Project 2025 is “a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.” The primary document of Project 2025, the magazine explains, lays out what is essentially a “Christian nationalist vision of the United States, one in which married
heterosexuality is the only valid form of sexual expression and identity; all pregnancies would be carried to term, even if that requires coercion or death; and transgender and gender-nonconforming people do not exist.”
It’s a terrifying vision of what American life could look
like, but what’s most concerning about Project 2025 is its playbook for the first 180 days of a hypothetical second Trump term. “The time is short, and conservatives need a plan,” the playbook states. “The project will create a playbook of actions to be taken in the first 180
days of the new Administration to bring quick relief to Americans suffering from the Left’s devastating policies.”
Among the numerous troubling suggestions laid out in the playbook is a detailed plan to essentially purge the federal workforce of tens of thousands of workers in
favor of hiring ones who will adhere to the conservative principles of Project 2025. Paul Dans, a former Trump administration official who’s director of Project 2025’s Presidential Transition Project, told the Associated Press the 180 day transition plan is a “clarion call to
come to Washington… People need to lay down their tools, and step aside from their professional life and say, ‘This is my lifetime moment to serve.’”
Project 2025 is the brainchild of The Heritage Foundation, the 50-year-old conservative think tank that’s among the most
influential right-wing organizations in the country.
In its nearly half century of existence, The Heritage Foundation has used its resources, influence and money to push its conservative agenda in just about every facet of American life: anti-abortion advocacy, voter
suppression, anti-climate policies, and anti-LGBTQ advocacy.
It seems odd that Americans are not taking this seriously. America is the country known for killing its native people, from becoming the richest country because of slavery, of burning people, or lynching people. The
types of people who have written Project 25 are the type of people who committed these atrocities.

Because of my distaste for American Christianity, people assume that I am not spiritual. This couldn’t be further from the truth. What I actually believe is that every single country in the world is soaked in the soul of ancestors and their beliefs. I truly think that if this is
altered in any way, it affects everything. We might dispel old faiths such as paganism but I think these beliefs are penetrated into a country. Into the rocks. Into the woods and trees. Into everything. Almost into a deeply rooted collective consciousness of the place. When it is
as it is supposed to be, it is in balance. Yet, most places are not in balance, they have been removed by most countries by force. Christianity for the most part. America is diseased, I believe, because it upset this balance on a massive scale. You go into to wilderness in
For the first time in ALL of history, billionaires paid less tax than the average worker under Trump. The richest 400 families in US paid an average tax rate of 23% while the bottom half of households paid a rate of 24.2%.
Billionaire business owners deployed lobbyists to make
sure Trump’s 2017 tax bill was tailored to their benefit. The wealthy believed they should not be held to the standards of taxes. That taxes should be the burden of the average American. It is the same with law thinking. That the wealthy shouldn’t have to be burdened with the
same laws as regular people. This is why Trump doesn’t think he has done anything wrong. Because he truly believes that the laws that apply to you and I, do not apply to him.
Regarding taxes, some families benefited more under Trump and Republicans based on how much they
For centuries kings, priests, feudal lords, industrial bosses and parents have insisted that obedience is a virtue and that disobedience is a vice. In order to introduce another point of view, let us set against this position the following statement: human history began with an
act of disobedience, and it is not unlikely that it will be terminated by an act of obedience. Human history was ushered in by an act of disobedience according to the Hebrew and Greek myths. Adam and Eve, living in the Garden of Eden, were part of nature; they were in harmony
with it, yet did not transcend it. They were in nature as the fetus is in the womb of the mother. They were human, and at the same time not yet human. All this changed when they disobeyed an order. By breaking the ties with earth and mother, by cutting the umbilical cord, man
When the segregationist George Wallace faced the moral challenge of Dr Martin Luther King Jr and the civil rights movement in 1960s Alabama, he also called upon religious leaders to vouch for him. “By no stretch of the imagination is George C Wallace a racist,” Dr Henry L Lyon,
the pastor of Montgomery’s Highland Avenue Baptist church, testified. “He has shown fairness to all people, regardless of race or color,” the Rev RL Lawrence, a Methodist minister, concurred. They were vouching for the same Wallace who had infamously declared in his inaugural
address: “Segregation yesterday, segregation today, segregation forever!” But they had adopted a false morality that framed King as an “agitator” and Wallace as a fair-minded defender of tradition and God’s good order.
She was tall. She was commanding. She was intelligent. He was the only woman to ride her own chariot. She was a teacher. A philosopher. She was kind and elegant. Everyone knew her. Her beauty was legendary, and equaled only, it was said, by her intelligence. Tall and confident,
commanding her chariot with ease, clothed in a long robe and the signature scarf of the teaching class, she must have cut a striking figure in the thriving streets of that most cosmopolitan of cities. On a March day in 415, she entered a public square near the Caesarean Church
where Christian converts were known to gather, she found her path blocked by a menacing crowd. At the head of the group stood a rough-looking man called Peter the Reader who roused those gathered to approach Hypatia and impede her way. “Now this Peter was a perfect believer in
Women would be forced into back-alley abortions, Blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors and make raids, and schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution. Writers and artists would be censored at the whim of government.
This was the 1980’s. This was what Robert Bork wanted. He wanted a seat on the Supreme Court. Joe Biden was having none of it. They believed that Biden would be no match for Bork. That Bork would wipe the floor with Biden. Biden had been in the senate for less than 20 years and
Bork was a seasoned legal mind.
The mistake they made was that Biden did his due diligence. He always did his homework. However, Biden didn’t just work with liberals. His logic and reason meant he had to work with both liberals and conservatives. Biden studied like he was
