Welcome to Political Sightlines
Welcome to Political Sightlines, a view from Maine on what’s happening, why, and how to fight authoritarianism and build a more perfect union. I’m Amy Fried, a retired political science professor.
You can read more about me and this newsletter at the About tab.
While I have many academic publications, I also have a long track record of writing for the public in Maine and in national outlets.
In Maine I was a biweekly columnist for the Bangor Daily News for over 13 years until they stopped having regular opinion contributors. I started this Substack after a run at The Crash Report, where I was its Federal Correspondent. Please check out my last piece there, Susan Collins is bad at her job.
