Analysis Exposes Trumpian Project 2025 as ‘Far-Right Playbook for American Authoritarianism’: As former Republican U.S. President Donald Trump campaigns with openly fascist rhetoric, a research and advocacy group on Monday published an exposé of the Heritage Foundation-led 2025 Presidential Transition Project. Project 2025, as it is also known, builds on Heritage’s latest Mandate for Leadership, a series which since the Reagan administration has served as the right-wing think tank’s to-do list for the next Republican president. The Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE) put out a detailed analysis of Project 2025, which the group described as a “far-right playbook for American authoritarianism” and “a threat to a multiracial, diverse democracy.” [More]

68% of US Public Wants Gaza Cease-Fire: Poll: Nearly 70% of Americans think that Israel should call a cease-fire in its attack on Gaza, a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday has found. Around 68% of respondents answered that they agreed with the statement that “Israel should call a cease-fire and try to negotiate,” Reuters reported. When broken down by party, around half of Republicans and three-quarters of Democrats backed this view, meaning President Joe Biden is acting against the will of the majority of his party as he refuses to urge Israel to stop its assault. “The majority of Americans oppose this massacre of Palestinians in Gaza, so why is Biden still supporting it?” Justice Democrats asked on social media. [More]

Michael Steele nails it on progressives protesting Israel’s actions in Gaza. Don’t blame Tiktok: Young people are no longer buying the groupthink on Israel or neo-liberalism. Israel’s massacre in Gaza does not fool them. And it is not history by TikTok with no context. It is reality. [More]
