Summary

Despite disavowing Project 2025 during the campaign, Trump’s transition team is now using its extensive database of vetted conservative candidates to help fill over 4,000 government positions.

Project 2025, criticized for its extreme policy proposals and links to Trump’s first administration, created a “conservative LinkedIn” of 10,000 candidates.

While some contributors are being tapped for key roles, others face rejection due to controversial stances.

Democrats, who used Project 2025 in campaign attacks, are warning of its influence on Trump’s agenda and planning policy responses.

That's why organization matters, it has to be big and it has to be sudden. "Importing" labor isn't immediate.

More likely they'll use back to work legislation and deploy the police, but then they'll remember why we have labor protections.

If they're going to tear up the social contract and take everything away from us then they'll see violence.

These laws exist because workers fought actual battles. Actual battles, domestically. If it must happen again it will.

Either way, most people aren't willing to risk being fired/missing pay/being arrested because they need that money to pay rent and feed themselves. You can be as organized as you want, the system has pushed most of us to being wage slaves that have very little say in the matter. Even if importing labour isn't immediate, i wouldn't put it past governments to still let the economy collapse while they import labour just to prove a point about who makes the rules and has the control.

What role can systems of mutual aid among the organized play to address the risk and encourage continued participation (e.g. voluntary distribution of food to those who need it, temporary housing/boarding of siblings of the cause by those with room, etc.)?

I 100% don't have an answer, this is just what comes to mind first when I read this.

Thats what I thought too. If we cared about each other enough we'd be able to feed and house ourselves while we demand better, but a lot of us are divided (which is their goal) and so we'd rather blame minorities or whatever group your politician told you ro hate.

I mean sure we can roll over and die too, future generations won't look as kindly on that though
