So who is writing our answer to Project 2025?

If they can do it, so can we.
First up, expand SCOTUS.
Fire everyone hired under Trump.
Prosecute the ICE agents who have broken the law.
Clean the stench out of the CDC and NIH and make them where they can be overseen but not fucked with.
What else?

And recover all the money Trump and his cronies stole.

And prosecute everyone in this administration and DOGE.

Get a majority in the field and the voting booth. Reestablish the constitution. Establish confidence in the founders and what they founded.

8. Depends on whether you want to win, or just feel good about bashing GOPers. I choose the former.

10. We can't win on bashing them alone

But there’s plenty of room for criticism. We need to run on policies and issues, but we also need to stand up and sound the alarm for people to put the fire out.

Why not do both? Why not run on accountability in addition to issues?

5. Reform voting districts, outlaw gerrymanders (this law was passed in 1935 & not updated since then.)

Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Pass laws outlawing money in political campaigns etc. Tell the Supreme Court that laws passed by Congress regarding election and Civil Rights are beyond their purview. Lots more can be done but that’s a start.

9. REVERSE EVERYTHING TRUMP HAS DONE, for starters...

Seems a new Democratic President could effectively shut down ICE by pulling their funds through executive action---
and reassigning all the current agents now working for ICE who are actually employed by other government agencies,
back to their original agencies.... keeping only a skeleton force to apprehend the actual 'criminals',
instead of arresting grandma's and husbands and wives of American citizens
because they may have had a speeding ticket in 2007 or whatever...
