Chuck DarwinHere is what will happen on day one of Trump’s presidency, according to Project 2025 With Republicans now holding bare majorities in both chambers of Congress, the gloves come off. As Trump utters the last phrase of the oath of office – “so help me God” – the first phase of what <a href="https://c.im/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Project2025</a>’s authors call “the playbook” begins.❌First come the firings. Thousands of federal, non-partisan civil servants –environmental and food safety regulators; authorities in disaster relief coordination; attorneys overseeing anti-discrimination policies in housing, education and employment; medical and scientific researchers – receive <a href="https://c.im/tags/immediate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#immediate</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/layoff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#layoff</a> notices. 💥Many will not be replaced, as entire federal programs and agencies are shuttered. The new personnel that do arrive come from conservative thinktanks, or are 💥rightwing activists who applied through the Project 2025 application database. 🔥Political <a href="https://c.im/tags/cronyism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cronyism</a> is now the official hiring policy of the US federal government.❌Next come the <a href="https://c.im/tags/roundups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roundups</a>. As drafted by the Maga nativist-in-chief <a href="https://c.im/tags/Stephen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stephen</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Miller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Miller</a>, a broad range of law enforcement, from the national guard to state and local police are deputized for a new <a href="https://c.im/tags/deportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deportation</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/army" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#army</a>. Sweeps of neighborhoods and businesses take aim at blue states and cities, but general terror is their intended goal. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Detention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Detention</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/centers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#centers</a> are established on military bases and federal facilities with quick access to airfields to execute <a href="https://c.im/tags/mass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mass</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/removals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#removals</a>. Nearly a million lawfully present immigrants are stripped of their legal protections, subjecting them to immediate deportation. 🔸An end to Daca and a return of the Muslim ban follow. In the following months other parts of the agenda unfold. 🆘Cuts in corporate taxes so generous they would make the robber barons blush. An end to federal funding for public television and radio that forces many local stations to shutter. The termination of Head Start programs leaves hundreds of thousands of parents and guardians without preschool or childcare. The elimination of the Department of Education and programs like Title I halt funding and many protections for students with disabilities, English learners and students from low-income households.Pornography is criminalized. Ditto for abortion rights, emergency contraception and many reproductive health programs. Adiós also to most public sector unions, labor organizing rights and anti-poverty programs.⭐️It can be difficult at times to distinguish the hyperbole of Trump and the Maga movement from actual governing plans. “Build the wall” was always more of a campaign performance and fundraising stunt than a policy blueprint. But after attending several rightwing conferences and rallies for research in the last year, I have little reason to doubt their intentions this time around.🔥I’ve heard Miller at CPAC describethe deportation plans in chilling detail. I heard speaker after speaker at a Turning Point USA conference promise <a href="https://c.im/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#violence</a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/retribution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retribution</a> against political opponents, the dismantling of nearly all public goods, and plans to bring a shrill <a href="https://c.im/tags/Christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Christian</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nationalism</a> to the center of governance and civic life. ❌I’ve listened to unapologetic defenses of <a href="https://c.im/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eugenics</a> and scientific <a href="https://c.im/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> on rightwing media channels with millions of followers.And perhaps most frighteningly, I’ve observed growing numbers of young people, people of color and others outside of the traditional conservative base join the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Maga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Maga</a> faithful and embrace the <a href="https://c.im/tags/cynicism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cynicism</a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/demonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#demonization</a> that is the heartbeat of the contemporary right.Conservatives often celebrate the unity of their governing philosophy, rooted in small government, entrepreneurship, faith and family. But there is nothing coherent or rational about these policies. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Plunder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plunder</a> is the prevailing principle.And these ideas are 👉not limited to the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Heritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Heritage</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Foundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Foundation</a> or Trump alone. 🩸They have been embraced across a network of rightwing formations, some with agendas even more extreme than Project 2025.‼️<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/sep/09/trump-presidency-day-one-project-2024?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/sep/09/trump-presidency-day-one-project-2024?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other</a>

Chuck DarwinPresident <a href="https://c.im/tags/Biden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biden</a> delivered the commencement address at <a href="https://c.im/tags/Morehouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Morehouse</a> College: “Insurrectionists storming the Capitol with Confederate flags are called patriots by some – not in my house,” Biden said to applause. “We all bleed the same color. In America, we’re all created equal.”Biden also reaffirmed his commitment to an end to the <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gaza</a> conflict. “I support peaceful nonviolent protests,” he said. “Your voices should be heard and I promise you: I hear you.”Biden said the war in Gaza was “heartbreaking”, “Innocent Palestinians are caught in the middle of this,” he said. “It’s a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. That’s why I’ve called for an ♦️ <a href="https://c.im/tags/immediate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#immediate</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ceasefire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ceasefire</a>.”Despite concerns over disruptions, nobody interrupted Biden’s address, though one lone graduate stood with his back turned to Biden with his right fist raised.

Chuck DarwinCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom said today he supports President Biden’s call for a ceasefire in Gaza, citing the “ongoing and horrific loss of innocent civilian life.”“I support President Biden’s call for an <a href="https://c.im/tags/immediate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#immediate</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ceasefire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ceasefire</a> as part of a deal to secure desperately needed relief for <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gazan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gazan</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/civilians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#civilians</a> and the release of <a href="https://c.im/tags/hostages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hostages</a>,” he wrote in a letter addressed to California’s <a href="https://c.im/tags/Muslim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Muslim</a>, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Palestinian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palestinian</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/American" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#American</a>, and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Arab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Arab</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/American" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#American</a> communities. “I also unequivocally <a href="https://c.im/tags/denounce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#denounce</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hamas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hamas</a>’s terrorist attack against Israel.

Security Council to back a ceasefire resolution, and follows other leaders shifting to more forceful calls for <a href="https://c.im/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Israel</a> to change its conduct of the war.On March 3, Vice President <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kamala" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kamala</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Harris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Harris</a>, the former U.S. senator from California, called for an immediate, but temporary ceasefire — the strongest statement from the Biden administration to that point.Following his State of the Union address on March 7, when he announced a new effort to bring in humanitarian aid by sea, <a href="https://c.im/tags/President" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#President</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Biden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biden</a> called for a six-week ceasefire and a hostage-prisoner exchange. And in a call with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week, the president expressed concerns about the civilian death toll and Israel’s blockade of aid delivery, according to a White House summary <a href="https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/03/22/gavin-newsom-calls-for-a-ceasefire-in-gaza/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/03/22/gavin-newsom-calls-for-a-ceasefire-in-gaza/</a>
