Check In 14 July, Trump assassination attempt, defeating Project 2025

[tanaqui]

I did not expect (living in the UK) to wake up this morning to news of an assassination attempt on Trump.

It's too early to know what the political ramifications are going to be, but what we can do is continue on with the suggestions made in the excellent post by petra: Things to do other than vote.

Another source of ideas for action (there's some overlap with petra's post, but a few other points) is the Defeat Project 2025 site.

If you want to discuss what happened at the Trump rally (and the response to it) here, I'm happy to host that conversation, but I may freeze the discussion if it gets too fractious.

As I had a busy time and missed putting up a check in poll last weekend, here's this month's poll, behind the cut.
