Secretary of State Marco Rubio (and Trump) would like us to believe that support for the national rights of the Palestian people is tantamount to supporting Hamas and terrorism. With this cynical and duplicitous sleight of hand, Rubio hopes to provide Netanyahu a legitimizing cover to kill or expel the remaining Palestian people from Gaza on the one hand and on the other throw the movement here for Palestian national rights into a defensive posture and, more broadly, confuse the American people.
We should continue to challenge this line of thinking and the deadly actions that follow wherever we can. Most of us don’t have a big megaphone, but we do have a voice and we do interact with people in our everyday life

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.
We are living in very scary times and the current White House makes it worse by the day.
