This fall’s Congressional elections should be coming into focus in a practical way for the broad democratic coalition battling Trump and his cross class coalitiion. A Democratic Party victory at the Congressional level as well as in states across the country this fall would constitute a significant weakening of Trump and the MAGA movement and, conversely, a significant strengthening of the diverse, popular coalition fighting for a liveable, democratic, egalitarian, and peaceful world without Trump and Trumpism. All this is made all the more imperative against Trump’s threats to blow back Iran to the Stone Age.

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.
