We can’t forget that tens of millions — some voted for Kamala, others for Trump, some didn’t vote at all — will feel the negative weight of a second Trump term in one way or another. Such an understanding gives our struggle against Trump and Trumpism breadth. At the same time, we can’t forget that not everybody will feel the assault that is surely to come in the same way. Some will be the first targets of the storm, feel its heaviest weight, and should feel the support and solidarity of all of us. Such an understanding (and the practice that follows) will give our struggle unity. Both are necessary if we hope to see brighter days ahead. Two sides of a single coin.

I'm a long-time socialist and activist, but new to the blogging world. I hope to bring a different perspective on politics, sports, culture, and Marxism. Besides blogging, I also leave plenty of time for swimming, hiking, ESPN, music, reading, drinking good beer, and, not least, my family and friends. I wish I could play basketball, but my knees ruled out that possibility long ago.
While I currently reside in New York, my politically formative years were spent in Portland, Me. and Detroit during the 1970s and 1980s. I graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia (where I played basketball) and received a MA in economics from the University of Connecticut.
I was the national chairperson of the Communist Party, USA from 2000 until 2014 when I stepped down at the convention. In 2016 I resigned from the Communist Party two years later. We were no longer on the same page.
