What does the election of Donald Trump mean for America and the world? And what can we do about it?
This is not the post-election episode I’d hoped to do. I imagined I’d be doing an episode where I talked through the progressive ideals that didn’t make their way into the Harris campaign, and strategies + tactics we could use to hold the Harris administration accountable to them. Alas.
There are so many takes and so much finger-pointing; I’m not here to add to any of that. I’m here to reflect on what the election might mean for near- and longer-term futures, and where we go from here. How do we re-orient, what actions do we need to take to minimize harm and promote mutual aid?
