  3. Dr. Benjamin S. #Carson is someone, who I admire, because of his life trajectory.

    He was the 1st person in his family to go to college, & became a neurosurgeon.

    Despite all the prejudice against people who look like him in the #USA, he has persevered and excelled.

    He lost the 2016 Presidential Campaign, yet served as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Trump's 1st term.

    In 2nd term, he serves again under similar yet different role.

  8. Project 2025 co-opts both the “free speech” and the “freedom of religion” clauses of the First Amendment
    to justify subsidizing religious institutions,
    and to undermine protections against discrimination.

    The document’s text states
    “Our Constitution grants each of us the liberty to do not what we want, but what we ought.” (page 13).

    The first troubling example of this is an assertion that pornography should be outlawed and those who distribute it should be jailed.

    Despite extensive Supreme Court precedent to the contrary, the authors state boldly,
    without justification,
    that “it has no claim to First Amendment protection.” (page 5)

    Further, it is likely that the organizations behind Project 2025 would define pornography broadly,
    to include mere discussion of sexual orientation or gender.

    While not explicit about who determines what we “ought” do,
    the Project 2025 authors give clear indications.

    They assert that the building blocks of any healthy society are: “Marriage. Family. Work. Church. School. Volunteering.” (page 4)

    Not only may the government subsidize religious institutions but it must.

    In line with recent SCOTUS decision #Carson v #Makin,
    Project 2025’s text proposes that any government program providing subsidies or funding to any service organization must give those subsidies to religious institutions which provide such services. (page 754).

    The "Mandate for Leadership"’s authors insist that the First Amendment protects the right of religiously-affiliated organizations to discriminate against people based on sexual orientation
    and asks the next administration to forbid the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Civil Rights (OCR) and the Department of Labor’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) from pursuing any actions against religious institutions on this basis. (pages 493-495 and 585-587).

    Constraining government speech and protecting the right to wield religion as a justification for discrimination:

    The authors not only insist that religious colleges be allowed to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people
    but also that the government cannot report which schools do so and that past information about discrimination be scrubbed from the internet. (page 357).

    When the constitutionality of existing laws are challenged, the Office of the Solicitor General defends them in court.

    Project 2025 suggests the government should not defend anti-discrimination laws in many cases (pages 560-561).

    Project 2025 claims that the First Amendment forbids the government from monitoring disinformation and informing social media companies about it (pages 216 and 550).

    While the issue is raised regarding the intelligence agencies, there is no reason to think a ban would not be comprehensive.

    If such a ban were in place, it would prevent FEMA from posting information on false rumors about its hurricane relief and rebuttals to it.

    We see this worrisome potential because a court ruling already temporarily blocked much of the government,
    including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS),
    from reporting disinformation.

    While the Supreme Court reversed this ruling, it did so on technical grounds,
    so the threat remains.

    In an all-out dystopian attack on reality and in the name of free speech, Project 2025 proposes that many words or terms, including “gender,” “abortion,” and “reproductive health” be removed from all government rules, regulations, contracts, and grants. (page 4)

    Project 2025 opposes efforts to reform the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to break the partisan gridlock and allow it to enforce laws.

    It is entirely supportive of the idea that money is free speech. (Pages 861-866)

    After extensively singing the praises of free markets, the authors of Project 2025 felt it was necessary to assure us that
    “Economic freedom is not the only important freedom.”

    They add that “Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and the freedom to assemble also represent key components of the American promise.” (page 16).

    These three freedoms are in the First Amendment but they are not the only ones.

    The Amendment also guarantees freedom of the press and the right to petition the government.

    The document is noticeably silent as to whether those are also important but,
    based on their proposals,
    it seems clear that the authors of Project 2025 do not value freedom of the press.

    What Is Project 2025?
    Inside the Far-Right Plan Threatening Everything from the Word 'Gender' to Public Education

    Trump's allies started Project 2025 as a blueprint for marrying church and state at the highest levels of government if he's elected

    A sweeping proposal for how Donald Trump should handle a second term in office
    has sparked concern for its
    💥implications on the role of federal government
    💥and its calls to eliminate a number of basic human rights.

    The 2025 Presidential Transition Project,
    more commonly known as #Project2025, released a 900-page manifesto last year titled
    🔸"Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise." 🔸

    The policy guidebook
    — compiled by the conservative think tank 🔸Heritage Foundation 🔸in partnership with more than 100 other conservative organizations
    — lays out a far-right, Christian nationalist vision for America
    that would
    🔥corrode the separation of church and state,
    🔥replace nonpartisan government employees with Trump loyalists and
    🔥bolster the president's authority over independent agencies.

    Heritage Foundation President Kevin #Roberts,
    a rumored candidate for Trump's chief of staff in a second term,
    promoted his group's extreme positions during a July interview, saying,
    "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain 💥bloodless if the left allows it to be.💥"

    Shortly after Roberts' controversial interview,
    Trump attempted to distance himself from Project 2025,
    saying on Truth Social that he knows "nothing" about it and has "no idea who is behind it,"
    before adding that he disagrees with some of its propositions.

    While Project 2025 is not formally a part of Trump's campaign platform,
    it has been led and supported by several influential people in his orbit.

    The project's top leaders all worked in Trump's White House
    and a number of the manifesto's contributors also served in the Trump administration,
    including but not limited to former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben #Carson and imprisoned former trade adviser Peter #Navarro.

    Equally damaging to Trump's claim that he is unfamiliar with Project 2025 is that
    he worked closely with the 🔸Heritage Foundation🔸 when he was first elected president.

    He was provided a similar "Mandate for Leadership" back in 2016,
    and enacted nearly two-thirds of the group's proposals within his first year in office.

    The 🔸Heritage Foundation 🔸also reportedly played a behind-the-scenes role on Trump's presidential transition team
    and had a significant hand in staffing the administration.

    Olivia Troye, a former adviser to Mike Pence,
    called Trump's denial of Project 2025
    "ludicrous" in a CNN interview.

    “I think what this is telling us is that Donald Trump knows that what is written in this plan is so extreme that it is damaging to his possibility of getting elected,” she said
