True story: 14 years ago I wrote one of the letters of recommendation Guillermo needed to get a visa so he could live and work in this country. And now here he is congratulating the party of mass deportations. What the fuck, Guillermo. What the fuck.

Donald Trump's Black Support Soared, Doubling in Wisconsin - Newsweek

‘"…the numbers for Black men in some of these swing states are just 5 to 7 points off the mark of what Harris needed to win. In a world where the Democrats spent months, not two weeks, talking to this community directly through targeted ads, we get a different outcome."

Meanwhile, exit polls show that Harris is down among other key groups, including women and Latino voters.’

Trump didn't significantly grow his coalition and he didn't have to since Harris lost a good chunk of Obama and Biden voters.

Democrats are going to blame non-voters. Fine.

But it's pretty clear Harris and Democrats in general bled support from Black voters, Latinos, Arabs, Muslims, young people, and others because of their pursuit of white conservatives and an economy people think sucks.

The "radicals" of the party like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib did just fine in comparison.

I even have some active projects there, but I don't care. I'd rather rebuild them from scratch than support people who support fascists.

We all receive information with drastically different levels of quality and trustworthiness.

A handful of billionaires control the flow of the world's information.

If we are to survive the next decade, those two facts need to be at the forefront of our activism.

I can't think of a better community to lead that initiative than right here on the Fediverse. We understand the tech that delivers info and the politics that drives it.

We must reach out to those who lack this specific knowledge.

with Trump willing to abrogate our NATO obligations, I fear Putin’s War in Ukraine may become a general European war. with Trump willing to give Netanyahu anything asked for, I fear a spreading of war in the Middle East. with Trump willing to abandon our commitments to RoK, I fear Kim may decide to try to do what his father & grandfather failed to accomplish: unite the two Koreas by force of arms.

these are going to be very dangerous times.
