This is the play.

What kind of a science nerd are you? Me? I'm the kind that gets way too giddy when I see a proper scientist reach out and connect to me. I've always been #Scicomm adjacent, wishing it was a full time gig. Interpreting science for the masses remains a dream job.

4) Ranked choice voting
Trump is the consequence rather than the cause of the anti-democratic surge.

Here's how the Supreme Court's infamous Citizens United decision — issued 15 years ago today — overwhelmed our political system with money and brought us to our current moment.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but, "recalling emails" doesn't do anything. It's like teslamotors #FSD, or #MAGA "make american groceries affordable".... it is a sales feature that says it does a thing, but that thing it says it does...it doesn't do. Ok, moving on.
