Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you.

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.
And those who warned America about it were right.

![Is the action tangible, actionable, and detailed? Or intangible, abstract, and vague?
When [Trump] leaves the details vague, we, collectively, cannot help ourselves. We try to fill them in. But — if Trump’s past promises are any guide — intangibility is a pretty good indicator that a proposal is a less-than-pressing concern.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fvbdr5zqt7b74qllyg2vdit/bafkreibvgyxmsqaz6lk5lwbxd747jhmbphuj6j3zhwfyttnhvrkh53snva@jpeg)
![Does this action target the opposition in a way that may cause anticipatory obedience?
By targeting individual politicians, companies, civil servants, nonprofits, donors, media outlets, and journalists, [Trump] can cow hundreds or thousands of others into a more submissive and defensive posture.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fvbdr5zqt7b74qllyg2vdit/bafkreid7mpvpd6vghi3e2dbmkzcrkmden3lg5vvfan6ckt7affhn5dg7o4@jpeg)

We keep hearing about masculinity from the Zuckerbergs of the world-- this woman has shown more courage in this 60-second clip than any of the tech billionaires have shown in recent memory as they grovel at Trump's feet.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive.

These "swing seat" Republicans want to stay in office more than life itself. So when Trump runs up here saying he wants to get rid of our health care, BE LOUD ABOUT IT. Make them realize siding with Trump on this stuff will end their careers. We must be *effective* opposition!
