#project 2025 = no regulations

[konzenkoryuu]

I found out today that project 2025 wants to repeal dietary guidelines. And the wording makes it sound very much like they want less regulation. Does that mean that food companies would no longer have to declare allergens? Or is it a complete no labels at all? That would be dangerous…

Biden-Harris made America safer — Donald Trump could undo their progress instantly 

Crime and murder rates have fallen over the past two years, and a new Biden-Harris regulation aimed at the black market in guns could drive them even lower. But voters should know that if Donald Trump gets re-elected, major progress on guns could end with the stroke of a pen.

Hey, so uhm, this is what Project 2025 would mean for the cities we live in. Remember that our cities are built to their regulation, and these changes would fundamentally alter a lot of the regulations that make our cities.

anti electoralism is annoying at the best of times but when you hear the two dumbest people the heritage foundation could find discuss climate change and know that there’s a chance of their guy being in charge of the epa. it’s bleak folks

the scariest part of this to me is the schedule f shit. he's gonna try to give himself the power to essentially fire and replace any government employee at will and he's pretty much guaranteed to succeed. like forget deregulation he can put any yahoo he wants in major positions of power in the FDA regardless of how unqualified and profit-motivated they are and scare anyone who knows what they're talking about into never talking at all because they'll be replaced if they're too inconvenient or piss off their republican appointed bosses too much. the EPA and the FTC and the FCC and the weather service and the CDC and the list goes on. like shit has always sucked but these used to be nonpartisan institutions and it's horrifying to think that everything from media regulations to weather reporting to environmental protections to food and drug safety laws to disease management is probably gonna end up bottlenecked and butchered by some fuckhead who doesn't believe in science. like people are going to die from this and it will have an impact on every aspect of everyday life. i really hate to be so pessimistic because it isn't helpful and it isn't hopeful but holy shit it is so hard to be anything but terrified and furious right now.

[c-optimistic]

so i know I talk a lot of shit about the dems and my irritation with them and i think the arguments of ‘gilead!’ and ‘concentration camps!’ are less than persuasive given it’s 1) fearmongering on the first point and 2) already exists, just for groups we seem to forget about when it’s the blue guys in charge on the second.

but i shall give credit where it’s due and point to a reason we should at the very least ensure the presidency remains in the hands of the blue. judges. the current administration has done a pretty swell job with nominations of federal judges, choosing civil rights lawyers and public defenders to appoint to the federal judiciary—something that hasn’t really been a focus since Carter really. this is super important because the judiciary is arguably the most powerful branch of government currently (thanks scotus, who cares about checks and balances after all?). the likelihood the senate will flip is quite high, the map is really terrible for dems, even with a high voter turnout. so ensuring someone batshit crazy can’t nominate insane people to the courts is a really really good reason to want the blue guys to win

yet despite the very real problem here it’s not something i see pointed out as often as it should be. so when you’re talking to people, the judiciary should be one of your most important points as to why this election matters. just my personal opinion

[konzenkoryuu]

I have food allergies. Because regulations have been relaxed, I don’t feel safe trusting things with ingredients that may be allergen based. And then when I call the company to ask, and double check, they can’t tell me either!

Headlines across eight years. Who you vote for really does matter. None of these headlines delve into the Boar's Head listeria outbreak because I can only post ten photos in one post. But the slaughter house self regulate headline? Yup, that's why.

SCARIER THAN HALLOWEEN

SCARIER THAN HALLOWEEN, Project 2025 #Trump #Danger #Politics

The scary facts that follow appeared recently on the SERENDIPITY website. Project 2025 Worst Ideas, by Rich Paschall The Heritage Foundation’s document of almost 1000 pages, Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, takes aim at some of the basic protections of our federal government. More than that, it works toward eliminating democracy and moving toward a more authoritarian theocratic government.…

Read the Project 2025 manifesto RIGHT NOW

It's MUCH worse than y'all have been hearing

There is so much here you'll have to look at it for yourself, but the climate policy alone is nightmare fuel.

