Great to see. The Liberal Patriot was a needed voice of reason. As the DSA rises, such voices are needed on the Left now more than ever. I look forward to reading.

This is a voice I've solely missed since The Liberal Patriot closed down. Glad to see a new project, and I hope it remains after 2028.

I hope a podcast is forthcoming too.

Very excited about this!

This is like the Beatles broke up, and John and Paul were each writing their own songs. I feel like Halpin is more John, and Ruy is more Paul. But what the hell do I know. Glad to have your voice back.

Fun! Welcome back! Are you guys also on X?

We haven’t decided yet whether to have a full publication presence on X, but I am over there on my personal account!

Glad to see you back. I am a populist who rejects the left right division. Call it populist fusion. Both of the factions have some answers to fix the failures of the Establishment of both parties. I also reject the silly partisanship of the Establishment parties which sadly has infected their affiliated populist factions. The populists need to get over this and cooperate on items of common interest.

I'm curious. I've never encountered a self-described populist before. How do you define the word?

On day of the Wisconsin primary, I’m thrilled about this!

Glad to see Mr. Teixiera and Mr. Bahaereen are still writing. Agree or disagree, their perspective is an intelligent and enriching contribution to our political discourse in these chaotic times. I look forward to hearing their thoughts on the world we are living in.

Thank you, Minsky! Nice to have you back as well.

Thank you for including me in this preview. I am a long time fan.

But let me get this straight. You're teaming up with the Welcome Party that plans to adopt the Dem's current stance regarding women's sex-based rights?

So, we're going to just move on from the Obama era sneaky Title IX redefinition of "woman" that has lead to the current situation: women incarcerated with male criminals because those male criminals say they're women?

I'm afraid you've got some 'splainin' to do.

Those changes basically rendered protection of bodily integrity for women moot. Because without those sex-based boundaries...

Very convenient to lump this in with all the "culture war issues" Welcome thinks it's politically savvy to avoid.

Defending idealism from its opposite is what comes easy to idealists. Defending it from those ostensibly in the same group who would distort it, redefine it and turn it to their own ends is what comes hardest.

The people who claim to share the ideal of sex equality are the ones most effectively hollowing it out by changing what “sex” means.
