Reuters has reported that Thiel & Mercer back the Rockbridge Network & that Rockbridge’s effort to influence journalism is led by Firebrand Action. Reuters was unable to identify any Firebrand-backed media outlets, but I see that Firebrand has repeatedly amplified both Tucker & New Founding. 1/

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Me and @mtnmamaco.bsky.social talked with @a4pep.bsky.social earlier this week about how #publiceducation is being dismantled by an alliance of #ChristianNationalists and wealthy privateers and a lot of specifics about #Colorado. @mcolorado.bsky.social makes an appearance as well.

“Stanford’s top disinformation research group collapses under pressure *** 2 ongoing lawsuits & 2 congressional inquiries into the Observatory have cost Stanford millions of dollars in legal fees,” while GOP “legislators threaten 2 cut federal funding to universities studying propaganda.” 6/14/24 1/

Now that Project 2025 is here, we need to be educated on their plans, and to understand their real intent. Especially related to education. #Project2025 #Education #HeritageFoundation

Anyone else feel like Chicken Little? The sky is falling and not enough people are paying attention.

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way. It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent. We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.

So to summarize, according to #maga, any Black, gay or trans person who achieves any position, no matter how degreed or credentialed they are is an unqualified #dei hire. And any white person, however unqualified or even sketchy is inherently qualified when they get a job. Do I have that right?

BREAKING: President Biden has helped secure the release of three wrongfully detained Americans from China. They will be home for Thanksgiving for the first time in years. Thank you, Mr. President.

I am once again asking The Democrats to make Project 2025 a topic of national conversation.

Funny because true.

Tommy got his Putin talking points scrambled.

Well, @fredclarkson.bsky.social called it (w/ the help of a stellar researcher who is now offline) on the America First Policy Institute and its Trumpian/NAR connections back in May. More on how Christian dominionists helped secure the election here religiondispatches.org/wheres-walln...

Over in the #BadPlace, the propaganda machine is alive and well. In what appears to be a Musk endorsed account, the Conservative PAC is promoting #ChristianNationalism #Project2025 & amping up their N*zi rhetoric.

So let me get this straight. If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check. But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't? Got it.

This is the way …..

New in PN: RFK Jr. is a massive public health threat "Kennedy has articulated a vision that will, if enacted, lead to the deaths of untold numbers of people, many of whom have not even been born. It's difficult to overstate the long-term danger he poses."

Trump's demand that the Senate permit him to use recess appointments to put his nominees in place is about more than just getting those nominees on board. joycevance.substack.com/p/what-letti...
