Experts are warning that more than 500,000 Ohioans are poised to lose insurance subsidies starting next year. In many cases, the increased costs they’ll face will be so big that more than 100,000 will lose their coverage, they warn ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/08/18/h...

Great sign! 😊

The Feel Good Friday non-profit is Kaleidoscope Youth Center: www.kycohio.org June is Pride month! To celebrate and support Pride, Indivisible Central Ohio has identified local organizations that provide support to the LGBTQ+ community.

I took the refugee kiddos to the zoo today. I may actually die of exhaustion.

checked out the statehouse today, hbu? 🤭 ft. the squad: @ohwomenalliance.bsky.social @abortionforward.bsky.social @ppaohio.bsky.social

When you say it that way, it all sounds so…silly.

The Ohio Democratic Party was so awful to our longtime, local organizing group. It was so disrespectful and demoralizing. We had hundreds of volunteers, registered thousands of voters and got no statewide help and zero campaign materials despite trying over and over.

Why does he have an entirely new accent? That is not what people from Cincinnati sound like, and before today it isn’t what Vance sounded like either.

Columbus Pride was today, so our No Kings event was part protest and one part massive celebration. Columbus Pride always shows the loving heart and joyous soul of Columbus. They underestimate how much we love each other and the power of that love.

I brought my refugee friend to the low income health clinic. Most people in the waiting room are immigrants. Several men in uniforms walked in and the room went silent. It turned out they were EMTs, but we all watched them the entire time and were relieved when they left.

Ever since I found out that federal senators use keyword AI for their messages to gauge constituent concerns, I call after hours and say “no Medicaid cuts” and “it is not waste to provide affordable healthcare to the people of Ohio” over and over.

Maybe the billionaires will have 2 cars instead of 30 cars...and maybe the 2nd house will cost a couple of bucks more due to wealth taxes? Then, maybe, everyone else can have healthcare and fully funded schools? We tax the top 1% fairly so the bottom 50% can afford to survive? TAX THE RICH.

In 2007, I made a $50 micro-loan to a through Kiva.org. When that loan was paid back, I rolled that same money into another micro-loan. Since 2007, that money (with a little more added from time to time) has been used for 22 microloans in 11 developing counties. What a good investment!

Satan's Spawn Elementary, here we come! Malicious compliance ftw every time.

Our refugee family has continued to settle in. I am helping the mom find a job and giving the 27 yo driving lessons. The kiddos are learning English so fast! Someone let them try ice cream, so they ask for it a lot! I am worn out, but continue to be grateful for the opportunity to support them.

Chuck Grassley gets called out at a town hall… "  Stop the use of the word entitlement because it's insulting to all of us." 🔥 #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

"We make eggs many colors. Then a rabbit comes in your house and hides them for the children and also brings a basket of chocolate and candy...." "But once the kids sleep, YOU are the rabbit!" -Me trying to explain American easter traditions to the refugee family. They were so, so confused.

Man, this timeline is getting weird and Trump is totally going to end up banning TikTok. The Chinese suppliers outing Western brands that produce in China and do the last stage in other countries so they can slap a “made in” label there are going to be the nail in the coffin. It is so interesting.

This little girl is my grandma with her little brother and my great grandmother who I called Grammy. Nothing speaks to the universal experience of motherhood more than that finger pinning down my Grandma's wiggly arm. Genealogy brings humanity to the names on a family tree. I love that finger.

Trump is about to FAFO with gen Z. Getting rid of the de minimis exemption and putting tariffs on SHEIN orders is going to enrage fast fashion-loving young people who generally don’t pay attention to politics. It’s gonna be fast and furious.

Now that we’ve heard back from all of our locations, we can share that our official count for Ohio’s Hands Off! protests was 46,980 people across 57 locations! In towns big and small, we all turned out in the rain to stand up for democracy, against executive overreach, and to say #HandsOff !

Huge turnout in Columbus today. I am pooped, but it was a good day!

