These Project 2025 videos were intended to train a second Trump administration’s political appointees "to be ready on day one."

Last August, ProPublica & @documented.net obtained 14 hours of the videos, which covered everything from passing new regulations to rooting out left-wing language:
Watch: 14 Hours of Never-Before-Published Videos From Project 2025’s Presidential Administration Academy
The videos are part of an ongoing effort to recruit and train thousands of future conservative appointees. Despite Donald Trump’s efforts to disavow Project 2025, most of the speakers in the videos ha...

In Pasadena, protesters ran ICE out of a hotel. The hotel insisted ICE leave. Protesters slashed tires of many of the vehicles and local tow companies refused to assist. /

"No Kings must break through to normies, independents, and Trump voters feeling remorse...Size is persuasion...If 100,000 people show up for Trump’s parade, but 5,000,000 people turn out across the country for No Kings rallies, who looks strong and who looks weak?"

This Memorial Day Weekend, the goal is to grill without eating metal spikes.
A giant hamburger with many fixings. There is a wire grill brush sticking out of the burger. The text reads: Keep sharp objects out of your food. Clean your grill with a nylon brush or ball of aluminum foil.

The "Affirm, Answer, Redirect" model is such a helpful way to engage with tough questions, respecting the concerns of others while focusing on building power.

Image from Labor Notes: Secrets of a Successful Organizer, linked in quoted thread.
An image of a page from Labor Notes: Secrets of a Successful Organizer titled Answering Tough Questions. The page reads: On paper and in person, keep the focus on your message. When people come to you riled up over the spin from management, a good way to respond is “Affirm, Answer, Redirect.” Affirm: Let them know you’re listening, you understand, and their feelings are valid. Your co-workers may be scared or upset by what they’ve heard. Don’t get mad at them. It’s management’s fault, not theirs. Speech bubble: "I hear you, I don't want to lose money either!" Answer: Give a truthful, concise answer to the question. Don’t be evasive. If there’s a grain of truth to management’s message, say that up front. Speech bubble: "Yes, it’s true we wouldn’t be paid during a strike. Going on strike is a serious decision that requires a majority vote—so we only do it if most people decide it’s worth it." Redirect: But once you’ve answered the question, don’t get bogged down in too much back-and-forth about it. Instead, be ready with a question that brings the conversation back to your message and points out what management is trying to distract them from. Speech bubble: "If they’re so concerned about our pocketbooks all of a sudden, why haven’t they given us a raise for two years?" Remind your co-workers of the issues that inspired them to organize in the first place. Ask whether that’s changed. Steer the conversation back to the plan to win, and the next steps

The US maternal mortality rate is very bad and yet: Pregnant women are still more likely to be killed, often at the hands of an intimate partner, than they are to die of pregnancy complications.

You know what I’ve learned teaching in a medical school? The greatest health concern for a pregnant woman in America is MURDER.

It is dangerous for a woman here to get pregnant because she might get killed by the child’s father.

That’s the crisis of masculinity.

One of my subscribers, a retail business owner, commenting this morning. "The effects of tariffs are not "yet to be felt," they are "yet to be reported."
Just a quick word on tariffs from a hardware store owner: a week ago I did my first round of tariff-induced price updates, and raised retails on average 5% on imported items (on guidance from my main wholesaler, Orgill, who is one of the largest distributors in the nation). Invoices from suppliers now have "tariff surcharges" of 2.5% on them regardless of country of origin. I have significantly reduced the amount of inventory I hold in slower moving categories. And most importantly, top line sales in March were down an inconceivable 32% versus last year. I am very curious to hear how first quarter economic performance will be spun by the White House and major retailers when reported. The effects of tariffs are not "yet to be felt," they are "yet to be reported."

3 dead so far at Krome ICE detention center in Florida. Max capacity was 500, they have over 4,000 and not enough water and food. Reports say they get 1 cup of water per day.

These are already death camps.
