Assassins tried to silence our friend and colleague Imam Muhsin Hendricks. He will not be silenced. Here's a presentation he shared with our first group of journalists in 2016. Rest in Power, Muhsin. Your wisdom and truth live on. #JusticeforMuhsin https://t.co/8SIKwyPwPp

Voters in Oak Park, IL said YES to better elections with #RankedChoiceVoting! 🥳 👏 @FairVoteIL

[BRIAN PELLOT @brianpellot]

As a journo, I don't think news outlets should endorse. Not enough readers understand the newsroom/editorial team divide. Whatever your policy, don't change it last minute (@latimes @washingtonpost). And don't say "only" when you mean "best" @nytimes. Words matter.

Ranked choice voting (RCV) is on the ballot in Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon this year. Alaska and Maine already have it. No matter your politics, it's a better system. More voice, more choice. Happy voting! @fairvote https://t.co/eLi42RDWMG via @YouTube
