Wrote about Graham Platner's twisted-ass shit, the Dem Primary in Maine, and Ranked Choice Voting being of use in defeating Susan Collins in more ways than one.

Making it a formal thing is fun:

#TheProgressiveCafe endorses Danielle Welch @votewelch.bsky.social for Congress in her #NY03 primary against Tom Suozzi.

Endorsing Danielle Welch For Congress In NY-03
Waging a primary campaign curiously devoid of big national figures like Sanders and Warren, Danielle Welch is challenging my Congressman, Sellout Suozzi. I really hope she wins.

Do I wanna put the #TheProgressiveCafe article about the #GreenNewDeal out tonight, at it's majestic 4,986 words? Or wait until the #NY03 primary is over?

I think I'm gonna keep promoting my endorsement of @votewelch.bsky.social

Gee, anyone remember when Trump welcomed the Taliban to Camp David around that years' anniversary of 9/11.

I did! And I even wrote about it before the debate.

Weird #Democrats never picked up on that argument, though.

Another #TheProgressiveCafe repost I had to do because the Substack To #Beehiiv transition didn't work so well.

This one is about my general distaste for what they call #GenerativeAI.

I've seen a lot of countries toying with the idea of leaving the International Criminal Court; I counter that it's time the United States be held accountable by joining the ICC.

Even though the U.S. isn't a member - yet - it's time for those who favor international cooperation to support the ICC and for the U.S. to commit to joining the Rome Statute.

On to a new thing: A deep dive into the #GreenNewDeal (over 5,000 words!) over at #TheProgressiveCafe.

I've spent weeks working on this one, so I really hope you'll take a look at it and give it what it's worth.

This started - at least w/Substacks - right around when I started #TheProgressiveCafe and my growth just stopped. Like THUMP.

TBH I could maybe give it a try, but I don't know what to say that'd add to any #politics / #political conversation

Maybe?:

After much reading & hemming and hawing, here's my thoughts on why we #Democrats lost the 2024 presidential Election. It's nearly 5,000 words, so take your time and question everything.

I invite constructive commentary!

This #TheProgressiveCafe article about the #GreenNewDeal has passed the 3,600 word mark.

Literally speaking, if I wanted to make teeny-tiny articles, each point of the AOC/Markey plan could be its own 500-ish-word article.

For reference?
