    A Walton Family Foundation spokesperson provided a statement explaining that its grant “supports work to highlight initiatives connecting young people to careers and jobs earlier in their K-12 schooling experience.”

    Imagine that, the Waltons promoting child labor.

    Has anyone noticed that the term “liberal” is being thrown around a lot and “progressive” is actively ignored?

      Because they want to fan the confusion between economically liberal and socially liberal. It’s probably done on purpose.

      Because they know that “progressive” has a nice ring to it that makes it pretty plain what the associated values are. Everyone understands what “progress” means, and it’s generally got a positive connotation.

      But “liberal” sounds like someone who abuses their freedom overmuch. It has been turned into a dirty word.

    The Pied Piper strat at play once more… I know I’ve said before, in connection with Project 2025, that it wouldn’t surprise me if liberals were Pied Piper-ing that nightmare playbook into place JUST to try and cudgel people away from proper socialist progression. And what links do we find…

    The Hewlett Foundation and the Omidyar Network are heavyweight philanthropic organizations that have long been considered bastions of liberalism.

    …So why are they donating to a group tied to 2025?
