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...
Huge numbers of Ohioans to see big increases in insurance costs • Ohio Capital Journal
A federal program is about to expire that could cost more than 100,000 Ohioans health insurance. The state's U.S. senators won't comment.

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.

One thing, I've seen some discourse, and yes. I have no patience for the national DNC shill orgs that ran the national campaigns either...
but downstream, on the ground, locals, volunteers that did the actual organizing
we need to care about them.
They're real people, and they have potential

Columbus Pride was today, so our No Kings event was part protest and one part massive celebration.

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?

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!

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.

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.

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.

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*
