Project 2025: The Manual for Making America Obey Again (Part 1) Heritage Foundation’s playbook for Trump 2.0 shows what happens when authoritarian ambition meets bureaucratic precision.

When I first heard about Project 2025, I thought it was conspiracy nonsense - too brazen, too cartoonishly evil to be real.

Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle. If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

Nick Lowles, the fighter of hate who hid from the sun As a child in the National Front’s heyday, fear made HOPE not Hate’s CEO try to conceal his origins. Now he says tensions are worse than they were in 1979

“To be honest, I think things are worse now than in 1979,” he says. “Clearly, there was a lot more racial violence then than there is now, but it’s coming back. What’s worse now is that the rhetoric of the extreme far right is not too dissimilar from the rhetoric across the political spectrum.”
