The power of ranked choice voting is that you don’t have to choose between voting your ideal values and voting pragmatically to stop a horrible candidate. By ranking as many people as you are allowed, you can do both!

Book banning is gross
My Newbery-honor book, A Snake Falls to Earth, has been challenged…but not because of its contents. From the link below: “Despite the book’s lack of sexual content, violence, or vulgar language, it became a target due to the author, Darcie Little Badger, identifying as asexual.” Bruh. What a world.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!
Wow. New CBS poll finds majority (55%) supports the *general goal* of deportations, but a bigger majority (56%) dislikes how Trump is carrying them out. And 63% want due process.
Again, we need a better discourse around public opinion on immigration, as I've argued:

Gov. Gavin Newsom said on social media that California National Guard was being taken over by the federal government “not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.”

I know we're all busy with the AI list thing, but I just saw this: Sourcebooks is repackaging a YA trilogy of fantasy novels as adult romantasy.
I wonder how many books are going to be reissued as "now with spice" or "now for adults"

Ok. But even if it’s not a done deal yet, the fact giving Trump a jet is “under consideration” tells you all you need to know about what countries are being told they need to do to be an ally with America under Trump. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

@lindsayred.bsky.social random! Hi! Just read your article from last summer about the Vincent Price art collection at Sears, but for me even if the dialogue at the beginning is fictionalized it was a little moment with my grandfather (George) whom I never met. Shared it with both my sisters 💜

Abhorrent. Nothing about this is humane.
The United States already has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with 716 people incarcerated per 100,000 residents.
This is cruelty for profit.

Good news out of Iowa! Big thank you & congratulations to the advocates who worked on this! It is abundantly clear these bans are unconstitutional, but that won't stop them from trying. We need to be just as organized & just as relentless. Good job team!
