Meet my 3rd great grandfather, Norman Sills, a miner in the late 19th century. A lot of my grandmother’s side worked as miners and rail workers in PA and OH. He died in a mine collapse. Let’s not go back to coal.

This is blatant, straight-forward corruption coming out of the Ohio Statehouse. Do not believe a single word Matt Huffman says.

Today’s double sided poster for Hands Off protests. Attended 2 today! One in our county seat and the other in my small Ohio city. Good turnout for both! People are angry about the cuts to the federal government, DOGE, and the Trump tariffs.

We had amazing turn outs today! Columbus alone was 5-6k people standing up for democracy despite the rain! Canton had around 1800, & in Wilmington, what was a protest of 1 a few weeks ago was over 200 today!
We will share more once our final headcount’s come in, but you all blew us away today Ohio!

Also, I guess while I’m begging people to do things - if you’re still saying stuff like “there’s not gonna be an election after 4 years” - esp if you’re outside the US - I’m sorry, but this is both ignorant and unhelpful. Things are bad, yes, but a lot of people are fighting for betterment.

If the last few months have made anything clear, it's that we can't rely on the mythical "moderate conservative" to stop this. If we're going to get anything done, we've gotta do it ourselves.
Warren: "This is really a moment when Republicans in the House & Senate have to ask themselves - are they really just here to bend the knee to whatever Donald Trump wants, even if it crashes economies all around the world? Or are they here actually to represent the interests of the American people?"

Ohio library funding is on the copping block (like everything else these days) and they need our support! Contact your local representatives (helpful links on this page) and tell them how much the library means to you!
