I have read some of the article provided by People magazine. It really is horrifying and surely will drag the nation backwards. Thank you for sharing.

watersedge.bsky.social•208 days ago

Correct on the so far wrong

charlesbastille.bsky.social•229 days ago

People Magazine? So the dentist patients in Butler, PA might actually see some of this stuff?

"Politicizing the Justice Department and FBI"

Where is the "Politicizing the Judiciary" section?

AH, they already accomplished that.

myandra.bsky.social•229 days ago

The very idea that they would use a 34 count convicted felon, a convicted sexual predator/rapist, pedophile for their "Christian" based, evil, plan. The only thing he has in common with this group is that they are both white and mean. That's about it.

squirrelygirl.bsky.social•228 days ago

Jesus. Haven't we been fighting this kind of bullshit since, at least,1972? I mean, I'm tired, but I absolutely refuse to become a "good German" to this scumbag.

tathompson.bsky.social•230 days ago

People more substantive than the major dailies. This country's turned upside down.

mitchellepner.bsky.social•229 days ago

It is great. They did a 2,500 word synopsis, with subsections in big bold print so people can immediately read what the stuff they care about most.

Thank you, People Magazine.

snarkyrobot.bsky.social•229 days ago

This needs to be the Biden/Dem campaign. Don’t attack Trump. Everyone should know about Project 2025. Every horrific thing. Name it and shame it. Tie it to every down-ballot Republican. Make them answer questions about whether they support it.

Make the platform toxic first , THEN link it to Trump.

vir2ualvibes.bsky.social•227 days ago

Great strategy.

crs1.bsky.social•228 days ago

This is where we are: People, not NYTimes, is where you go for serious political journalism

mitchellepner.bsky.social•228 days ago

People also did a great job with legal reporting and commentary on the Alec Baldwin trial, a story that I followed closely.

erikgunderson.bsky.social•228 days ago

Teen Vogue too.

Yes, I'm serious.

I probably need to familiarize myself with editors at these mags cuz whoever greenlit these pieces has backbone I rarely see at msm

The Justice Committee is already well aligned with Trump and his cronies. https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2024-07-10%20GARMs%20Harm%20-%20How%20the%20Worlds%20Biggest%20Brands%20Seek%20to%20Control%20Online%20Speech.pdf

Heritage Foundation really took Orwell’s 1984 as a how-to guide didn’t they. Newspeak will be their mantra.

korsair.bsky.social•220 days ago

The birth of Gilead.

dachte.bsky.social•230 days ago

There's a small part of this I'm okay with, but I'm horrified enough by the rest of it that it's not worth even considering.

theshrk22.bsky.social•230 days ago

There’s something for EVERY PERSON IN AMERICA in this manifesto. All are devastating! The elimination of the Department of Education has been the Republican fever dream since Reagan.

shayruldawn.bsky.social•230 days ago

Now that they've gotten wind of it, they are saying it's just "guidelines" and we are overreacting.

ellz.bsky.social•230 days ago

Oh, so they will do way worse

jprovo.bsky.social•230 days ago

ingezv.bsky.social•229 days ago

Please, US people, please stop this nightmare. Vote for Biden. I'm begging you. Don't turn your country into hell.

ingezv.bsky.social•221 days ago

Change that, vote who ever isthe new democrat candidate.

hedwigowlett.bsky.social•228 days ago

And you think Biden will save you from Project 2025? Hun, look at the picture, because this is how it works.

proudanselmo.bsky.social•228 days ago

What point do you think you're making?

ingezv.bsky.social•228 days ago

I haven't seen this before. I hope it doesn't work that way. In that case you really do not have a choice 😒. I'm so very worried for the people in the US right now.

stevesilberman.bsky.social•228 days ago

No, that person is an ignoramus. Blocked immediately.

ingezv.bsky.social•228 days ago

Thank the God for that.

freevirgilhaas.bsky.social•228 days ago

Sorry to disappoint, but Steve Silberman is an ignoramus who I'm probably going to block immediately.

The ratchet effect is very real and it's why US politics has been moving to the right since Nixon, to the point that now what we call 'centrism' is what the rest of the world calls the right.

" He will unleash not just the Department of Justice, but the IRS, the DHS, it’ll be permitting. And he wants to be able to control government…as a tool of his corrupt vision of America.. They are playing for keeps, and their idea of keeps is to undermine democracy for a generation or more.”

Won't convince MAGA. Too partisan.

catzies.bsky.social•230 days ago

People magazine just might.

jmegraw.bsky.social•230 days ago

I wish People en español would follow suit

aazzuy2.bsky.social•226 days ago

Email em? Ask em? Worst they could say is no

jmegraw.bsky.social•226 days ago

Kyler Alvord, the editor and writer of the piece, responded today and said he had pitched the idea to People en Español. He pointed out that although they do form part of the same company, they are largely independent of each other, vamos a ver!

aazzuy2.bsky.social•226 days ago

Okay can you follow up with that in a few days to see if they responded to the pitch or however long it takes? I appreciate you doing that

jmegraw.bsky.social•226 days ago

Definitely, although I don't expect them to give me personal updates, I'll be watching and certainly sharing

jmegraw.bsky.social•226 days ago

Thank you, I did! I'll share if the editor responds and/or they publish a Spanish version

dfwsam.bsky.social•197 days ago

“In an effort to stop ‘woke culture warriors,’ Project 2025 demands that the terms abortion, reproductive health and reproductive rights be deleted from ‘every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.’”

Just nuke it from orbit, to be sure.🤯

theblueacorn.bsky.social•230 days ago

What did Trump say about Q anon? “Well, I don't know much about the movement other than I understand that they like me very much, which I appreciate,"

soshar.dess.ga•226 days ago

also kind of well explained in a previous episode of john oliver's last week tonight

People mag is going to reach a bunch of people who don't otherwise pay attention to politics.

catzies.bsky.social•230 days ago

I'm really impressed. This is a very good editorial decision.

The issue will be in hair and nail salons, doctors' offices, and auto service customer lounges for months. Lots of people who won't buy it will read it when it's free.

quipoffools.bsky.social•224 days ago

NYT wishes it had the reach of People magazine. 😼

jbonbluesky.bsky.social•230 days ago

If Project 2025 alarms you, just wait until you see what Republicans have planned for 2027. 😳

emmogene.bsky.social•225 days ago

SMH: We're at the point when People magazine has more relevance and gravitas than the New York Times.
