ARTICLE AUG 19, 2024 Project 2025 Will Undermine America's National Security The far-right policy proposals in Project 2025 will fundamentally undermine the national and economic security of the United States, benefiting its adversaries and making all Americans less safe.

On Iran, Project 2025 advocates a markedly more confrontational stance, denigrating diplomacy and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in favor of barely veiled advocacy for regime change.
The document outlines a new security architecture in the Middle East that builds on the Abraham Accords but undermines those efforts by deliberately making no mention of the Palestinian people and promising to defund the Palestinian Authority—a sabotage of any hopes for a Palestinian state. As the past year has tragically demonstrated, continued neglect of the root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will only benefit Iranian proxy recruitment efforts and risk continued violence, including attacks on American troops and installations.

Project 2025 laid it out.

This admin believes “end of times” is real, and they’re in such a hurry they’re fine with putting the wheels in motion, even creating problems—like moving the world closer to a nuclear war.

She doesn’t raise her voice!
She raises accountability!

Letitia James walked into rooms full of powerful men who thought they were untouchable and proved they weren’t!

Strong women don’t need permission!
They need evidence!
And she brought receipts!

Gov Newsom (D-CA) has #TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy pegged, Trump is NOT a builder he’s a destroyer. He has wrecked our economy, made us not trust in our Democracy, trampled on our institutions, demolished the east wing of the White House, and broken up our alliances. Dude gotta go‼️

Jasmine Crockett isn’t mincing words!

Families aren’t enemies!
Seeking safety isn’t a crime!

Masked raids & fear tactics aren’t “law and order”. They’re cruelty dressed as policy!

Justice isn’t terrorizing communities!

Human rights don’t stop at the border!

When Jasmine Crockett says NO to Unauthorized Wars, she’s defending more than policy, she’s defending the Constitution and the lives of American soldiers!

No endless wars!
No leaders risking lives without accountability!

This is what courage in Congress looks like!

Kat Abughazaleh isn’t running to “wait her turn.”
She’s running to fight.

No corporate PACs.
No watered down talking points.
No fear of right wing outrage.

Just spine!

The original Epstein whistleblower, 90s supermodel Karen Mulder.  Why didn’t they believe her?
YouTube video by SweetandSaltyLin The original Epstein whistleblower, 90s supermodel Karen Mulder. Why didn’t they believe her?

Women have been coming forward about Epstein and the Epstein class since the 90s. Authorities that are supposed to protect women didn’t do their jobs. When people say “why didn’t you report it sooner” to women - this is why, they aren’t believed and their lives can be ruined. Karen Mulder was brave.

Text from NPR’s story about Trump’s response to the Prime Minister of Denmark. 

“Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America."

I know it’s been 6 weeks, which feels like f-n forever ago with the relentless 💩 this administration blasts out by the minute, but if this quote from Donald wasn’t concerning enough when he wrote it, lawmakers should really keep this in mind when voting on any kind of war authorization.

Omar llhan survived a war
She survived displacement.

Omar Ilhan doesn’t just represent a district, she represents every day people!

She believes in Dignity for All!
She doesn’t whisper truth to power she says it out loud!

And that terrifies the people who depend on silence!

3 US troops killed in Iran attack Several more troops were wounded as part of the U.S. and Israel effort against Tehran.

Our men and women didn’t vote for this. They don’t deserve to be used as pawns in some deranged maniac’s game of power. Hoping we lose mo more brave men and women in this senseless war.

🚨Trigger Warning! Disturbing images

A girls’ school was hit.
Soldiers told to prepare to die.

And we’re supposed to call this “strong leadership”?

Real strength protects children!
Real strength values the lives of our troops!

Escalation isn’t strength!
It’s a cost paid in blood!

Hey Marjorie Taylor Greene, you voted to give this administration unchecked power and cheered on every step. "This is not what I thought MAGA was" is not accountability, it's an alibi. Don't you dare say "shame" like you're a bystander. You ARE the reason.

They wanted silence
She gave them a movement!

When Rosa Parks refused to surrender her seat in Montgomery, she exposed the lie that injustice deserves patience!

Justice doesn’t wait!
Freedom doesn’t sit in the back!

Carry that courage forward✊🏽

Rosa Parks refused to surrender her seat in Montgomery & exposed the cruelty of segregation to the world.

Oppression depends on compliance.
Freedom begins the moment we refuse!

They called it the rules.
She called it injustice!

Stay defiant! ✊🏽
