I want to give a big shoutout to the @primal @Primal Studio team and @paul keating for reaching out to get me all set up! They’re building killer creator tools and I’m excited to participate and bring you all more of my original writing that I hope you’ll find different, principled, and thought provoking.
I’ll be cross posting my substack liberalground.com here to nostr. One place for the normies, the other for decentralized and censorship resistant posting! Coming shortly…

Wow, I am just now finding out about this. Clockout, a new exclusive social network app that only accepts smart people 😂
Have y’all seen this??


I work my ass off in and for Bitcoin, the greatest performing asset on the planet
But its all volunteer and I make no money, damn I did something wrong here 🤣
With every stupid move by a tyrannical government, people from all walks of life and political stripe get one step closer to realizing the future, and their freedom, is found in decentralized freedom tech, censorship resistant money separate from the state, and in community and solidarity with one another.
We’re going to win

Ok…what’s the best way to post longform content via @primal?
I’ll cross post my substack here
The potential future of the Democratic Party (@AOC & @ZohranKMamdani) utterly failed in their response to Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
They gave one statement each. Broad, vague, as if fearful of being canceled or called out by their supporters, or just not caring.
It is indisputable that extreme left views and complacency with violence (and outright cheering violence) that has been growing and permitting online, from many of their supporters, is a huge problem and risk to our liberal democracy (just as many of us in the past have said the far right is a risk as well)
This is failed leadership. It needs to be called out more. Not just “all political violence,” but speaking directly to your supporters and saying “we can disagree with Charlie but it is not ok to commit violence or promote and applaud it”. @BernieSanders did a bit of a better job, but he’s not the future.
This failure in leadership is another huge reason I do not believe they should lead the Democratic Party or our nation, and will not be a united and good force. Do better. They should immediately call a virtual town hall to denounce this if they want the American people’s support and trust that the are the right fit to lead the Democratic Party and nation forward (but they are not…)

Bullish on sensible and respectful dialogue across the aisles.
This is another good one, between Ezra Klein and Ben Shapiro. Shocker, Ezra is getting flack from the far left for being, oh I don’t know, introspective and a decent human being, in the wake of Charlie’s murder

This is an episode in two parts. First, my thoughts on Charlie Kirk’s murder, now that I’ve had a few days to process it, and to see the unfold...
Progressives will bitch and complain about being deplatformed because of vile comments they made about Charlie but not try nostr 🙄
Destiny should come to nostr 🤷🏼♂️


Today I’m launching Liberal Ground, a publication (and beyond) where I will reflect and write about culture, society and politics, with an appeal to rebuild the sane and moderate left, and find unity and common ground in liberal values - the foundation of America
My first piece is live. You can find it here and subscribe (liberalground.com domain coming soon)
I will continue to work on and advocate for bitcoin and freedom tech, while also wading into political waters and fight for a new left of center approach to our broken, and extremely partisan politics and society.
The moment is now


On Charlie Kirk and this Defining Moment
I am a husband, father to a young daughter, and someone who deeply loves this country.

Sometimes writing about or working on bitcoin gets boring
By that I mean, Bitcoin is here. It’s working. It’s a freedom tool today. What I’m more and more interested in is how we make the world a better place. Society, culture, politics. Fighting for principles and freedoms.
It’s what bitcoiners do that will change the world
If you haven’t already, every democrat or left leaning person should listen to the Charlie Kirk ep of Gavin Newsom’s podcast.
Every strategist, politician, voter, especially those who have no idea why the swing to the right has been building for years. Don’t be snobbish - just listen.
Charlie is literally giving such rich advice, saying the biggest threat to the right/MAGA movement today is if democrats run to the middle and could gain a bigger coalition (remember the big tent party?!) again.
It’s right fucking there

Go win your shit today
Gov’t overreach and attacks on free speech, a first amendment right that we do not ask your permission for, in the wake of Charlie’s death is the worst way to honor his legacy btw.
The state suuuuuuucks
Whelp


America tuning into an old episode of Gavin Newsom’s podcast with Charlie Kirk



For the American nostriches 🇺🇸
What makes America, America? What values should all Americans (regardless of political party) share and believe in our social contract?
And what is currently the biggest risk to this social contract?
