Could the U.S. use a lesson in democracy?
From Sierra Leone, Ahmed Nasralla wonders if West Africa’s election oversight could help smooth the U.S. election process. In this JAM! segment, he imagines ECOWAS bringing some calm and fair play to the American “gold standard” of democracy.
Catch Ahmed’s fresh take on Project L.
Today, polling in four locations faced bomb threats that temporarily disrupted voting. The FBI has since reported that none of the threats have been deemed credible, and voting continues as people return to cast their ballots.
Our latest BOP track, created with AI, captures the resilience of voters facing down disruptions to make their voices heard. Listen! Join us in honouring those who stand firm for democracy.
Hot Take from Rajiv Satyal, @funnyindian Gen X, born between ‘72 and ‘80, might just be the luckiest generation in U.S. history. Too young to remember the Iranian hostage crisis and out of high school for Columbine. The ’80s and ’90s are called “the end of history” for a reason.
As Rajiv says, we’ve been riding a wave of calm compared to what’s hit other generations. Time to take some emotional withdrawals?

Men in Mexican and Indian diasporas lean toward Trump, while women back Harris on women’s rights. An unpredictable and nuanced vote that could shape the outcome.
