I […]
4.8.2024 02:20The Kamala CoalitionIt’s been over six months since I decided to get this connected to the Fediverse so that my perspective could be seen by a wider audience. I’ve had to migrate to a new host to make that possible but I think I’m nearly there.
25.7.2024 04:29Six long monthsThis is both new and old for me. I wrote consistently on political policy topics for over 10 years but then life happened and I tapered off nearly 10 years ago.
