Public school teachers need you to help us keep in business!

I'm so mad at all the money they have in their pockets to spend attacking candidates who want to make Ohio a better place after YEARS of Republican rule.

This discussion really sums up how Ohio got in this mess!! Thanks @hambleyforohio.bsky.social for the discussion on gerrymandering and how Ohio's legislative makeup makes it hard for people to be heard. Yes, ATHENS is all cut up and our voices are NOT represented at all. So frustrating!

"It's time to VOTE!... Vote for my friend, Dr. Bryan Hambley!" Tell your friends they can't complain if they don't vote!!

From the National Education Association president:

This sign in between Glouster and Trimble in SE Ohio asks a great question: "What if them were your kids?" that could apply to many issues these days. Because I care about kids (my kids and your kids), I vote for Democrats. #Epstein #publicschools #healthcare

Wow, just wow. The choice is clear: Vote @amyactonoh.bsky.social Ohio gubernatorial candidate with rifle invites Ramaswamy to play ‘Cowboys and Indians’ ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/17/o...

Here's a virtual event about vouchers. In Ohio, we give even rich people who would already be enrolling in private schools vouchers and in total, it add up to $1Billion from our budget. Our GOP legislators say they don't have money for public schools - DOESN'T ADD UP! social.redwine.blue/s/J3Pxjjsl

Amy @amyactonoh.bsky.social 's message of common humanity really stuck with me. When we can't look away at others suffering, we need to come together with some people who care and make a difference.

Just saw Amy Acton @amyactonoh.bsky.social in Athens and I am PUMPED that we have such a committed, passionate, life-long public servant running to change things in the state of Ohio. She can start to turn things around to make this a better place to live again. (And she's all about public schools!)

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

A quick story in six skeets about why I'm voting for @hambleyforohio.bsky.social for Ohio Secretary of State in the Dem primary, and you should too 👇

Ohio's Republican lawmakers looking out for their rich friends, not the people. People who have enough money to make money off that money don’t need additional tax breaks. Pretty sure you said that you didn't have enough money to fully fund public schools...

Public media, like public schools, are critical to our communities and our democracy. Trump’s Executive Order on NPR and PBS Is Unconstitutional, Judge Rules www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/b...

What could we do with the $12B Trump spent on the first week of war with Iran? - Housing help for ~1 million Americans - Lower prescription drug costs - Fund national parks for 3+ years - Give Pell grants to 1.6 million students - Pay the salaries of 100,000+ teachers and nurses

Look! I found another @hambleyforohio.bsky.social supporter at the Athens #NoKings. Show up! Speak out! Save our state from politicians who aren't listening to the people. I had a chance to talk to people about why and when to vote in the primary May 5. Use your voice while you still can!

Stop using A.I., etc “What is a TikTok video if not a digital Dorito?”

We have an Athens local running for District 95 in Ohio who I would considering voting for just because of his name (James Joyce) but then he won me over with: "The basis of democracy is a well-educated population" and then went on to talk about supporting public schools. You got my vote!

Gerrymandering has made it so most candidates just need to win in the primary. “The primary election systems in most states strongly encourage and reward more ideologically extreme behavior.” Why Are So Many Democratic Politicians So Far Out of Touch? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/o...

Taxpayer dollars should NOT go to vouchers! "Our lawmakers cut taxes for corporations and the wealthiest Ohioans, leaving the rest of us to make up the difference – all while continuing to funnel critical resources away from public schools to fund their unaccountable private school voucher schemes."

Go Redhawks!

Ohio voters deserve transparency and trust — not political games ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/03/18/o...

The Rooster: "Our state will never prosper, it will never reach its potential if we allow these guys (GOP) to run the state... We need regular people to get into the game." Vote May 5 for @hambleyforohio.bsky.social as secretary of state to bring FAIR ballot language & a fresh perspective to Ohio.

Just great...

“At a time when the private voucher program has diverted billions of dollars from our schools, you can be assured that Dr. Acton will fight against a rigged system.” A great opinion on why to support @amyactonoh.bsky.social for Ohio Gov in November!

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

“Voting is a right that ought to be encouraged, not discouraged.” A great primer on the threat of the SAVE act.

Just called my House Rep to vote no on the SAVE act.

Democrats need to start getting over their small differences before 2026. You don't need to agree on everything to know which side will actually make our country great again.

“The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not in the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot…”

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.
