Today is Trans Day of Remembrance #TDOR. Serious question for anyone out there. While it’s important to have these days and to protect vulnerable populations, how much institutional time should be spent recognizing/elevating these relatively narrow days?

So Trump’s Border Czar nominee wrote the section on the border for Project 2025’s manifesto and Trump’s FCC nominee wrote the section on the FCC for Project 2025. But Trump had no connection to it and doesn’t know anything about it.

Curious what lines republicans are not willing to cross? Like will they be ok when he uses the military on their neighbors? Or prosecutes local officials for not going along with him?
Would like to know before the line is crossed if possible.

Short list of economic outcomes that Republicans are ok with based on voting for Trump:
1. Costs of goods going up by estimated $4000/household (tariffs)
2. Lower wages and removed worker protections. (Project 2025)
3. Gutting Ag and service sector by deporting immigrants
What else?

Some thoughts on where to go from here.
1. Many policies on the left are broadly popular, but some are not. In order to build a brand, we should not spend energy defending unpopular positions.
