What Happened to Ohio? The fraying of my family and our working-class hometown

This chimes with what I remember and experience of Ohio, right down to themes of and anecdotes about local news and social mobility that I tried to handle in "On Freedom." The essay is wonderful and I am liking forward to reading "Paper Girl."

There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.

A person worth knowing about

American parents, please ignore Trump’s recent reiteration of nonsense about Tylenol and vaccines, as well as anything the man ever says about the health of your children. Please talk with your medical professionals.

I'm so excited

The new bunker is the real renovation.

Inside the Secretive Police Squad That Terrorized Detroit's Black Community in the 1970s The elite team was supposed to clean up the streets. It turned the city into a deadly battleground instead.

WIC and SNAP funding will end.
This isn’t a “problem”..this is going to be a FAMINE.

Let that sink in.

It "took time". I highly doubt we ever will be what Auschwitz became. But pay attention America. It is a slippery slope that can surprise you as the steps increase in that direction, and many bad things can happen along the way.

Learn from history so that we don't repeat it.

There’s always a tweet/truth or whatever you want to call it.

1. Release the Epstein files!

2. The Epstein files are sitting on my desk and I will release them very soon

3. There are no Epstein files and the case is closed

4. There are Epstein files but they are forgeries created by Obama and Hillary so if you like me you will never talk about them again

"The Constitution, of course, grants Congress no express power to strip people of their citizenship, whether, in the exercise of the implied power to regulate foreign affairs or in the exercise of any specifically granted power." - Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967).
