I have been blogging online since before there were blogs. I began on a listserve at Marist University called QC-L back in the late 1990s. That evolved into a Blogger account I had at RadicalRuss.net during the George W. Bush Administration. From there, I joined the acclaimed LGBT blog Pam's House Blend as a guest blogger, leading to my accreditation to cover the 2008 Democratic National Convention nominating Barack Obama in Denver. During my career in marijuana legalization, I wrote numerous articles online and in print on the subject. I continue blogging from time to time on various subjects here and as much of my past blogging as I've been able to recover is found here as well.

I used to be a Twitter power user (22K followers), but since Elon Musk turned it into a Nazi pub, I then migrated to Threads, until Mark Zuckerberg began throttling political speech and forced me off that, Facebook, and Instagram. Then TikTok went and kissed the Felon’s ring, so bye bye, there, too. You can find me primarily now on BlueSky, where I’m verified as @RadicalRuss.com. I’m also on Mastodon, kinda, and YouTube with our live stream and video archive.
