tRump's Project 2025:(his plan to become the King/Dictator of the U.S.) 1. Ban Abortion Nationwide. 2. Seriously damage Civil Rights, cut LGBTQ+ protections. 3. Eliminate the Department of Education. 4. Strip DOJ of independent authority, to be used by tRump as an enforcer of his Anti-democracy, Anti-freedom, & Anti-people agenda. 5. End independence of FBI & DOJ. People with enough Money or Influence could be placed Above The Law at tRump's whim, making DOJ no more than a personal litigation & prosecution weapon for the President. 6. tRump will use Presidency to Punish whoever he wants, including Political Opponents. 7. End CISA, the agency fighting disinformation, compromising election security. GOP has criticised CISA for years. 8. Demonize Immigrants, damaging our Democracy & our founding principles as a country that welcomes all. 9. Cut Labor Protections & dozens of social services, impacting tens of millions of people. 10. There's much more, this is NO JOKE! Pieced together, Project 2025 is a roadmap for dismantling Democracy in favor of an Authoritarian Government, fueled by a Christian Nationalist agenda--promoting tRump to King & Dictator.(Reference: Democracy Docket, Matt Cohen, July 12, 24.)

"The New Colossus"(Poem inside Statue of Liberty pedestal by Emma Lazarus, credit to SKNY.IO)
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
