We need an opposing plan to counter Project 2025. Should reflect coherent, measured, stiff, resourced actions & outcomes. Proactive rather than merely reactive. Leverage "cancel culture economics".

Yes. And the nations 23 million state and federal workers can form a strong backbone of that plan.

We needed it a year ago so that we could be as up to speed as they were. We missed the boat I fear.

islandgial95.bsky.social•141 days ago

Plan should refrain from using agency acronyms, esp. those that are important but in great contentionto avoid immediate rejection. Use language that will resonate with the greater population. Disseminate via social media but also via material. Must be palatable to be easily digested and assimilated

islandgial95.bsky.social•141 days ago

*but also via printed material*

"We need an opposing plan to counter Project 2025."

We have it already: the United States Constitution.

earthlamb.bsky.social•141 days ago

How about trying some of these tactics -

laserpony.bsky.social•141 days ago

also, we had Project 2025 for 20 months before it was implemented folks. yo.

yakyogi.bsky.social•141 days ago

How does that help us recently? Musk and his staff break multiple laws daily. Federal employees tried to stop them but was threatened with charges from US. Attorneys in Washington.

Start protesting POWs!
(Places Of Worship)

Burn the bibles!
In huge piles!

No more tithes!

Separation of church & state!

npatry.bsky.social•141 days ago

Let’s publish NOW the names and address of all the ‘pardoned’ J6 convicts so all Americans know who and where they are so we can keep an eye on them. Am sure they would applaud the publicity.

onelane.org•141 days ago

You mean, the ones that are still alive or not re-imprisoned already for new crimes?

bobborgeson.bsky.social•141 days ago

What we are learning is that the constitution requires a certain amount of good will on the part of all participants.

la2kb.bsky.social•141 days ago

Yes, if only the Republicans would follow it. Unfortunately, one of the Koch brothers' goals was to convene a new Constitutional Convention and rewrite what is there to the liking of con-servatives

cb-2025.bsky.social•141 days ago

Then use it. Block Republican agenda until Musk is out and Trump is checked.

campsnash.bsky.social•141 days ago

“Chip in $5 the price of a cup coffee so we can make a plan to oppose 2025. Can I count of you?”

randomminutia.bsky.social•141 days ago

Needs some updates, though. Let’s Co-Opt and Hijack the Right’s Messaging on a Constitutional Convention and show up in droves to overturn Citizens United, Etc.

randomminutia.bsky.social•141 days ago

“Oh. You WANT a Constitutional Convention? Okay! BRING IT!”

jacobidumm.bsky.social•141 days ago

You're going to need one that will be enacted, however.

kxknauss.bsky.social•141 days ago

In 1933 German left were fighting amongst themselves and unable to mount a successful opposition. LEARN.

schmidt-sky1961.bsky.social•141 days ago

The courts are no longer effective

scottbails13.bsky.social•141 days ago

Unfortunately it's worthless if it's not defended

wescontreras.com•141 days ago

Exactly. The constitution itself isn't going to leap out of the Archives Building and papercut Republicans until they stop.

Actual people have to do things to stop them.

marilynmaskell.bsky.social•141 days ago

Yes, indeed. And we need to use it against them now.

Need something simpler for everyone to understand. Hate to say that, but I believe it’s true.

madoccassia.bsky.social•141 days ago

The Constitution is a mission statement, not an operational strategy.

freedomenow.bsky.social•141 days ago

Ya, but that only works where the entire system created to support the Constitution hasn’t been undermined.

3chordziggy.bsky.social•141 days ago

We've had plans for years. 13th Amendment. New Deal. Civil Rights Act. etc. Seems like a plurality of voting Americans don't want that. You can't force liberal ideals on people, but you CAN force fascist systems onto people. Amerika has chosen, for the worse it seems.

robinmcstayesq.bsky.social•141 days ago

Agreed, but it should have been due in July 2024. We could have called it the Democratic Platform

strengthandpower.bsky.social•141 days ago

Please read Prof Tim Snyder and the need for a people’s cabinet. A shadow cabinet of specific officials who give an alternative action for each of these insanities. Just as you said, actions and outcomes. Not press releases but live or taped podcasts, you tube, tv, out in the street.

