During his first 6 weeks in power, #Trump & his appointees have torn down many of the barriers that have long existed between the White House & the #DOJ to prevent political #interference in the impartial application of #justice & ensure the #independence of federal #law enforcement agencies.
But Trump, who was 2X indicted by the DOJ, has long viewed the agency as the center of “deep state” resistance to him.
“Unfortunately in recent years, a corrupt group of hacks & radicals within the ranks of the American government obliterated the trust & good will built up over generations,” #Trump told an audience made up of supporters & law enforcement ofcls. “They weaponized the vast powers of our intelligence & law enforcement agencies to try & thwart the will of the American people.”
OF COURSE as soon as I typed a request I immediately found some sites:
https://beautifultrouble.org/toolbox/tool/guerrilla-projection

https://blog.witness.org/2015/03/video-projections-illuminator-art-collective/
If anyone wants to share their own tips and hints, that's still awesome, though possibly not necessary now that I found some info (above).
Original message below (no longer relevant):
Just out of random curiosity: does anyone on #mastodon who knows about such things feel like writing an explainer for how to prepare, deploy, and maybe disappear after projection-style street art? Like projecting "Yay America" on the Washington Monument, or "Hi Mom" on the wall of the local city hall, that sort of thing?
What equipment does one need? What software? How to set it up and power it? These are questions certain people might have.
(A quick DDG search didn't show me anything except generic "how to use projector" sites so far, but I'd also be happy with a link to a site with info about this; I'll keep searching, and if I find things I"ll replace this message with links to what I find).
Other defendants are similarly arguing they should be absolved of other alleged crimes, such as illegal gun possession and child pornography, discovered during Jan. 6 investigations. At least one defendant has died in a post-pardon altercation with police.
If you know of a #projection connection that's missing from the poster, please let me know! I would like to expand it at some point.
(Also it's free to download and if anyone's ever printed it out in the last couple of years I'd be keen to know!)

I think it's abundantly clear now that those who thump their chests re "waste, fraud, and abuse" in the govt, are projecting their own inefficient, wasteful and fraudulent management skills in the same way that those who thump their chests re drag queens and pedophiles, etc. are projecting their own predatory and creepy behaviors.
Also HOW much time & tax $s have Musk, Trump, Project2025 wasted to date?
Good point by (@mmasnick) on the #Musk attack on the #USAID guide to fighting #disinformation. Worth highlighting because it spotlights a pattern common to other #Trumpist actions.

"Musk transforms a guide about fighting disinformation through education into supposed evidence of government censorship. The irony would be comical if it weren’t so dangerous. The actual guide explicitly warns against censorship…It’s a handbook for promoting more speech and better information, not less. Yet Musk and his followers, in an act of meta-disinformation, completely invert its message to fit their “deep state censorship” narrative. Anyone can verify this — the guide is publicly available. But just as with the Twitter Files, Musk knows his audience won’t read the primary sources. They’ll simply amplify his misleading interpretation, creating another example of the very disinformation the guide warns against."

Part of the #twittermigration, not especially engaged on there but good to see so many migrate, after all "there are other worlds than these". (Just hope we're good to those of you already here).
