😬 JFC. We've spent 80 years trying to contain the USSR and now Russia. All for nothing?
I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Make sure everyone you know hears about #ICELawlessness & knows the story of US CITIZEN & IRAQ WAR VETERAN, George Retes.

"ICE officers used tear gas, broke his car window, and applied physical force, including kneeling on him, while he complied with their instructions."

Is this freedom?

Great public schools for everyone. Get your religious instruction at the religious place of your own choosing, and let others do the same. We used to be in the Top 10 for all schools, now down in the dumps. Come on, Ohioans, let's do better for our kids.

No one should be forced to give birth in the waiting room after being ignored by medical staff. No one's body should be used as an incubator for an embryo unless permission is given by prior approval of mother and/or family. I could go on and on. 🥺
What is Birth Justice?

We believe that Birth Justice exists when women and transfolks are empowered during pregnancy, labor, childbirth and postpartum to make healthy decisions for themselves and their babies.

Pitchforks it is, then, since we're throwing around money.
Must read column from @willbunch.bsky.social on l'Affaire Epstein and the coming bonfire of the elites

"I’m not a financial expert, but if I had disposable cash I’d avoid the hyperinflated AI bubble and invest in a company that manufactures pitchforks."
Epstein’s emails are the end of America as they ruined it
If the evil banality of the world's most powerful people exposed in the Epstein emails doesn't cause a revolution, nothing will.

Yes to girls and young women in STEM careers! :)
Rep. Luz Rivas started out with a STEM career. Then she formed a nonprofit encouraging girls to go into STEM. Then she leveraged that into a career as a politician. Rivas could be a role model especially for Latinas growing up. Hope this freshman can shine!

All fingers and toes crossed, she's a worthy candidate and a good return to Ohio values of fairness, compassion, and honesty.
Even after Tuesday, there’s a movement afoot in Ohio to encourage a last-minute primary against @amyactonoh.bsky.social — who is tied or ahead of Vivek in the polls and has the highest job approval rating in Ohio — under the whispered notion that a woman can’t win.

Read the room.

Shameful. 😢
This is what you enabled with all your talk of groceries and a funny laugh, with all your talk of shareholder profits, with your eye on mergers, your obsession with deregulation, and your “both sides” excuses. You have betrayed the promise of this country.

Walmart. Sigh.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Those concerns, of course, give away the game"
