Over a hundred people showing up for democracy Zanesville today! I’d say the honks against fascism outnumbered the middle fingers for it about 3 to 1.

Vultures gathering to feast on the remains of my retirement plan.

And then provide $600 million for the Cleveland Browns. And attack higher education.

The most serious Nazi shit in this extremely Nazi shit executive order may be the idea, just slipped in there, that one of the "divisive narratives that distort our shared history" is that "race is not a biological reality but a social construct." www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Happy to be part of this great collection of essays!

This is all very plainly classified at the SECRET level.

Everything is fine. Everything is fine. No need to worry.

Great piece from Martha Pallante’s talk at YSU. Ohio is purported to have had the largest number of KKK members in the 1920s.

Pete Hegseth in 2023 on Biden "handling classified documents... flippantly": "If at the very top there's no accountability," then we have "two tiers of justice."

No way this guy accidentally leaked war plans in a text message

“Censorship is a weapon of the totalitarians. Freedom of expression is the bulwark of democracy.”

School vouchers were the most obvious scam in history.

Won't somebody think of the disgustingly rich crackers? Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam is on the verge of co-opting our State Legislature at the cost of everyone else in Ohio who isn't a criminal billionaire.

On Monday, Speaker Huffman blamed expenditures on uneaten green beans for why Ohio wouldn’t fund free lunches for schoolchildren.

Here in Ohio in early February, Governor Mike DeWine proposed a new biennial state budget, which included the final phase-in of a new school funding formula, whose first two phases were completed i…

Dewine is trying to fool Ohioans by using outdated numbers…
