Did you know that there’s a Project 2025 website? And a thirty-chapter agenda?
My Project 2025 is to do what I can (with modest means, admittedly not much) to prevent their Project 2025 from being realized.

“four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way”
have you seen robert reich's view on it: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/project-2025-is-trumps-brainchild
reich was sec of labor under clinton.
considering it's over 900 pages i'm sure that there are inconsistencies in it. and particularly when written by a committee.
we had a saying in law school -- the longer the contract the easier to break. the one page ones are the ones that are hard.

The pillars. I guess that they can pave the way if they fall and roll over everything/everyone in their path.
I hadn’t seen the Reich piece — thanks, Kirsten.
I’m thinking about posting a sentence or two from this document every day to give an idea of what’s in it. For instance: no federal funds for a school that allows a student to be called by a name other than the one assigned at birth without written permission from a parent. I am imagining the cruelty and humiliation of that scenario for a trans or non-binary kid and the bind it would put a sympathetic teacher in.
Teachers, incidentally, are named a special-interest group in the world of education.
PS. And it’s not jus trans kids (though I’m sure that what they’re aiming at).
Like, there’s a kid in my high school whom EVERYONE calls by the name of a Disney movie character she loves and relates to. I heard her legal name once but can’t even remember it. This kid has lots of disabilities and being able to claim her own name is so wonderful for her—and a joyous point of connection with other people too.
I’ve already written a post about the name and pronoun prohibitions that I’m posting tomorrow. Stay tuned!
