Primaries are supposed to be for voters to decide who represents them. Increasingly it's whoever can buy the most ads. New op-ed in @rvamag.bsky.social on a different way to pick our nominees. One that's already legal, already in the party's rules, and already how we nominate presidents. 🧵

Inspired by Professor @stevevladeck.bsky.social work — the "law doesn't matter anymore" narrative is factually wrong most of the time, and it's doing more for authoritarianism than people realize.

When I was younger I studied five languages and dreamed of being a simultaneous interpreter. My first translating gig? The Very Hungry Caterpillar. In Russian. For a four-week-old who cannot understand any language. The UN’s loss, honestly.

So many ICE out pins at last night’s Grammys. Thank an organizer!!! These moments can look spontaneous, but movements don’t go mainstream without a lot of behind-the-scenes work. This is how change happens.

I went to college at 17 as the daughter of an undocumented immigrant working as a nanny. Even with a half ride, I graduated with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. ⬇️ should be the standard.

“…there could be real risk for you. But the bigger risk is silence. That's because your silence tells everyone who is appalled by Pretti's death that they shouldn't speak up, either. That gives the federal government the tacit permission to carry on.” @pkafka.bsky.social

American business leaders need to speak up about Alex Pretti's killing

It's understandable that CEOs and other leaders are wary of wading into the latest shooting in Minneapolis. But that's not an excuse for silence.

ICE is looking to acquire a warehouse the size of nine football fields in Hanover. Kansas City recently passed a 5-year moratorium on detention facilities in response to ICE trying to do the same in MO. This is a great moment for local government to shine, if they’re ready.
