Andrew Prokop at Vox:
Former President Donald Trump has lately been trying to distance himself from Project 2025, claiming it was cooked up by the “severe right” and that he doesn’t know anything about it. But it turns out the severe right is coming from inside the house. Kevin Roberts, the self-proclaimed “head” of Project 2025, has a book coming out in September — and the book’s foreword is written by Trump’s vice presidential candidate, J.D. Vance, who lavishly praises its ideas. “Never before has a figure with Roberts’s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism,” Vance writes, according to the book’s Amazon page. “We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”
What ideas? Like Vance, Roberts is obsessed with the idea that the left controls major American institutions — he lists Ivy League colleges, the FBI, the New York Times, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Department of Education and even the Boy Scouts of America. The book argues that “conservatives need to burn down” these institutions if “we’re to preserve the American way of life.” (Vox has requested a copy of the book, but has not yet received one at the time of this writing.) Obviously, this poses a problem for Trump’s attempts to distance himself from the virally unpopular Project 2025 and its lengthy agenda for what he should do if he wins, which includes proposals to restrict abortion access and centralize executive power in the presidency.
And it’s one more indication that Trump’s pick of Vance might be politically problematic for him. Vance has a fascination with provocative and extreme far-right thinkers, and a history of praising their ideas. He is not a running mate tailored to win over swing voters who are concerned Trump might be too extreme — quite the opposite. The book was written and announced before Vance was chosen as Trump’s running mate. But there’s some indication that people involved had some late second thoughts about it. It was originally announced as “Dawn’s Early Light: Burning Down Washington to Save America,” with a cover image showing a match over the word “Washington.”
More recently, though, the subtitle has been changed to “Taking Back Washington to Save America,” and the match has vanished from the cover.
[...]
Vance agrees quite a bit with Project 2025’s most extreme ideas
Project 2025 contains a multitude of proposals in its 922-page plan, not all of which J.D. Vance necessarily supports. But he’s on record backing ideas similar to those put forth in two of Project 2025’s most controversial issue areas. The first is abortion. Project 2025 lays out a sweeping agenda by which the next president could use federal power to prevent abortions, including using an old law called the Comstock Act to prosecute people who mail abortion pills, and working to prevent women from abortion-banning states from traveling out of state to get abortions.
Vance is on record supporting these ideas. Last year, he signed a letter demanding that the Justice Department prosecute physicians and pharmacists “who break the Federal mail-order abortion laws.” In 2022, he said he was “sympathetic” to the idea that the federal government should stop efforts to help women traveling out of their states to get abortions. That year, he also said: “I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally.” At other points, Vance has struck a different tone. ““We have to accept that people do not want blanket abortion bans,” he said last December. And this month he said he supported a Supreme Court decision that allowed the abortion bill mifepristone to remain available. Here, Vance is trying to align with Trump, who — fearing political blowback — argues he merely wants abortion to be a state issue, despite his long alliance with the religious right. But Vance’s record implies his true agenda might be otherwise.
The second controversial area where Vance is sympatico with Project 2025 is centralizing presidential power over the executive branch. The project lays out various proposals to rein in what conservatives view as an out-of-control “deep state” bureaucracy — mainly, by firing far more career civil servants and installing far more political appointees throughout the government. Vance, as I wrote last week, has backed a maximalist version of this agenda. In 2021, Vance said that in Trump’s second term, Trump should “fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people.” The courts would try to stop this, Vance continued, and Trump should then “stand before the country like Andrew Jackson did, and say, ‘The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”
While Donald Trump is doing his darndest to supposedly run away from the highly unpopular Project 2025, his ticketmate J.D. Vance is making that proposition difficult to impossible.

This is far from surprising, Republicans love to talk a lot about how they care about life but they really don't. True care would be establishing a national childcare system, true care would be preventing school shootings, true care would be eradicating student lunch debt! But it was never about care but rather control, they seek to control women's bodies and use children as a cudgel like they do with other groups. Do not be deluded, Republicans will gladly strip women of their rights if we do not put up a united fight, they will strip us of all our rights if we do not vote them out of office. Vote blue and vote Democrat, it's the only feasible way short of violent tactics to prevent the loss of the rights we hold dear.

The number of women in Texas who died while pregnant, during labor or soon after childbirth skyrocketed following the GOP’s 2021 ban on abortion care — far outpacing a slower rise in maternal mortality across the nation, a new investigation of federal public health data finds.

Hey Everyone ,:]
It's been a rough day for US citizens, hasn't it?
For the next four years, and possibly longer, things will not be the same for queer people, women, veterans/soldiers, and people of color.
If you aren't sure of exactly what was going to happen to your rights, here is a link to an extremely helpful source. This is more focused on queer and reproductive rights, so here's another that's more focused on what's going to happen to immigrants, PoC, etc.
Here are some links/numbers if you need someone to talk to:
The Trevor Project - A website for queer people and connects them with someone to talk to, they even have a "quick exit" option (esc x3 for computer users) if you need to close the tab quickly.
988 - Basically the 911 for mental health issues (US, Canada, Hawaii only, other options below)
741741 - Similar to 988, but only text based. (US only)
116 123- UK crisis line
13 11 14 - Australia crisis line
Right now, we're answering any and all asks asap regarding comfort for the election <3

Walter Einenkel at Daily Kos:
“There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it's born,” Davis said before allowing Harris to respond. “Well, as I said, you're going to hear a bunch of lies. And that's not actually a surprising fact,” Harris said. “Let's understand how we got here. Donald Trump hand-selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade, and they did exactly as he intended. And now, in over 20 states, there are Trump abortion bans, which make it criminal for a doctor or nurse to provide health care in one state.”
On the debate stage Tuesday night, Kamala Harris torched Donald Trump’s nonsensical lies on abortion and his role in getting Roe overturned that has led to several states with abortion bans.
Harris dropped a truthbomb with this quote: “One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government and Donald Trump, certainly, should not be telling a woman what to do with her body.”
Moderator Linsey Davis delivered a brutal fact-check to Trump’s bogus lie about post-birth abortions that don’t exist (which it’s called infanticide).

Again, I'm not a political blog and never will be. And I'm also not a USA citizen (thanks god)
But I am a woman and queer, and I support everyone in what identities makes them feel the best.
And project 2025 is objectivly disgusting for everyone.
Also, the dumbass orange man says he knows nothing about the project. Which is a bad take no matter what:
He's either with them writing it and ready to put it in place and lying about it (most likely), or he's so dumb that he doesn't have a clue what his own team is doing (still likely since he's a dumbass)
Anyway, I'm not from that country, but please: throw in jail everyone linked with that project please.
And good luck talking if pronouns are banned. No more "I", "me", "my", "myself", "we", "us", "our", "ourselves", "You", "your", "yours", "yourself", "She", "her", "hers", "herself", "he", "him", "his", "himself"; "they", "them", "their", "themselves", "themself", ... in your sentences!
(And I will delete comments from people with no real arguments as I see them so don't bother. I just want to share this since it is objectively really dangerous for a lot of people)

He deliberately picked three SCOTUS judges on purpose to ban abortion and has bragged about his success in overturning Roe v. Wade.
