Sorry, Charlie, but while you left a legacy of dehumanizing people you disagreed with, vilifying empathy, justifying gun violence as necessary for personal freedoms, and prioritizing soundbites of "owning" debates over pluralistic problem solving, your legacy can't force me to not feel empathy..

ACTION NEEDED -- The #Ohio House is pausing their Summer break and returning for a one-day Session on 7/21 ‼️ 🚨 open.substack.com/pub/rachelco... @howthingsworkoh.bsky.social

Dead count is at least 24, but I’m having doubts that “there would have been no way to foresee this” if the National Weather Service still had equipment and personnel to more accurately predict the severity of the storms forming early Thursday.. www.reuters.com/business/env...

In APHA v NIH, filed in April, in response to abrupt defunding of NIH grants, Judge Young ruled that the termination of some of the NIH grants was illegal & ordered that they be restored. Essentially, you can't terminate funding if you can't define the reason. 🧪🔗 arstechnica.com/science/2025...

An assault on immigrant communities is an assault on *America itself.* Immigrants *are* the American story—builders, dreamers, defenders. If you come for them, you're not defending this country—you’re desecrating it. Don’t dare call it patriotism. It’s cowardice in red, white, and blue #VoteHellNo

The Big Deficit Bill is still being discussed in the House, may likely include amendments that need to go to back to the Senate. NOW IS THE TIME TO CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES.

Governor DeWine still hasn't signed #Ohio's budget bill‼️ Legally, he must sign it by midnight TONIGHT (6/30)⏰️ But he can veto (AKA remove) anything he wants from the bill before he signs it. Keep demanding vetoes of the worst items: open.substack.com/pub/rachelco...

SB 16/HB 5337 threatens the voting rights of all Ohioans. Use @standupamerica.com’s tool and urge your state representative to vote NO on SB 153/HB 233: act.standupamerica.com/letters/lett... #theresistance #ohio #NoKings

The repeal effort of Ohio's anti-higher-ed law, SB 1, failed to collect enough signatures. Shame on Ohio's Democratic Party and the unions that did not help with the signature drive. Faculty in Ohio have lost the right to strike. 1/3

Everyone working to overturn #Ohio's Higher Education Destruction Act (SB 1) has done incredible work 🔥 I saw that petition everywhere I went all over the state. Every event. Every festival. You all are freaking grassroots badasses no matter the outcome 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 www.statenews.org/government-p...

🗣️HEADS UP! The House Judiciary Committee just added a last minute hearing to the calendar for 10am tomorrow to vote on SB 56 -- legislation to rollback our adult-use cannabis rights. 📲Tell your Representative to vote NO: action.aclu.org/send-message...

The final signatures are being scanned in, but if our reported numbers are accurate then we are projected to have SUCCEEDED in collecting the signatures needed to against OH SB-1 as the first all-volunteer group to achieve a referendum under Ohio’s most restrictive petition process!

🧪YAY! Judge Young has expressed his displeasure towards the terminations of NIH grants. He wants the grant $ to be restored. The plaintiff was a coalition of 16 states affected by the cuts. The defense could not name single grant that was used to "support unlawful discrimination".

Thanks everyone who atteended the #nokings protests yesterday and signed the Stop SB1 petition! We're now reaching the final week of petition signings. If you haven't signed yet, and don't know where to go, DM this account and we can help.

This is a sparkling example of lack of science literacy displayed by the HHS. HHS report, which is against recommending Covid vaccines to pregnant women, cites studies that conclude the opposite. The best advice of 2025 is to NOT listen to RFK Jr. or HHS. 🧪🖇️ www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Whenever #Ohio constituents call out their representatives for pushing unwanted policy, the increasingly unpopular Conservative party moves the goal posts to silence Ohioan-driven petitions. Ohioans didn’t stand for it in 2023; we must not get distracted and miss our chance to defend our rights.

What would the poor #Cleveland #Browns do without Ohio's help? 😢 bit.ly/OhioBudget2025

"With implementation of Senate Bill 1, students and professors will likely choose to leave Ohio to teach and learn, which will deny Ohio valuable, talented members of society and damage our state’s economy-" www.cantonrep.com/story/opinio...

The rabbithole goes deep on how bad this bill can get... but the fight isn't over yet! StopSB1Ohio is a group of volunteers whose goal is to send SB1 to referendum, meaning that the people of Ohio will be able to vote on if SB1 is enacted. Our goal is to get 300,000 signatures by June 25th.

What is Ohio SB1 & what can I do about it? SB1 is a bill passed by the Republican Ohio state legislature. The stated goal of the bill is to remove "DEI initiatives" from higher education. This includes removing trainings and services that help keep Women, LGBT people and veterans at school.

This is not American. They're not deporting criminals - they're taking the easy way out to kidnap our neighbors!

Happy Pride, everyone! Keep up the good fight for every American to have equal rights to be out and open with who they are and who they love! 🇺🇸🦅🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
