    Happy Hour 180 - Understanding The Trump Win And The Path Forward

    At this early stage, understanding how and why America chose to re-elect Donald Trump is beyond anyone's reach - it will take years to analyze both the prelude and the eventual aftermath. For now, at Progress Texas we are preparing for the next step: the 2025 Texas Legislature will feature an even more entrenched and power-drunk Republican majority. We gathered most of the crew for this one to share our thoughts on the situation, what needs to be addressed in Texas, and what the immediate path forward may hold. One thing's certain: our work is impossible without YOUR help. If you find yourself motivated to elevate your activism and resistance as the second Trump term looms, we'd love to meet you - please consider supporting us by grabbing a ticket for one of our upcoming holiday parties in Austin and Dallas!
