one thing i really like about @AlexisCoe’s new Washington biography are the personal details about the framers, like how Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton were messy as hell and lived for drama pic.twitter.com/hWEPky4qSk

There's a lot going on in America and the world, so I'm really glad @jbouie wrote this column on the blatant racism of Trump's latest travel ban and its historical precedents.

Bolaji Badejo was a Nigerian visual artist and actor who became known as one of Hollywood's most unlikely on-screen performers in the role of the Alien in Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien, his only film role. He died from sickle cell anemia at the age of 39. pic.twitter.com/aYWsVSM40x

yep, i’m the idiot for thinking there’s no logical connection between a national popular vote and iowa’s caucus system twitter.com/cliffsmithzbrd… twitter.com/cliffsmithzbrd…

if anything the caucus system is the closest thing we have to the electoral college as envisioned in 1788

this to me seems like a problem that can be solved, and an easier one than trying to develop a secure system for online voting.

we already have the technology to make voting more accessible: the postal service. twitter.com/timiseminger/s… twitter.com/timiseminger/s…

yes, government is terrible at managing everything, which is why Time Warner runs the Pentagon, Enron manages the Department of Health and Human Services, and Dell heads up the Department of the Interior twitter.com/cb375hh/status…

the basic point is this process is too important to cede so much influence to for-profit entities

(my related take is that elections don’t need new technology. pen and paper is all you need, with a machine counter and human back ups.)

half the issue here is the demand for immediate results, which has nothing to do with the process and everything to do with the spectacle

debates should be hosted in collaboration with public broadcasting, results from primaries and caucuses should be tabulated on their own time, etc.

I wrote about the caucus app fiasco and how this is what happens when you move fast, break things and bring the startup idea of "minimum viable product" to...the integrity of the democratic process nytimes.com/2020/02/04/opi… pic.twitter.com/NZXUSUyD6U
