Big crowd at the Ohio Statehouse #NoKings #ColumbusOhio

Wait, THIS is young Anton Chekhov? This? Good lord. Let that gun go off, daddy

The Republican governor of Ohio is literally scrambling to set up humanitarian aid for children whose parents are about to be forcibly torn from them www.liberalcurrents.com/terror-retur...

And I think about Eric Garner’s last words so often, I have this beautiful poem by Ross Gay memorised:

Standing with my neighbors today. Also, Abolish ICE #ColumbusOhioProtest

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

If you ever find yourself losing faith in people, or wondering “do people even CARE anymore?!”, visit your local library. I say this without hyperbole, I am always struck by how much librarians care, every time I’m there. Always helping. Always tending. Always reaching out. We owe them so much. 💙

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Ohio: Demand Governor DeWine immediately reverse course and recall the National Guard troops back to Ohio. Call him at any of these numbers: 614-466-3555 614-644-4357 937-285-6185 And attend this press briefing in Columbus at noon today, Aug 20.

Flower in the community garden Northwest DC. Total hellhole haha

Great visual protest idea. Main north south street in Columbus. Right past state Capitol building.

Books with Black/brown characters and LGBTQ+ characters are getting banned because banning books is the first step towards banning people. Contact your local library and school board and tell them you support the freedom to read, for everyone.

LTE from local library director: columbusunderground.com/letter-to-th...

Contact DeWine. Urge him to veto. We have until June 30th. Call: 614-466-3555 Email: governor.ohio.gov/contact

Happy Pride Day! Or as we say in Columbus Ohio: NO KINGS YAAAAASSSSS QUEENS

One of the missions of the public library is to be safe and welcoming and open to all. Hiding materials deemed "controversial" is another way of saying that some people are not welcome. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/05/19/o...
