Trump talked extensively about denoting antifa, which is not an organization and the right cannot define, a “terrorist organization” during his first term, so it’s hard to see how this wouldn’t result in making it possible to destroy every vaguely left-aligned nonprofits.
The House is set to vote Tuesday on a bill that would let the administration destroy nonprofits it claims support terrorism.

I haven't seen a single "we have to understand the concerns of Trump voters" take reckons with the fact that a huge percentage of their concerns are based on false information. You cannot "address" a concern about a fake thing!
This is how I feel discussing inflation.
MAGA person: Biden doesn't care about bread and butter issues like inflation.
Me: He signed the Inflation Reduction Act and we have lowest inflation among OECD.
MAGA person: But what about inflation?!

FYI for anyone seeing the Decision Desk HQ map purporting to show Harris leading the popular vote: that’s based on what has to be a massive data entry error in CA. They’re showing more votes cast in CA than people who live in the state.

The Orban model (which Trump explicitly embraces) is exactly what we have to guard against
The way Putinist/Orbanist government works is to use xenophobia to elect a strongman who directs the spoils of government to business cronies, who use their wealth to dominate media and ensure reelection. This may be the system that is going to start taking shape in America now.

Anyway, I have a lot of thoughts today and I don't think I need to add my garbage processing to the timeline so I am going to reiterate something I have said all along: Local organizing gets the goods, look to your community, build connections with the people around you.
