Data center conversations are now about rising energy costs, environmental conservation and health risks. @dwj88.bsky.social @techpolicypress.bsky.social: bit.ly/4ajJJjG Will Ohio become a colony for AI oligarchs? @amyactonoh.bsky.social @davidpepperoh.bsky.social @ccbecker271.bsky.social

Call your senators and tell them not to fund DHS. Citizens should not be shot in the back by ICE agents. I called Sen. Husted of Ohio and he no longer has real humans answering the phones but I left a message.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly... Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider." - MLK, Jr. 1963

Four young kids are playing Ticket to Ride at our house and they call the discard pile a "disco" pile. "Don't forget to put your cards in the disco pile." I love kids!

I pay for the New York Times because they are still publishing stories like this. Legacy media has a big role in our democracy.

Voted! I took my 4 year old and visited my mom who was working at the polls. This should be a national holiday. #proudblue

The President’s priorities are gilded ballrooms and marble bathrooms, while the American people are trying to figure out how to afford health care and put food on the table.

Ohio’s Redistricting Commission gerrymandered our state, again. With Republican politicians holding the cards, they carved up communities to find the voters they need to hold on to power. This is not how democracy works. Full statement available here: www.facebook.com/share/p/1ERm... #CareForOhio

I deleted Spotify from my devices but don’t have the pleasure of cancelling because my MAGA brother in law has the account. But, at least I can explain to my kids why we need to use something else to play K-pop.

Bring it on - Ohio will fight for fair maps! We need to hold Ohio legislators accountable to the people in their districts! #Whereisthemap?

"Data centers require large amounts of electricity and 56 % of that energy will be from fossil fuels." I'd much rather see an array of solar panels taking up our landscape. Also, I'm realizing that AI is also an environmental threat. STOP using it. Your brain on AI is mush.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

List of donors for the $300 million ballroom. This money could be put to much better use elsewhere for sure. Almost anywhere else actually. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/u...

He makes cuts to educate our children but then spends $200 million on a new ballroom? Something doesn’t add up. #publicschools www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/u...

Largest crowd yet! People are UPSET! Athens, Ohio says #noKings !

I just donated to @ohiocapitaljournal.com because they have become a critical source of news as I try to follow the Ohio legislature, redistricting and other news in Ohio. I also appreciate their thoughtful commentary. Support great journalism!

Awesome tool from the National Education Association @neatoday.bsky.social allows you to create a past due invoice to send to your rep to tell them to fully fund the Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). My district's funding gap is $1,202,883. #publicschools #publiceducationmatters

At the last protest I stood next to a union leader yelling "He lied to you" through a bullhorn as cars drove past heading to Walmart. These events make you feel less alone. Everyone stand up and be as brave as you can!

The world’s #wind and #solar farms have generated more electricity than coal plants for the first time this year, marking a turning point for the global power system, according to research www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Fair maps are part of our democracy. Districts with a mix of voices will make sure that our legislators are accountable to the voters who elect them. Take Action: Write a letter tonight, right now, just do it: actionnetwork.org/letters/show...

Opinion by Thomas Suddes Ohio homeowners are staggering under ever-higher property taxes not because of runaway school boards but because the General Assembly has slashed the state’s share of public school costs. www.cleveland.com/opinion/2025...

The shutdown is about healthcare and making sure that people can still afford it. Keep up the pressure Democrats! Also, using federal agency websites for partisan messaging upsets me. Check out the USDA:

Ohio Sen. Chavez "represents" Athens. He does not represent my interests. He sits on the Energy Committee in the Ohio Senate and has ties to fracking companies. Thanks for calling this out @athensindy.bsky.social

Finally, something we can celebrate!

Congressman Balderson (R-Ohio) emailed to ask me what I think of his "energy comeback bill." I told him this is a step back for our country. www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/ap...

"Research out of Brown University finds military policing is not an effective tool for reducing crime rates." Call Dewine and tell him we don't want our Ohio National Guard in DC! #freedc

“Like so much of the still-living world, the butterflies in my pollinator garden are a reminder of what I most need to remember. That we must find some way to keep faith in the future. That we must find some way to save them.” For me, Nature has become an antidote to the chaos of politics.

Representing The People of THE District of Columbia www.popville.com/2025/09/repr...

I think this is the first swallowtail caterpillar I’ve seen in my yard.

Trump sued over District of Columbia ‘military occupation’ by state National Guard units ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/09/04/r...

The Trump administration released a report saying that the threat of climate change is overblown in order to justify pro-pollution policies. More than 85 climate scientists just condemned the report, saying it is riddled with errors and cherry-picked data. REPOST if you support these scientists!

Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.

Thank you to my teacher’s union for a duty free lunch!! If you don’t think teachers deserve this, please come sub for a day.

Support public schools and the teachers that make them special. Our future depends on an educated population that speaks up for their rights! #unionstrong #oea

This Labor Day, thank a union. Our nation’s workers have better wages, stronger benefits, and safer working conditions because of them.

Ireland really has it figured out- compost bins are just as big as trash/recycling. I’d love to see this in the US, but alas, we seem to be heading in the opposite direction.

Brian Hambley believes the Secretary of State shouldn’t confuse Ohio voters. Let’s do this democrats! We need someone elected statewide to save our state from the GOP. They have done nothing for their voters. Time for a change Ohio.

Fuzzy bee body covered in pollen.

Take ACTION Ohio! Tell Gov. Dewine what you don't like in HB 96 (the budget bill): I've told him I want fair funding for public schools and to veto the language about segregating library materials related to sexual orientation. Squeaky squeaky squeaky wheel! governor.ohio.gov/contact/cont...
