Maximillian Alvarez:

"Donald Trump is headed back to the White House in two months, and with the news this week that the GOP has won a majority in the House of Representatives, the fully MAGAfied Republican Party will effectively control all three branches of government, the executive, the legislature, and the judiciary."

[snip]

"But between Trump's own babbling contradictory statements and a corporate, independent, and social media ecosystem that is just overflowing with conjecture, doomerism, misinformation, propaganda, and partisan hackery, it can be really difficult to know just what exactly is coming down the pike, how we should be preparing for it, and how we can fight it.
So what are we facing, really?
How do we get ready for what's coming?
What tools do we need to parse fact from fiction in this critical moment when talk is everywhere but truth is in short supply?
There's a lot of sound and fury out there, and it's only going to get louder and more confusing as we rumble onward into the dark unknown of the next four years.

And we need to get our heads and hearts right for the fight ahead.
We need to have a clear-eyed understanding of the political terrain that we're actually on and the media ecosystem that we're operating in, both of which are decidedly different today compared to what they were in 2016 when Trump was first elected.

And that's exactly why I could not be more excited for today's livestream, where we're going to talk to three brilliant independent media makers who have so much to teach us about how to fight and win on that terrain."