I bought a new-to-me used car last Saturday. I prioritized a safe brand and low mileage bc this tariff stuff is surely going to be a shitshow. Trying to figure out what else we should buy before prices skyrocket.

My dumb dog has seizures so they put her on a med that makes her a menace and ravenously hungry. This morning she stole a whole box of bakery cookies from the table and ate them all, including a chocolate one. Now we are at the vet so she can barf it out. *sigh*

I need to know: how did Cory Booker pee?

Weird minivan moms, we ride at dawn!

Up in trump country buying a new used car to beat the tariffs. The Mr is undermining my TAX THE RICH tshirt by repeatedly saying things like “I have to transfer money over from the brokerage acct” and “I am just buying her car for her, she doesn’t need to be on the financing documents.” 🙄

A group that focuses on electing Democratic women who support abortion rights has announced it will target 46 U.S. House seats held by Republicans in the midterms. In Ohio, it includes incumbent GOP Congressmen Max Miller, Michael Turner and Mike Carey

*Please share so EVERYONE hears this - THIS is the level of anger, rage and indignation we need to collectively be showing, voicing and channelling right now. NONE of this is 'Ok' and we need to let them KNOW. @kendallybrown (IG & TT) is speaking for ALL of us.

Whoa. "Now the debate among national security professionals is over whether the secretary was just incompetent or whether he was drunk. That’s how low this has gone. - Seth Moulton, not pulling any punches

I am BEGGING people to frame this properly. The issue here is not one colossal blunder where a reporter got info. The issue is it’s clear these people are all routinely ignoring the most absolutely basic security protocols, and WE HAVE NO IDEA what breaches this has already enabled.

Middle schoolers have better data privacy than these clowns.

This is literally the most bonkers attempt to cover very guilty, negligent asses I have ever seen. How stupid do they think people are? It is actually shocking. SHOCKING.

I have watched this hearing for two minutes. Tulsi Gabbard is toast.

Friends, it is Go Time. Today is a day to call your senators and house reps. Ask for firings and prosecution for all government officials on that group chat. They are putting out soldiers and our country in danger. There can be no compromise on consequences.

So if you have been overwhelmed and not sure how to protest, this is an easy entry point. Call your senators and demand not just firings, but also criminal prosecution for any government official sharing classified info on an unclassified group chat. It is a quick, easy call.

This expression is exactly what I am talking about. He is adorable.

I think they will get rid of Pete Hegseth and maybe Tulsi Gabbard. Hegseth's drunk, unhinged response put a bullseye right on him. I think Vance will get punished in like 6 months for saying that ab the president.

Buttigieg on cnn talking about this signal breech was truly brilliant. I could watch him swing between chastising and excited incredulity all day.

There is a medical clinic at Vinyard Church that takes many new refugees. I am hanging out in their office waiting and they are phenomenal. So many of these new arrivals don’t speak English & have insurance problems etc. They are so helpful and respectful, it does my heart good to see it.

Truth. After helping out at our Indivisble town hall today, I am completely wiped out and am in an introvert coma. I am just on the couch staring into space to recover. I will keep going out there, though.

My Ohio rep Anita Somani showed up for the people of Ohio. So proud she represents us. #ICOTownHall @anitamd.bsky.social

@indivcentraloh.bsky.social putting on a town hall because Ohio’s Republican senators and reps won’t meet their constituents. Join us to help fight for regular people to have a voice. #ICOTownHall #Indivisble indivisiblecentralohio.org

Our new arrivals have been here for 3 months. The progress they have made is remarkable. Most of them speak enough English now to have easy conversations with me. 3 have jobs (they are thrilled!) they are well on their way to becoming amazing community members.

The numerous ppl smelling overwhelmingly like weed in the bmv waiting room a made a surprising choice.

Just ordered myself these bc there are five adults who need to learn to drive in this family and it is not my first time at the new driver rodeo.

The oldest refugee adult kid passed his driving permit test this morning. He is doing his paperwork then I will take him on his first drive. (I’m a very nervous driving instructor, so send me good juju.)
