| With an announcement on X earlier this week, "WE ARE DECLARING WAR ON THE DEEP STATE,” a conservative project aligned with both Donald Trump and Project 2025 — which is creating a roadmap to gut the government if Trump is re-elected — is preparing to "name and shame" civil servants they believe won't be loyal to the now convicted felon ex-president. According to a report from the Guardian, with financial assistance from the Heritage Foundation, "Project Sovereignty 2025" is going to make life miserable for government workers who will likely face threats of violence as accusations fly with their names attached. "The group behind the list is the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), which was founded in 2020 and describes its mission as 'working non-stop to expose the left’s secrets and hold Biden accountable'" reports the Guardian's Tess Owen, while also noting a profile by the New Yorker labeled AFF a "slime machine”. As Owen explained, AAF is moving past blocking President Joe Biden's political appointments to harass civil servants, with a "plan to publish dossiers on those non-public facing individuals, starting with the Department of Homeland Security, and expose them to scrutiny." RELATED: MAGA spy network of gov't workers feeds names of colleagues who might resist Trump: report The American Federation of Government Employees is waving red flags about the oncoming onslaught, calling it "an intimidation tactic to try to menace federal workers and sow fear”. "Some of AAF’s tactics in recent years offer some insight into what Project Sovereignty 2025 could look like. For example, they haven’t just targeted Biden’s high-profile nominees for cabinet and court seats. They’ve also gone after lesser-known political appointees, whose relative obscurity leaves them particularly vulnerable to smears, which are then published to the website bidennoms.com along with their photos," the Guardian's Owens reported. "The AAF also has a track record of disproportionately targeting women and people of color. According to the New Yorker in 2022, more than a third of the 29 candidates they’d singled out were people of color, and nearly 60% were women." |

Truly fukked up. This guy or any Republican can never be allowed to be president again. I will vote for Biden's dead corpse before I vote for Trump.
I mean....intimidating govt workers and making sure they're all in line is the playbook for almost all aspiring dictators.......Why govt workers tho?!?!didnt gulianni fukked himself by doing that?!!?
now he's a bum?
On a side note I get the concern for Biden's age. I want him to drop out but its insane how much shyt Trump gets a way with. In any other time this would be a major story and a major cause for concern. MAGA is openly trying to install a dictatorship and the media is silent.

And yet we continue to act like a 2nd Trump term will be no big deal. This guy has every intention to be an authoritarian.
