Concerned with provisions of Project 2025 that could criminalize pornography, a group of porn stars is jumping into the 2024 election, launching “Hands Off My Porn” and purchasing $100,000 in ads in swing states to spread their message.
“We must fight back against this ultra-conservative agenda that is rooted in religious conservatism, fearmongering, and the suppression of women’s rights,” Casey Calvert, one of the porn stars involved with the effort, wrote alongside the announcement of the ads.
Twenty porn stars came together to found Hands Off My Porn, and they are placing the ads on sites that show explicit content in Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Michigan, warning users about Project 2025’s drive to criminalize porn.
The ads will direct people to the Hands Off My Porn website, where they can watch testimonials about Project 2025’s dangers.
“This ‘180-day playbook’ for the next Trump Administration puts the anti-porn agenda front and center – on page 5 of this nearly 1000-page document that’s endorsed by The Heritage Foundation, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the Koch Brothers, and hundreds of conservative organizations,” the group writes online.
Hands Off My Porn is referencing the foreword written by Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, who calls for pornography to be “outlawed.”
“It has no claim to First Amendment protection,” he writes. “Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned…telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.”
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s something deeper going on here. Project 2025 is just another excuse to expand government power. First, it’s porn, and next, it’s your personal data, your online presence, everything. If we’re letting them decide what you can and can’t watch, what’s next? They’ll have cameras in every room, and you’ll have to sign your allegiance to the ‘morality police.’ And, of course, Big Tech and the government will happily shake hands on this deal.

how about we let adults make their own choices? This is classic big government overreach, wrapped up in some holier-than-thou packaging. If someone wants to watch porn, that’s their business. Project 2025 is just another scheme to control us, as if they haven’t done enough damage already. Both parties are in bed with corporations and the media—they only care about power and profit, not ‘protecting’ anyone. Don’t let them fool you
It’s the same old hypocrisy. They’ll preach ‘freedom’ and ‘small government’ until they find something that doesn’t fit their narrative, and then suddenly they’re all about cracking down. Meanwhile, politicians will be keeping their own dirty little secrets behind closed doors. The GOP loves to rally against ‘degeneracy,’ but they’re the ones pocketing donations from corporations with questionable morals. And on the other side? The Dems will probably ignore this whole thing because they’re too busy figuring out new ways to spend us into oblivion.

Another ‘moral’ crusade from the folks who swear they’re all about ‘freedom’ until someone wants to do something they personally don’t like. I can’t wait to see how they’ll enforce this one. Maybe they’ll bring in the NSA for a few more taxpayer-funded surveillance gigs? Let’s be honest, none of this is about ‘protecting’ anyone; it’s about control. They'll keep playing whack-a-mole with ‘the porn problem’ while corporations loot the country and take home billions. But yeah, go ahead, waste time criminalizing porn. Makes total sense.
Not that I’m shocked, but this whole Hands Off My Porn thing is another sign of how far we’ve fallen. But let’s not forget, the folks pushing Project 2025 are the same ones who claim to be about ‘freedom,’ while they’re busy cozying up with corporate lobbyists. The real issue here isn’t porn, but how we’ve let corporate greed and political ambition erode our values. Our society’s lost its moral compass, and these so-called ‘leaders’ are just stoking the flames of chaos to keep us all distracted
The GOP’s waging another culture war while ignoring that people can barely afford rent, and the Dems are off spending like it’s Monopoly money. I’d say this is laughable if it weren’t so sad. They’re so out of touch. Both sides are lost in their little ideological bubbles. And here’s the kicker—while they fight over who’s more ‘moral,’ regular folks are the ones caught in the crossfire. It’s like they all forgot that we’re the ones dealing with the fallout of their culture wars and failed policies
