Eu comprei. Porque é o tipo de #mala #especial que se não #comprar no #início da estação, desaparece e deixa de ter #Markjacob

#MarkJacob: “ #Project2025 author #RussellVought, an enemy of #theConstitution's system of #separationofpowers, was confirmed by the #GOP -run Senate as head of the Office of Management and Budget. Project 2025 author #BrendanCarr is now #FCC chair. #TomHoman is “#borderczar.” Surprise.. 4/4🧵”

#MarkJacob: “This naive #USAToday “fact check” giving #tRump distance from #Project2025 was such a gift to the #fascists that it’s now featured prominently on the Project 2025 homepage. 2/4🧵”

#MarkJacob: “This #Politico story from last October shows how easy it is to launder lies through the press. It claimed 47 would ban anyone tied to #Project2025 from a job in a second #tRump admin.
“Clearly people working on #Project2025 are blacklisted,” said an unidentified 47 insider. 1/4🧵”

I never used the app.
I used Democracy a lot though.

Are mainstream media afraid of a vindictive Trump? We need aggressive journalism, not "anticipatory obedience."

@markjacob.bsky.social posted a great video today on that other site, you know the one, asking voters to "vote against all Republicans."

PS: Will try to locate that video, or perhaps he'll post it here soon?

For now:
