Friendly reminder to Ohio legislators that when you are recognized to speak by the House Speaker, you do not have to also ask for "permission to speak to the bill." You were recognized. You have the floor. Just #@$%ing speak!

Trump should be reassuring the country at this time. Instead he is sowing fear

🧵 Have you heard of Isabelle Boemeke? She’s a Brazilian fashion model turned nuclear energy influencer. She is married to Joe Gebbia (DOGE). Gebbia is co-founder of Airbnb & a Tesla board member. In 2022 Boemeke delivered a TED Talk titled Nuclear Power is Our Best Hope to Ditch Fossil Fuels

It’s my opinion that humanitarian and musical genius Dolly Parton (as well as Chef José Andrés) deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. tucson.com/life-enterta...

An extraordinary number of really popular dishes from all over the world started out as "poor people food" though.

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

Nearly 90% of all K-12 students in Ohio attend public schools. Every discussion about the future of education in our state must include public education, no exceptions. Visit bit.ly/PublicEdFuture to show your support for public schools! #publiceducationmatters #ohio #fundourschools

Ohio--we can't let outside billionaires like Jeff Yass DOGE our public schools students.

We consider Ross Leonard to be a threat to our communities, and we hope you enjoy the sunlight.

We're feeling particularly reckless today, so say hello to Ohio Nationalist Network(formerly Ohio Active Club) member Ross Leonard, of Milford, Ohio.

On the one hand, a patriot with decades of experience defending America. On the other hand, a conspiracy theorist who hates Americans and American institutions. Presented here as "two visions of America under Trump" www.nytimes.com/2025/08/03/u...

If anyone is curious about the current list of search terms being used by right wing activist organizations to harass university professors, here's a public records request I received today from Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation. Not intimidating or meant to curtail by my speech at all, right?

Very helpful piece by Paul Thomas about NAEP scores and how they are frequently misinterpreted (and often exploited to bash public schools) — and the critical work this distracts us from. #GiftLink #GiftArticle

The Trump administration’s request to claw back $9.4 billion in previously approved spending on foreign aid and public media ran into significant opposition Wednesday, potentially dooming its path forward in the Senate. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/06/25/r...

Is this good???

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

Vance Boelter’s ties to the New Apostolic Reformation explained.

Congress died the moment they allowed 147 insurrectionists to remain in office instead of expelling them and charging them with sedition. That’s just my opinion.

Convicted Felon, Donald Trump, is to blame for all of the ensuing violence and chaos. Trump broke it so he buys it.

An ICE officer said, "I don't need a warrant." Things are escalating. We may end up striking simply because we all fear going out. Soon, they will get anyone off the streets for "harboring" people. The ones they released didn't get their phones back. Glendale, CA.

An image of the LA protest I'm watching Protesters are holding up American flags and chanting "Peaceful protest" over and over while police fire tear gas grenades at them

Correct, the North Koreans know how to put on a show because they do it frequently not throw it together in like 3 months ad hoc (also u might get executed if you fuck it up) I was just talking to my wife about how a thing that got trump obsessed with doing these was seeing Bastille Day in person…

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

Watching the videos out of LA and yeah I get why NWA wrote a whole rap anthem denouncing the cops.

@melbuer.bsky.social posting for Sean as the situation has deteriorated rapidly. Lines of mounted police surged the crowd and began firing riot munitions directly into people. One person appeared to be trampled by the horses, another detained. Multiple videos incoming

Protester: I’m going into fourth grade and I’m 9 years old

This you @repgreglandsman.bsky.social?👇You seem a little confused. Either ICE is doing a good job or they're not. RN Emerson is sitting in a Butler County Jail cell for 22 hours a day when he should be out playing soccer with his friends and getting ready for the rest of his life. #FreeEmerson

Protesters and activists are seen outside the Butler County Correctional Center, which has a contract to house ICE detainees, to protest recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE raids, and the recent arrest of 19-year-old Emerson Colindres in Hamilton, Ohio. Sunday, June 8, 2025.

Every single Democratic Congressperson in Ohio voted for this bullshit.

NYT: “If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived.” 😳🇺🇸 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

No president has ever federalized the National Guard for purposes of responding to potential future civil unrest anywhere in the country. Preemptive deployment is literally the opposite of deployment as a last resort. It would be a shocking abuse of power and the law. 15/19

Media/Press: Please DM your Signal if you want further information. Reach out to the Ohio BMV for comment and send in FOIA requests. 3/

BMV employees probably know about it as they will be facilitating it. They may or may not know why. 2/

🧵 SCOOP: DHS has requested 20,000 records (including photos) from of Ohio BMV to be delivered early next week. The Ohio BMV system logs every query made. Law enforcement already has access but ICE may be trying to avoid detection. 1/

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Argentina’s military did this to its citizens during the Dirty War. Horrifying. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/arg...

2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.

Everyone in the world can see and describe exactly what's happening EXCEPT the people in the place it's happening and the press corps that's supposed to be explaining it to them.

We should be fully funding the public schools that 90% of students attend, not funneling money away into voucher schemes. @OFTUnion.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/oftu...

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

The Educational Choice for Children Act is a tax loophole for wealthy families to profit off “donations” to private school vouchers. Rich donors could get a 100% tax credit & avoid capital gains taxes, saving more in taxes than they give—turning public money into their personal gain. #ProtectOurKids

I can think of few more effective ways to make America’s wine moms even more willing to hunt MAGAs than they already are than “taking away access to LIBBY online library services”