rhymeswithcamera.bsky.social•141 days ago

You are only thinking of this now? Too little too late, bud

janerabbit.bsky.social•141 days ago

not helpful

rhymeswithcamera.bsky.social•141 days ago

Not my job to make you feel better. You know who’s really not being helpful right now? Democratic “leaders”

janerabbit.bsky.social•141 days ago

I'm not concerned about feeling better. I'm concerned about doing what's helpful. It's war. Everything other than that is distraction. Imho. I'm writing my senators and congressman several times a day with suggestions and appreciation for what they are doing. Looking for what else to *do*.

ddrae.bsky.social•141 days ago

First you need to get your country back. #felon4547

loubarr.bsky.social•141 days ago

Gee, would thought the Dem "leaders" would have spent some time between Nov 5 and Jan 20 doing that,rather than figuring out how to cooperate

melshade.bsky.social•141 days ago

We definitely need a plan! I don’t see anything being done to the level it needs to be to stop this

ambassadorkong.bsky.social•141 days ago

We aren't going to make it four years. The plan should be to remove the cancer from our institutions. Revolution should be on the menu.

cookingtheresa.bsky.social•141 days ago

UN Bill of Rights

Plain English. Simple to understand.

pangilinan.bsky.social•141 days ago

Where are all the billionaires that stand against project 2025??

fight4peace.bsky.social•141 days ago

I agree. Something to look forward to after this chaos is over. How will we rebuild?

wampeningmama.bsky.social•141 days ago

We needed this plan a year ago. It’s not like project 2025 was stashed in the bin behind the locked cellar door with a beware of leopard sign.

seek2find.bsky.social•141 days ago

True but not really helpful at this point. Ideas on moving forward?

wampeningmama.bsky.social•141 days ago

Well, at the moment, there’s so much shit shrapnel flying around and everyone is desperately swinging flyswatters to try and knock it down This is intentional, of course. While we’re opposing everything we can, we should also be planning for their potential moves when their initial efforts /1

seek2find.bsky.social•140 days ago

I am simply encouraging people to have a purpose in a post - “to inform” if new information being provided or “to call for action” with suggestions or resources or “to ask” a question if information is needed. No battle was ever one by simple reiterating what’s happening. IMHO

seek2find.bsky.social•140 days ago

I understand. However every post that adds to the ongoing commentary on the problems without either adding new information or suggesting action is adding little to no value and just takes time for others to read. We are outraged and what’s happening is nuts.

wampeningmama.bsky.social•141 days ago

Run aground on the legal hedges that most programs have, which is already happening. It won’t slow them down for long and they certainly have more things planned. If we take a breath when some of their shit grinds to a halt but doesn’t go away, we’ll be wrong footed by the next thing. /2

wampeningmama.bsky.social•141 days ago

Long winded way of saying don’t get so caught up in the immediate stuff that we remain strictly reactive. There are no spoken or unspoken standards anymore and the pillagers have no shame to activate. They will never give up.

rhymeswithcamera.bsky.social•141 days ago

Exactly

rainekay.bsky.social•141 days ago

Exactly. It’s completely f’ing pointless now. The time for that was 20 years ago. This has been brewing since the schools were segregated, but we just refused to see it and now we’re all f’d.

jumbods64.bsky.social•141 days ago

So you're gonna give up?...

rainekay.bsky.social•141 days ago

Would that make you happy? Fuck off

jumbods64.bsky.social•140 days ago

No!! Sorry that it came across like that. I want to know what your plan is

jonathanscherch.bsky.social•140 days ago

No worries. Times like this require that we all exercise compassion. Such is our secret power.

Our congressional leaders, of both sides, should sit / make innovative plan that unifies concerns, harmonizes efforts, garners tremendous resources akin to election support -- a Dem & GOP Marshall Plan.

timmaynardguitar.bsky.social•141 days ago

That opposing plan already exists. It’s called adulthood.

cc-lilgiraffeco.bsky.social•141 days ago

It’s cashed storming the castle and reviving these traitors with force. That is the only thing that will work. Courts take too long and he doesn’t care about movements. Our armed forces need to protect us from these domestic terrorists. Because by March it will be too late.