The republican coalition wants to essentially end funding for green energy, dramatically promote and expand fossil fuel industries, and eliminate funding and regulations in all sectors promoting climate change mitigation. Task forces and offices related to clean energy and lowering carbon emissions will be eliminated and replaced with offices for promoting fossil fuels.

They want to LOG NATIONAL FORESTS TO "THIN" THE TREES TO STOP WILDFIRES.

THEY WANT TO FORCE OREGON AND CALIFORNIA TO LOG THEIR NATIONAL FORESTS AND TREAT THEM AS FOR TIMBER PRODUCTION

There are specific provisions in Project 2025 to essentially destroy the Endangered Species Act, causing it to defer to the rights of "economic development" and "private property." The plan includes delisting gray wolves, cutting the budget so that a "triage" system is used to determine which species will get protection, removing funding for research, removing experts and specialists from the decision-making process, and preventing "experimental" populations of animals from being established.

This is so much worse than I expected it to be and there's much more past that: They want to deregulate pesticides and remove much of the EPA's ability to regulate pollutants as well.

Also included in the manifesto is that we should

withdraw from nuclear weapons nonproliferation agreements, build more nuclear weapons, and resume nuclear weapons testing

The manifesto comprehensively outlines the scorched-earth elimination of abortion access, down to ensuring doctors aren't even trained to perform abortions. There are plans in here to disrupt abortion access GLOBALLY, not just domestically.

Not only that,the Republicans plan on reframing family planning programs around "fertility awareness" and "holistic family planning."

I can't even describe it all. I'm trying to give screenshots of the most important things but there's so much.

The foreign policy is a nightmare. They plan to push fossil fuels onto the Global South and promote the development of fossil fuel industry in the "developing world."

It is aggressive and antagonistic towards other nations, strongly pro-military, proposing that we INCREASE (!!!!!) defense spending, improve public opinion of the military and military recruitment, and increase the power to fund new weapons technology.

Just read the Department of Defense section. It's about greatly increasing and strengthening the military-industrial complex, collaborating more closely with weapons manufacturers, removing regulatory barriers to arming our allies and to inventing new military weapons, and recruiting more people into the military. They include provisions to develop AI technology for surveillance. And of course, continuing to support Israel is in there.

Elsewhere it proposes interfering in foreign countries with creepy pro-USA propaganda campaigns, even establishing international educational programs where faculty have to pledge to promote USA interests.

There's a line in here about getting rid of PBS because SESAME STREET is LEFTIST for God's sake.

HOW are people claiming democrats have the same policies. I feel like i'm losing my mind.

I don’t know how anyone is supposed to go about their everyday lives working/doing school/doing housework when the crushing weight of local, national, and global politics is just looming over our heads

Conservatives accused Walz, a longtime gun owner and hunter, of being a “political chameleon” and “flip-flopping” because he supports “common-sense solutions to end gun violence”

The apex predator is not a human.

It's a corporation.

We treat corporations like humans, they are not. We defer to them as people in how they spend their money to pedal influence, except that they are not subject to the law and the way that people are, because corporations can bankroll the law as it applies to them.

There should be no Citizens United. There should Be-no-B(ill)ionaires. There should be no unregulated capitalism, monopoly, class warfare, and wealth stratification that make our nation ill. 100% taxation on every dollar over $999,999,999.

2 years ago there were massive baby formula shortages in America. A major producer was shut down over safety and cleanliness issues. Parents had to drive long distances to feed their kids. Not everyone has breast milk or enough. Some kids need specialiality milk eg lactose.

In Australia, we occasionally have shortages of baby formula. It tends to be that in China someone broke the rules and killed and injured babies with tainted baby formula.

So the buyers and international students buy baby formula to send home. And our shops limit purchases to 2 tins a customer.

And you guys want to invite that?

STOP Project 2025.

Republican's don't care about children.
