A week ago, the Indian government forced a streaming service to take down a controversial new movie. The saga exposed just how thoroughly Modi's authoritarian government has suppressed free speech in Bollywood — and how Trump is using similar tactics here www.vox.com/politics/495...

Modi’s government brought Bollywood to heel. Hollywood should pay attention.

A censored Indian film shows how quickly creative freedom can buckle under political pressure.

Want a break from gerrymandering discourse? There really might be enough states to institute a national popular vote by the 2028 presidential election. But as @awprokop.bsky.social writes, there are risks to an attempted Constitutional end-run by blue states www.vox.com/politics/487...

A decades-long plan to abolish the Electoral College may finally pay off

Democrats could be one midterm wave away from instituting a national popular vote. Should they?

I've spent years arguing that Trump is a dire threat to democracy. The White House has blamed people like me for the WHCD shooting attempt. So I decided to test their claims by talking to five leading researchers on political violence. And I learned a lot (THREAD) www.vox.com/politics/487...

What should liberals do when an assassin sounds like them?
