You can find me here. It's been mostly great over here for the last 14 years, but I'm trying to get out of this hellscape! jonduke.bsky.social

On the podcast, @csl_duke was kind enough to indulge me on my film that's raising finishing funds on Kickstarter. Check it out! MaineNoir.com

The idea that the Trump courts knocked down the last vestiges of the Voting Rights Act, states try to go wild gerrymandering, and MS could elect Colom as the first new Dem senator since '47. Back when Stennis and Eastland did their best to preserve segregation.

A striking cap to a night of total Republican defeat. Susan Collins, who has been a U.S. senator from Maine for almost thirty years, has conceded her race. She didn't come out to address the last supporters at her party, but put out a statement saying she is "proud of all I have been able to accomplish for our state." The song playing as the campaign packed up for good? "Closing Time." newyorker.com/live/news/elec…

Colom is 4600 down. The last MS Dem newly elected was John Stennis in 1947. Somehow that seems more unbelievable than Kansas not sending a Dem since '32.

This all should have happened in 2018. It never should have taken this long for the complicity to Trump's whims to finally result in a wipe out of the GOP. The next 2 yrs will be fascinating politically as both parties redefine themselves for the future.

I'd love to believe the public will remember who created our current state of affairs, but I suspect what happened today will be yesterday's news 2 yrs from now. I hope I'm wrong.

The faux moderate bullshit Collins put forth for years made people feel good about themselves in Maine while her votes her us. Save your sanctimony. Save your concern. I'm ready to have a vote who represents me in DC.

And this she "mastered the system" and "the most bipartisan senator" nonsense... our state has withered. The interior has seen jobs and people escape. The coast is wholly unaffordable but for rich retired types. The BBB was the final nail in that coffin.

Oh and that BBB and ICE funding which allowed masked agents to roam our state and end up in one Mainer shot to death. Some system you mastered... our world changed and it took our state to realize it had to subject you to our own term limits.

Remember when the Affordable Care Act was pulled back because Collins was concerned about overreach. Remember when TARP was pulled back because she was concerned it was too expensive. Remember when she wasn't concerned about Kavanaugh Remember when she signed off on BBB?

The Celtics need more physicality and energy out of those wings. Houston’s guys in those same spots are making plays and beating us to the ball.

None of Baylor, Walsh, Hugo, and Hauser had more than 20 minutes yesterday. Games like tonight are where at least one or two of those four have to step forward. Pritch hitting some shots would help too.

This game is primed for a Marcus Smart takeover . and there it is

Houston’s energy wings are out working the Celtics’ energy wings and that’s been a real difference maker.

I don’t know if modern day Celtics fans can appreciate how important Delonte was to the mid 2000s teams and putting the team into position to get KG and Ray. His “wiyahh hangaahhh” ad for Fox Sports New England is legendary
Delonte West is here at TD Garden and gets a shoutout on the Jumbotron
