Clearly others found my attempts to clarify it to be confusing too, so thanks for pointing out that it wasn’t the best title

Ah, I misunderstood what you were saying. I suppose I presumed too much background from others about how private school vouchers worked. The school districts is the one paying for the private school vouchers. Their costs were higher because of private voucher funding
Changed the title again to hopefully be more clear

Besides the obvious hypocrisy, one thing to get from this is that conservative leaders understand that you need to organize to win elections. Let’s make sure they’re out organized
Find how to register to vote for where you are
Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you and online
Write letters to voters in swing states or in competitive downballot races
It’s vote and build pressure. Doing only one of those will leave you in a bad spot
Not voting will leave you with republican who wants to bulldoze gaza and doesn’t care what anyone thinks. Who’s former white house advisor thoughts about the war was how gaza’s waterfront properties were economically valuable. Who’s planned response to peaceful protests is to deport US citizens protesting
He cannot let it go. I mean recently when he noticed people leaving his rally he felt the need to claim that they were not really leaving his rally
Which was promptly met with people posting videos of them leaving the actual building too while you can hear trump speaking in the background
Independent of the campaign there’s also a bluesky mirror someone set up but it doesn’t have video mirrored. I know bluesky has only just recently started rolling out video support, however
In the presidental debate, Harris laid traps such as a short mention about his crowd sizes to get him to rant about that instead of anything else. Trump with his insecurities, fell right for it and did terrible at the debate.
Now Trump is trying to claim that didn’t happen for the same reasons he fell for her traps in the first place
Also as a note in general:
As far as I can tell kamalahq account posts the same twitter posts to their threads account. So you can avoid going to twitter by just looking for the exact same post on threads
Crowd sizes for one thing
Reading through this, I’m not exactly sure what the call to action was? If people do want a call to action, here’s my suggestions:
Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you and online
Write letters to voters in swing states and close downballot races to increase turnout
The bigger point is media attention to bring his dodge of a 2nd debate back into memory. Telling it ahead of time gives you twice the coverage on it: news that you’re going to do it and coverage after the fact once you have done it
Plus you’ll get more people filming and looking out for the plane too
To save some people a click
The Harris campaign has arranged to have a small plane fly over Tuscaloosa during the game with a banner declaring, “Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate.”
[…]
The Harris campaign will also air a national ad during one of the most highly anticipated games of college football where she calls on the former president to meet her on the debate stage one more time.
“Winners never back down from a challenge,” the ad’s narrator says. “Champions know it’s any time, any place. But losers, they whine and waffle and take their ball home.”
For anyone interested in supporting those going up against the meat lobby, look into the Agriculture Fairness Aliance
Turn that into action! Volunteering is great to do as well
In fairness sometimes small tiny differences like that do turn out to be significant. But measurement error usually wins out most of the time
Help make sure the majority against it shows up at the polls
I’m not so sure it necessarily does that. I think sometimes people dooming about polls makes them think “what’s the point” and demotivates action
Certainly complacency is bad too though of course
Plus more scattered throughout. Here’s just some of the obvious quotes about it
They want to remove overtime pay for work from home
Allowing labor laws to be negotiable is going to be used by companies to given worse labor contracts to unions and is a blatant attempt to weaken their power
Here’s a decent article that includes some of the more conniving ways Project 2025 wants to gut overtime
