Reposted by NMEThe Fig Economy @figgityfigs.bsky.social · 02/06/2026I think one thing the right does way better than the (broad) left is giving people room to come over; of having a stance of accepting converts rather than looking at everyone as a probable double agent set to destroy us from within. 2193
Reposted by NMEEric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 01/06/2026I also really want to flag this: Collins is significantly more MAGA this time around than she was in Trump 1.0. In 2017, she opposed Betsy DeVos’s confirmation and the Obamacare repeal bill. She also bought herself time with opposing Barrett. Now, she voted to confirm RFK Jr. AND Tulsi Gabbard 1149693
Reposted by NMEShay Stewart-Bouley @blackgirlinmaine.bsky.social · 26/05/2026My final piece on Graham Platner and the US Senate race. At almost 5000 words, it's long but based on several meetings with Platner and others. I'm not arguing with people online, so there are no comments. Life is too short to be stressed. open.substack.com/pub/shaystew...open.substack.comPlatner is the presumptive candidate, but is he the right person? My Final ThoughtsNOTE: Almost certainly this piece will travel beyond my usual readership, so I thought it wise to add a quick preface. 029394

NME @nme365.bsky.social · 09/05/2026"I also can’t quite blame those who detest Platner’s leftwing politics for refusing to give him the benefit of the doubt. They have an easy line of attack, and naturally they’re going to use it. Still, it’s worth drawing a distinction between what is true and what makes an easy political narrative." 020
