I’m supposed to believe both that trained and paid journalists couldn’t see through Project 2025 spin but also they’re the people best positioned to tell me what’s happening and how I should feel. Why? They failed at their jobs by their own admission.

Begging you to talk to every random you know who has been ignoring this - do not trust these people, do not let your kids be on a list, there are no good intentions here. The best case scenario is chaos and interference with your family; the worst is murdered kids. Also vaccines don’t cause autism.
RFK Jr. is working to get children with autism into a federal program that compensates people for alleged vaccine injuries.

Even if it’s not in this exact way, your information has most definitely been compromised by DOGE activities. The best time to put a security freeze on your credit was January 19, 2025; the second-best time is now.
The report “cites numerous disclosures from whistleblowers, including one who said a worst-case scenario could involve having to re-issue SSNs to everyone in the country.”

Assuming the Magnificent Seven receive waivers, it seems likely to put downward pressure on wages for most Americans and lead to offshoring and/or generally smaller, slower projects (i.e., fewer jobs for people living in the US) at midsize/small firms, as well as startups.
“We need workers, we need great workers, and this pretty much ensures that that’s what’s gonna happen,” says Trump while signing an anti-skilled-worker proclamation that will ensure the literal opposite.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.
