I Told You So: The Project 2025 Receipts (Part 1)

In the fall of 2024, I recorded 9 episodes breaking down Project 2025 — what it planned to do to Black Americans, minorities, working people, and anyone without power or protection. I did it while recovering from COVID. The election happened. And everything I documented is now actively being carried out.This is Part 1. Eight policy areas. Eight warnings. Eight receipts.We cover DEI and discrimination, healthcare and abortion, wages and overtime, child labor, climate and the environment, education, the federal workforce and Schedule F, and making ends meet — comparing what Project 2025 said it would do with what has actually happened since January 20, 2025.This isn't opinion. This is documentation.Part 2 drops next — the personal reflection on what it cost to record these warnings, what it means to watch them come true, and what we do now.Open-mindedness is personal growth.Timestamps00:00 — Disclaimer01:27 — The Mission03:02 — Brief Context03:48 — The Receipts Begin04:00 — Receipt 1: DEI & Discrimination05:30 — Receipt 2: Healthcare & Abortion06:50 — Receipt 3: Wages & Overtime07:46 — Receipt 4: Child Labor08:45 — Receipt 5: Climate & the Environment10:22 — Receipt 6: Education11:50 — Receipt 7: Federal Workforce & Schedule F13:02 — Receipt 8: Making Ends Meet14:55 — Close / Part 2 PreviewProject 2025, Project 2025 explained, Project 2025 receipts, what is Project 2025, Project 2025 and Black Americans, DEI eliminated, DEI executive order, Schedule F reinstated, overtime pay reversed, child labor laws, NOAA cuts, EPA environmental justice, Head Start funding, SNAP work requirements, Title IX redefined, LGBTQ discrimination, federal workforce cuts, racism and discrimination podcast, Black podcast, afternoon coffee break, Darren Watts, discrimination podcast, racism podcast Indianapolis, political accountability podcast, Project 2025 predictions came true, what happened after the election, Trump executive orders explained, minority rights 2025,
