In 1970, as political activist Angela Davis languished in a jail cell for a crime she didn’t commit, acclaimed writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin warned her and us in an open letter “… If we know, then we must fight for your life as though it were our own – which it is – and render impassable with our bodies the corridor to the gas chamber. For, if they take you in the morning, they will be coming for us that night.”

In 2023, women of childbearing age, young adults, children, African Americans, undocumented immigrants and other marginalized communities have the most to lose if Donald Trump wins a second term because he’s coming for us.

Trump — aided and abetted by far-right extremists, MAGA supporters and the remnants of the Republican Party — poses a clear and present danger to the country. They are gearing up to reassert racial and political dominance by upending the political system, eviscerating the rule of law and wielding unconstrained power in service of the interests of the far-right conservative and Christian nationalist minority.

The instrument they plan to use to implement this strategy is Project 2025. In a nutshell, as Harold Meyerson explained in a recent article, Project 2025 is a blueprint for a conservative presidency.

“The actions of liberal politicians in Washington have created a desperate need and unique opportunity for conservatives to start undoing the damage the Left has wrought and build a better country for all Americans in 2025,” the Project 2025 manifesto said. “It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration.”

There’s a lot more in the article.

“ Project 2025 explicitly states in its first action point to strengthen families, “Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” (Page 37)

Their argument is that porn isn’t protected by the 1st amendment, so if it comes to it, yes that’s exactly what we’ll have to do.”

Posting this, because someone said “they’re really going to have us enshrine porn rights into our constitution.”

The bill is another example of misogyny suddenly being something that republicans want you to worry about. Not in any other instance, just this one. Same when it comes to trans people.

There are no 'trans people'.

If you have 2 X chromosomes you're a woman.
If you have 1 X and 1 Y chromosomes, you're a man..
Just rubbing your confused little noses in scientific fact!
