She is saying a lot but her ACTIONS have not backed up the rhetoric. For all her talk, she's STILL voting with them to gut healthcare and advance self-dealing corruption schemes."

22.11.2025 22:10 β π 90 π 19 π¬ 0 π 0Threads post by lrc2009: George Will wrote an editorial in the Washington Post praising the career of term limited Gov. Mike DeWine of Ohio. Usually reader comments on articles and editorials can be a hot mess. This is one of the most brilliant responses Iβve read. Screen shot of comment : "Mr Will craves order, lineage, institutions, and a whiff of the old republic...the republic he's convinced existed in the soft glow before cable news melted everyone's frontal cortex. DeWine fits that bill because he's been around forever and never threw food in a congressional hearing. But that's all romance, not reckoning. Will skillfully forgets to mention that DeWine has a long record of moral conservatism that veers into people's private lives. He has a willingness to sign Draconian legislation, especially around reproductive rights and a tendency to hide hard-line policies behind the smile of a Midwestern grandpa who still remembers his 4H club. He also has a political survival instinct so strong that he practically shed his moderate skin whenever it suited the shifting winds of Ohio's electorate. Will glosses all this because DeWine appeals to his deepest craving: a Republican who doesn't behave like a feral raccoon in a dumpster. Will isn't judging DeWine by policy. He's judging him by temperament, by manners, the old fetish of his. If a politician is quiet, civil, and vaguely boring, Will swoons like he's watching Gregory Peck walk into a newsroom. What he refuses to confront is that decorum without decency is just lacquer. "
π§΅A Threads post in response to a George Will op ed praising Mike DeWine - the post includes a screenshot to a comment on the Will piece which is spot on in labeling DeWine as a radical right winger clothed in temperamental calmness
The comment is a luminous piece of prose, suitable for framing.
Black Maternal Mortality
The Elephant in the Room
Maternal mortality rates are 3.5 times higher for Black women than their white counterparts.
These disparities are due to lack of quality prenatal care, and affordable comprehensive insurance.
