The challenge of this moment is to join, once again, with people, including Democrats, who hold diverse views and politics in order to further build on the successes of the No Kings Day action on October 18.
While they no doubt will take many forms and pivot around different issues, the political imperative is clear — to further broaden and deepen the anti-MAGA, anti-Trump coalition. Big tent not small tent politics are in order.It is in this context that the broad, non sectarian left and progressive movements should continue to bring their initiative, flexibility, and political understanding.

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.
