Find out about the candidates who want your vote! •Voters Information Pamphlet, from the Clatsop County Elections office •COINversations  Recorded in April. COIN is Consolidated Oregon Indivisible Network • AAUW's Candidates Forum, recorded by KMUN TRUMP 2.0 AND PROJECT 2025 A Roadmap to American Tyranny Check out the alarming Time magazine cover story and interview with Trump. Many Americans have no idea that Trump, the GOP, and Project 2025 want to dismantle, then destroy, our democracy. • Trump endorses the GOP's Project 2025 , as do the right-wing funders and promoters of this plan for an American dictatorship. Among their goals: Destroy independent news coverage, stack the courts, arrest dissenters, establish concentration camps; weaponize the Justice Department to engage in revenge politics, prohibit contraception, marriage equality, and other health and sexuality measures. They want a real life 1984, Brave New World, and The Handmaid's Tale, just like the actual authoritarian regimes around the world, including Iran, China, Russia, North Korea, Syria, and others.  • Another Substack newsletter about Project 2025 is How to Tell Your Friends About Project 2025. Basic Q&As show that many Americans are already suffering under Republican-led laws from Project 2025. INCO INSIGHTS “What is the precise moment, in the life of a country, when tyranny takes hold? It rarely happens in the instant; it arrives like twilight, and, at first, the eyes adjust.”   — Evan Osnos Indivisible defends democracy by opposing authoritarianism, bigotry, and corruption.
