John,

Meta (Facebook & Instagram) is blocking the spread of posts about Project 2025, Trump allies’ plan to reshape the U.S. under a Christian authoritarian dictatorship. Posts that take off before Meta catches them are marked with a disclaimer about “false information.”

 

This is really bad. The posts are accurate! Some of them even include the corresponding page numbers in Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership, the 900-page blueprint to pull off their plan.

 

Zuckerberg’s company is defending the move by claiming that the information has been reviewed by independent fact checkers. But the fact checker they’re using is a conservative-owned “news” site!

 

It’s called The Dispatch, and its website very clearly states that its focus is “informed conservative analysis.” Meta might as well use Marjorie Taylor Greene as a fact checker.

 

John, if your party’s agenda for the country is so extreme that you have to get social media behemoths to lie about it for you, you shouldn’t be anywhere near the levers of power that control the future for American families.

The Dispatch is using the same tactics that the Heritage Foundation has rolled out to claim Democrats are lying about what’s inside this anti-democracy agenda.

 

Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership is riddled with legal jargon and religious references. 

 

Instead of outright stating that they plan to end same-sex marriage, the authors wrote that marriage should be “biblically based” (p.481) and “all children have a right to be raised by the men and women who conceived them” (p.489).

 

Instead of stating that they want to punish single moms, they say that the next administration will end policies that could be considered “subsidizing single-motherhood” (p.451) and prioritize “stable” two-parent households. There are policies in Project 2025 that would have made it more difficult (if not impossible) to adopt my sons, too.

 

The Dispatch and Meta are marking information about Project 2025 as “fake news” because the posts don’t directly quote these asinine, intentionally-vague paragraphs.

 

John, this isn't just a threat in November. It’s a threat RIGHT NOW.

On Monday, a legal group connected to Project 2025 filed a lawsuit they believe will overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court case that gave me and every other gay American the right to marry who we choose.

 

The head of this group, Mat Staver, is also a contributor to The Federalist Society, the right-wing organization that spent almost 40 years working to install extremists on the Supreme Court. Believe him when he says this lawsuit has the power to end same-sex marriage.

 

We need to flip the House this year, but we also need to give LGBTQ+ Americans more representation in Congress. Will you help me get there so I can codify marriage rights into law and stop this assault on equality?

Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned us just last month that the far-right justices were coming after Obergefell. Clearly, they aren’t waiting until 2025 to start. 

 

We can’t afford to let Mike Simpson, a man who is an outspoken opponent of my rights, stay in Congress this year.

David Roth is a single, gay dad running for Idaho’s Second Congressional District. We’re going up against a GOP incumbent who has been in this seat for 25 years. It’s time for change in Idaho, and our grassroots campaign is building on the momentum that began in David’s race for U.S. Senate last cycle. The GOP is not planning to defend this seat, so we plan to take it from them and help Democrats retake the House majority next year. We’d love your support to build a solid campaign to bring progress to Idaho and the country.
