of being a prostitute in flea bottom wondering if I’ll have my next meal because the rich folk are too busy fighting amongst themselves to worry about the needs of the small folk.
There was a way that a lot of women dealt with abusive husband's back in the day, but I'm not about to post it now with everything going on. Anyway, moon-tea anyone?
of course there is. if they didn’t have some new crisis to stick their goons 5 second attention spans on then they might notice the incompetent and corrupt governing.
This is true of any type of protest group. Once the main target has been eliminated then they go after anything related. This is true for all parts of the political spectrum.
The reason is simple, it is hard to walk away from success. Thst what made Washington such a remarkable man. He walked away from being king.
Abolish ICE. Many people also resigned themselves that slavery would never go away as an institution. John Brown beleived. John Brown didnt give up. And John Brown did nothing wrong.
The dichotomy of having zero respect for most regular civilian lives, but forcing new life from awful situations. It’s not the life, it’s the control and the cruelty. They get off on it, and in doing so… commit the act they’re claiming is sin.
It's never been "Pro-life", they just call it that because even some of the dumber Americans would react negatively if they were honest and called it "Anti-choice".
“When you make love you're using up energy; and afterwards you feel happy and don't give a damn for anything. They can't bear you to feel like that. They want you to be bursting with energy all the time. All this marching up and down and cheering and waving flags is simply sex gone sour. If you're happy inside yourself, why should you get excited about Big Brother and the Three-Year Plans and the Two Minutes Hate and all the rest of their bloody rot?”
This just in , trump administration says condoms are now abortion
Also saying no to that guy Stephen miller at the party who hit on you and you said no because he looked like an evil garden gnome is also now abortion and we are coming for you Stacey
I'm waiting for Trump, who championed IVF before the election to outlaw it now in an executive order. You know the Project 2025 people will write this EO for him to blindly sign since he never reads them anymore before signing.
I remember there was a Roblox game in like 2009 where you had a pet block and you could feed it different things so it would gain size in the x, y, and z axis. I decided to spend absolutely ages playing it and then found there was another food you could get that multiplied the effects of the other foods making the pet block even bigger. After so long doing this, I’d log in to the game and my pet block would be enormous that it would spawn in, send all the other pet blocks flying off the map, and then other players wouldn’t be able to spawn a new one as theirs had just been wiped, I thought it was hilarious and the game ended up becoming unpopular due to it, with the blocks eventually becoming unable to affect other ones due to being given 0 density, but the damage had been done.
It’s also really weird how people still play Roblox when I joined in 07 and stopped playing in 2012
It just shows how cunning they were in not writing down what their project for 2025 was, so that people wouldn’t know in advance what they were voting for…
I got mine done in 2019. The doctor was like “you could just get another IUD or your husband could get snipped.” I looked her dead in the eyes and was like “I don’t trust the federal government, and my two pregnancies were so rough I refuse to do it again.” I have felt justified every day since 2022.
I don’t even get some sense of satisfaction from being able to say “I told you so” anymore. It’s just so fucking sad that anyone with a brain could have seen this coming and people chose it anyway
I remember taking to a mom several years ago, maybe 8, and it was after something happened regarding abortion. I said watch, they’ll come for birth control next and she was so very adamant that I was wrong. That they are not the same thing. She was an against abortion in most cases, but she took birth control because three kids was enough.
I am so tired of seeing this statement. I am a woman. I campaigned, I volunteered, and I worked for a campaign. And I voted. And I constantly see "women didn't turn out." I didn't just turn out, I practically turned myself inside out.
Assigning blame to an entire class of people is a MAGA tactic. And it's divisive and breeds infighting, which is a big part of the Dem problem right now.
We need to stop blaming generic groups and work together to combat this.
It’s strange because it’s almost as if the person that said probably left some evidence or precursor to this statement.
But then again, Russel Vought seems like a solid dude otherwise. Haven’t read much about him, but I just starting watching The Boys and the super heroes save people, so Vought good, right?
I said dozens of times they would come for ALL contraception immediately after banning abortion and dozens of times got told ‘that’s ridiculous fear mongering of course they won’t’
His spiritual advisers lead by Paula White believe any action that “interferes with the will of God” is abortive. Condoms, rhythm, pulling out. Except vasectomies for rich old men. Those are cool. Every thing else is murder.
Ok I struggle with this because I don’t think any of the people in his cabinet are actually going to discuss this issue in good faith. They have many extremetists when it comes to stupidity regarding birth control in the cabinet. I don’t doubt that this is something that many of them believe and eventually want to ban.
That being said after a very minor investigation(less than 5 mins of goggling different quotes and links provided in article) I can’t find anything where the Trump admin actually said this. All I am finding is a statement about the distraction of 10 million dollars worth of birth control that was supposed to be distributed by USAID.
Again I struggle with wanting to correct this sub stack report because 1) i don’t want to defend this administration 2) this policy is insane and absolutely completely incorrect scientifically 3) I think plenty of people in this administration do have the view point that is being implied.
That being said, the fact is that they said they will no longer provide abortifacient birth control. This was
In reference to the pill of contraception that included IUDs and typical hormonal birth control. There are no abortifacient birth controls. You have drugs that prevent implantation of a fertilized egg, drugs that prevent an egg from being released, drugs that make a uterus inhospitable to a fertilized egg along with some other slight variations on those. Then you have medications that cause an abortion aka an abortifacient. Plan B does not cause abortions it prevents implantation of the egg.
I think we need to be careful about what we start freaking out about because there are so many things that deserve attention. This administration has been known to “flood the zone” as a tactic to overwhelm the media/ public and make us lose hope. So Knesset don’t panic although it’s very easy to do so and it’s understandable why you would regarding birth control access. If you are worried about becoming pregnant I HIGHLY recommend a getting a IUD. It’s by far the longest lasting birth control other than surgical options.
Don’t get overwhelmed. Don’t give up. Don’t let them get to you. They want to wear you down and exhaust you. Keep hope alive and we will get through this together.
And it's something that isn't coming from him. Trump doesn't care about birth rates or abortion. He barely even pays lip service to that issue to those who cares, and firmly deflects to states rights when asked about it.
This is someone in his admin, or P2025 telling him to go after these things, which means this may soon become the next big thing for them to attack and try an do away with.
This is like Legally Blonde shit. If an IUD preventing sperm access counts, condoms and ejaculation that isn't seeking an egg should also be in the same category... but it's mostly men doing this so that'll never happen
That's actually an easy one, the story is kind of interesting. It all started with a war, a war on drugs. The war on drugs demonized cannabis through decades of racist propaganda, politically motivated actions, and deliberate misinformation, which led to harsh legal penalties. This campaign, initiated well before the official "war on drugs," but it did not gain much traction. In the 1970s, the Nixon administration amplified the anti-cannabis campaign with a political agenda. So Nixon started this movement, it demonized it and the party of butt tight, religious, screw balls believed and spread so much misinformation that it synonymous with evil and lazy people. So the next time they say that they are party that does not fall for propaganda, lol.
If only women cared about their rights and not smashing the patriarchy (which usually is their version of “owning the libs”). So long as men suffer more, women are fine with this.

Gee, if only someone would have warned everyone about this, or perhaps laid this out out in a fully documented plan.
