This is why I love the Boston Comics Roundtable (which just celebrated its 20th anniversary) -- not only the art critique, but our monthly Writers' Night, where we critique each others' scripts and pitches!

By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net

Through my writing life, nothing improved my writing more than participation in peer-based workshops: where a group of writers at about the same stage in their artistic development gather to read one another's work and offer feedback specifically aimed at improving each other's stories.

Ranked choice voting isn't cheating. It is, however, a way to reduce the "spoiler effect" of third and fourth candidates -- while making sure said third and fourth candidates actually get the votes of the people who want them.

President Donald Trump called ranked choice voting “damn bad cheating” during a recent Alaska rally. Ranked choice voting is a legal and secure way to hold elections — and it lets voters’ preferences drive the results. buff.ly/l8CIPal

buff.lyWhy some Alaskans want to repeal 2022 voting changesFour years after about 51% of Alaskans voted to adopt a new election system and two years after the new system debuted, some people in the state want to hit the undo button. A measure that aims to…

In my day the East India Company kept its own army and made its own treaties, and Boston threw its tea in the harbour. Now I read one merchant had a hand in whether Ukraine's drones stayed connected. A Republick ought not to need a rich man's leave.

It's starting.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com

Months of fears around the use of armed immigration enforcement to affect national elections appear to be coming to fruition. Federal authorities announced the arrest in California of at least 11 people and charges against 28, alleging they registered to vote as noncitizens.

"This administration will not ignore the rule of law." The man was showing up for a COURT HEARING. Oh, and he's Albanian. Wonder if that's one of the reasons he was targeted...besides making life easier for food-insecure people.

I think we're seeing a lot of really crazy bold faced corruption because it's their last chance to do so, and because they know nobody who can do anything, will say anything. 🤷 #political

This thread is reaching people who have no idea what Banned Book Club is. Hi! My wife and I wrote a book about her experience being hunted for reading illegal books in 1980s Korea and it has been banned across the US. We gave a copy to President Moon. store.ironcircus.com/products/ban...

I'm in Massachusetts, and most of the No Kings events near me are "Let's go vote early as a bunch," as Mass. early voting starts tomorrow. I plan on accompanying some of my neighbors to one of my city's early voting sites.
