    How Project 2025 Will Ruin Your Life with Andra Watkins, bestselling author.
    Jul 18 2024
    From the Freedom Over Fascism Archives: Stephanie speaks with Andra Watkins, author of the substack "How Project 2025 Will Ruin Your Life." We spoke earlier in the year about the coded Christian Nationalist language in Project 2025. Even with all the craziness over the democratic ticket, we need to be talking about Republican plans for governing, which is Project 2025. Don't talk about JD Vance's hypocrisy. Tell everyone you know about Project 2025.

  • Christian Nationalism, Violence, and the Right with Dr. Heidi Beirich, Co-Founder Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (E 59)

    Christian Nationalism, Violence, and the Right with Dr. Heidi Beirich, Co-Founder Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (E 59)
    Jun 20 2024
    Stephanie chats with Dr. Heidi Beirich, the co-founder and chief strategy officer for Global Project Against Hate and Extremism. The authoritarian movements across the world share underlying discriminatory ideologies, and too often have been exported from the U.S. The consequence of the growth in these movements is violence and the dangerous integration of bigoted and racist ideas into societal discourse, government policies, and political platforms. Increasingly, as far-right extremist movements have gained in strength, established taboos around far-right extremism have collapsed as mainstream political parties cooperate with extremists once considered out of bounds.

    This week we look at how Project 2025’s influence and agenda is playing out across the MAGA-captured United States, as well as Project 2025’s massive assault on civil liberties across America.

  • Raising Arizona. And Michigan. And all 50 states. Charles Gaba, ACA Data Analyst and Democratic Activist

    Raising Arizona. And Michigan. And all 50 states. Charles Gaba, ACA Data Analyst and Democratic Activist
    Jun 5 2024
    Stephanie talks to Charles Gaba, an ACA data analyst and activist who started raising money for Dem candidates online in 2018. He operates a simple website, blue24.org with links to slates of Democratic candidates on Act Blue that makes it easy to donate to several candidates at a time, or just one or two. In 2020, he raised a total of 6 million dollars for Democratic candidates and organizations. This year, he’s on pace to exceed that. By the end of May 2020, he had raised $303k, whereas by the end of May 2024 he’s raised $573k. T

    hat’s a 90% increase. Blue24.org is not a PAC, and Gaba doesn’t take a cut of the money he raises (although you can donate to him through the website). Gaba uses his 50k followers on Twitter and other platforms to raise money for federal and state legislative rates in all 50 states.

    You can follow him https://x.com/charles_gaba.
