Project Esther: The Right's Latest Blueprint for Authoritarian Takeover

Project Esther, spearheaded by The Heritage Foundation, creator of Project 2025, lays out the ways that antisemitism will be co-opted by the right to push through their xenophobic, nationalist, anti-DEI agenda. And a lot of it is already underway.

Habeas Corpus Has Already Been Suspended For Some

When habeas corpus, the right to challenge your detention, is suspended for some of us, that creates an opening for the writ to slowly be denied to more and more of us. While Stephen Miller announces that the Trump administration is "looking into it" and Kristi Noem can't seem to define it, we are all left to watch as the writ is blatantly eroded, despite judicial rulings and precedent.

'Big, Beautiful' Medicaid Cuts, Explained

The House GOP and Speaker Mike Johnson are fast-tracking a Big, Beautiful reconciliation bill that is over 1100 pages long onto the House floor. The bill would represent the largest cut to Medicaid since it was created in 1965 and could lead to loss of coverage for millions of Americans, in part due to new work requirements that would add onerous red tape to the program.

The Trans Military Ban Is Just The Beginning

The Supreme Court has allowed the ban on trans members of the military to go into effect for now, indicating that it will likely uphold the ban on the merits later. This is just the latest in a series of attacks against trans people by the Trump regime.

Trump Takes Aim At Sanctuary Cities

You might have missed a couple consequential Executive Orders last week in the mayhem of our current news cycle. But both orders from April 28th are important to understand the Project 2025 and Trump Administration ground game when it comes to local jurisdictions and sanctuary cities. They have a whole plan for punishing anyone who doesn't bend the knee.
Steps to take today:
1. Call Your AG (Blue State Defiance)
2. Protest (50501 or Tesla Takedown)
3. Call Your Federal Reps (5 Calls)
4. Follow Your Local Reps (Indivisible: A Practical Guide to Democracy On The Brink)

The FCC Won't Let Them Be

60 Minutes fights back while parent company Paramount tries to capitulate to Trump in order to push through a merger that will further concentrate the monopolization of our media industry. Trump's FCC chair Brendan Carr has been hounding every major media conglomerate (except Fox) to end DEI practices and curb negative reporting about Trump. A look at what's been happening in Hungary gives us a glimpse into our future, and it ain't lookin' pretty!
